I'd bet my next paycheck there's a coil spring 4" tube chassis under that car.
Based on condition (small block, incorrect gauges, incomplete interior with modded tranny cover, unknown miles and condition) should bring $75-80K US.
Don't know how that would translate to your local currency (euro ?), or what the european cobra market is.

I think that the bogus paperwork is the most likely explanation and your bet is a good one.

However, it does still seem strange to customize a perfectly good Kirkham dash board and transmission tunnel to look like that. So I'd say there is still a very slight chance that this could still be something like a Bristol that had a wrecked body, that they fixed by dropping a Kirkham body on top of the chassis. On the other hand the Kirkham body is probably too wide to fit a Bristol chassis.

Yeah, the bogus paperwork to get an early Kirkham into Europe does seem like the best answer.
