    Here is a comparable on E bay now..
    Not as nice a build
    this is what a kirkham on a budget looks like.
    for $160,000.00

    no Stainless, no polished body, black roll bar and pipes etc..
    Not a happy looking car..

    I always wondered about these. I especially like the type they have without the roll bar and side pipes.

    Stunning piece of automotive art, a lot of car for the money too....
    ....and better quality of bodywork then any original Cobra (thanks to Polish craftsmen at former MIG factory who built that thing)

    Michael, is that the Lawrence Ellison car? I assume it is.

    I hope you get your price but the prices are really all over the map and often come up on cobra country for very reasonable prices. I personally don't know why anyone would sell a car like this? what can you buy that is cooler? what can you buy that's faster?

    answer: nothing save for a lola t-70 mk III B.

    by no means is this a budget 289 fia.

    Infatuation did not last to long. You show purchase on your post of 03/10/14. What are the problems?

    In case you have not been following my saga................
    My tunnel vision is quite an obsession..
    Thats because there is a 288 waiting at the end of the tunnel.

    This is my way of getting there!

    ALL PPI's are welcome..In Fact!!!I will even pay for it!
