I forget which Kirkham is the engineer, but the bulk of their improvements seem to be what their clientele want. I didn't like that they moved the shifter forward and started using a straight shifter and I didn't like the new sidepipe muffler design, but you can have your Kirkham anyway you like it. The more original, the more expensive.

About the Girling brakes, I remember David or Tom saying in a thread that the Girling brakes have about 3,000,000 parts more or less. However, I prefer the big Wilwoods for safety reasons. To each his/her own.
