Not entirely correct. Gerry Hawkridge is the European distributor for Kirkham through his Hawk Cars concern, but there are probably just as many Kirkhams supplied direct from Utah as through Hawk, including mine. They are all still Kirkhams though.
Gerry missed a great opportunity when Top Gear tested his Stratos, because he used a customer's car and didn't get it thoroughly checked and setup before filming, with a predictable outcome. To say that Gerry was "non too thrilled" is a massive understatement.
Provided it was fully insured for every eventuality, I'd be prepared to let them use mine. It isn't the most powerful Kirkham out there with "only" around 480BHP, but it is a nicely sorted and setup example.
