I love everything about that car except for the price obviously.

Regards.

I wonder how he justifies such a big price tag? Especially when you can get a new Kirkham built to the same spec for less than half that.

I know the Kirkham is a spot on replica but really?

So ,

How many are there here... On the way...

Fully registered ...
Club registered...

Mine has been here on full rego for 6 years now!

How many more ???

Just curious !

Soul.
Room for one more?

Any advice on how to get one in the country with the least amount of cost/hassles?

Is it possible to have a LHD version in Australia?

Greetings Jesse James.

Firstly, welcome to Club Cobra. Always good to have another Australian onboard.

So, if you want a Kirkham with the "least amount of cost/hassles", did you see post #107 above where a figure of $285k (i'm assuming that's AUD, not USD) is mentioned? That was posted in 2014, so probably not representative of the cost today.

Kirkhams can be registered here in Australia, but it depends very much on which state you live in. I believe the registration situation in NSW would make it a challenge for legal registration of any Cobra replica, but possibly a Club member from NSW might chime in with some relevant comments.

Another thought ..... have you made contact with the NSW Cobra Club? They would be an excellent source of information. The Cobra Nationals are usually held on the October long weekend, but not sure if they are being held this year. If they are being held this year, you can't get any more information in one place about Cobras anywhere in Australia than at the Nationals!

Let us know how your story develops.

Cheers,
Glen (I'm in SA)
