I wanted to let everyone know that i am taking my Kirkham FIA off the market for the moment. It has been brought to my attention that Kirkham will no longer be offering there period correct FIA Cobra with front and rear transverse leaf spring suspension. I was told that most of these cars went to Shleby, an only a few were built for Kirkham customers.. In fact if you queary up The Imperial Palace Auto Collection in Las Vegas you will see a Shelby FIA for sale for $150,000.00...i do not know why but there it is. From what i understand the demand for Cobras with coil over suspension is greater and the cost of tooling for the FIA with transverse leaf springs was high. I do not believe you can now get a period correct transverse leaf spring FIA Cobra from Kirkham but i do not know that for sure. From what i understand only a handfull of Kirkham FIA's were made. I believe the company is now focusing on their FIA Hybrid. I do not know if this makes any difference or if the facts are all correct. But before i part with this one i thought i would check things out first. If anyone has more information i would appreciate knowing.
