If you're not talking about flippers here, then WTF are you talking about? You wrote the word "flippers."

Throughout the entire collector car market, there has always been a large demographic with changing interests, low threshholds of boredom, etc.
It runs right from six figure hotrods, Ferraris, Lambos, Porsches, current, vintage, and everything in between probably including the hole strata of Cobras, real, copies, almost real, etc.
If there is one particular demographic about Cobras is that now old guys that lusted after them as teens can actually afford some version of one, two stark realizations enter into the equation, A. they're getting older and B. maybe 2500lbs. & 500,600,700,HP wasn't such a great idea given A.
Lastly, it seems no matter how prepared some of these "enthusiasts" intent on being, the fact that they spent serious cash and have something that's hot, smelly, shakey, drippy, where things fall off once in a while, and will kill you for inattention.......see A.

Yes, TWICE, I said I was speculating. So, you're correct, my assertions and speculation are based upon unfounded assumptions. This is the Internet. Welcome!
And finally, it sounds like you agree with me. It's easier to buy and sell a $50,000 Cobra than a $150,000 Cobra. So that's one reason why you see no Kirkhams for sale on Cobra Country and about 25 SPF's (or whatever the number). So, argue away, even though it sounds like you agree with my "unfounded assumption."
To reiterate, the SPF is a well-built well-known widely available Cobra replica brand at an attractive price point and that's one reason why there are so many for sale as compared to Kirkhams. While the Kirkham is 3x as expensive, which eliminates most Cobra replica buyers, the perceived "delicate" alloy body and long wait time to get one are also reasons for fewer Kirkhams on the market. That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it.
