RE: PH Carpool: Bristol 410
Discussion
Lovely, really lovely, thanks for sharing. That interior is gorgeous.
I visited the Kensington showroom once, the salesmen all seemed to be heavy-smoking playboys who went water-skiiing on holiday. The cars ooze class, and the Fighter I sat in was beautifully solid and really nicely designed inside. A defo lottery car, but I'd have a 410 first.

Classy. Only thing that really compares with one of these would be RR Corniche coupe (which is essentially a 2 door Silver Shadow). Except that the Bristol is so much rarer. I like.
Or perhaps an Alvis? The Facel Vega has a similar 'cool coupe' look too, but obviously isn't British.Bristol cars are so so rare though and only recognisable to us anoraks. I've only ever seen one 410/411 on the road and that was on the way back from Le Mans about ten years back. The driver was togged-out in the style of an English country gent - tattersal check shirt and v-neck jumper - and was black. Uber cool.

Interesting piece spoiled slightly by the total lack of any pictures that show the front of the car! Is it not too pretty I wonder?
A fair point 
Here you go. Sorry it's a bit grubby here.
It's not that the front isn't pretty, but I do love the profile view!
