[OCD]

Dear Mr Kirkham

I'll be joining your ranks of satisfied customers as soon as Gerry Hawkridge has built my Kirkham slabside to rolling chassis stage - getting very excited! My username, OCD, refers to the fact that this will be my 9th Cobra replica since 1988 (Obsessive Cobra Disorder - sadly no cure but to keep buying stuff).

Hope I'm not letting the cat out of the bag when I say that Gerry will have a facsimile Allen Grant car at this years NEC Classic Cars show in Birmingham, England, Nov 13-15. Not sure if its a Kirkham or a grp car, but seeing as it will be painted yellow with the black stripes etc, its probably grp. That said, he's working on the same thing in aluminium. The car resembles what you have built in many ways, namely the rear flares but of course was built on a 260 originally, hence no side vents.

Met a guy last week who used to cycle to the AC factory when he was in his early teens and have tea with the 289/427 line workers!

Will put some pictures of my Hawk onto the website in due course - generally acknowledged to be the best in the UK.

Look forward to posting some more anon.

Regards
Colin
