no, its easy to differ, the form of the rear wheel arches, the form of the front flares or the form of the rollbars,
the alu(-kirkham) cars have a specific other shape in theses details

I'm going to have to agree with peterpjb and say that is NOT a Kirkham alloy body. That painted FIA body appears to be fiberglass. Although the ad does say aluminum body.

Shelby's own brochure of prototypes for sale describes it as aluminum. Maybe the photo is a fiberglass car but they appear to be selling an aluminum one. I guess someone needs to buy it so we can be sure.
