If you read your registry further you may see something about Kirkham eventually bought the factory after some troubles with Poland that I cannot recall at this moment.

No, I didn't miss the point, but I'm also not going to say that it could NEVER happen either. A conspiracy theory is a conspiracy theory.
In that brief snippet that I posted directly from the Kirkham website, "
he (David Kirkham) forged some agreements" with the Polish factory to build Cobras. So, is Dugly trying to say that Kirkham, a smart business person, didn't have exclusive rights to that Polish factory for every single Cobra made and that the Polish factory may have sold "knockoff" Kirkham Cobras to other buyers, who then shipped them from Poland to North America and one may have ended up in British Columbia?
Now I may have missed it in the Registry and I don't have it in front of me, but I don't remember that story being stated. I could be wrong, but I can't believe that Kirkham after investing a pot load of money in equipment and materials overseas wouldn't have the exclusive rights to all Cobras coming from the former jet factory.
However, maybe the President of Poland decided he wanted a Cobra and in an "off the books" transaction with the Polish workers, had them build a Cobra that Kirkham never knew about, and with "666" stamped in several places, which landed in British Columbia as the OP's car. I guess that scenario could have happened.
