It depends on the Kirkham. Some of them have original style suspension that is supposed interchangable with an original Cobra. Some Kirkhams have fancy light weight billet aluminum suspensions that are different but bolt up to their orignal style frame. The more you make a Kirkham like an original style car, the more expensive it gets. There are supposedly some subtle differences that are not well known, but would allow an expert to tell apart a true original from a Kirham that is meant to look very original.
Original Cobra owners buy original style Cobra replacement parts from Kirkham. Rumor has it that some of the Kirkham Cobras are so original looking that they can masquade as original clone Cobras at fancy events like Goodwood, while the real million dollar car is safe at home in the owner's garage.
