Somehow I suspect that Gallagher, being a loudmouthed white twallock, would have suited Crook's image. I rather liked the old BMW and Chrysler Bristols up until the 70s, but thereafter they just got uglier and uglier. The last one was still, well into the Noughties, using Vauxhall Senator tail-lights. The Fighter looked amazing, I don't understand why it didn't do better - perhaps more a problem with the brand than the car.

And the fact that if the 'up his own ass owner' didn't like you he would tell you to sod off

Bristol. Reassuringly expensive...or something like that.

Patsy Kensit bought it for him. He can't drive - great present.

The problem with the Bristol brand for me is that it just screams Nigel Farage. If Farage doesn't own a Bristol, he should...

Farage has, or at least had, a Volvo V70.

What does a Rover P6 scream?

All the same, there's something I rather like about the utterly un-self-conscious, exclusive approach to luxury that Bristol came to espouse. In an era when Bentleys are increasingly common, nouveau-riche and share more than is comfortable with VWs, I'd love to see them come up with a proper walnut, Axminster and Connolly saloon, with a suitably torquey and refined power unit (whether that's a sodding big Chrysler V8 - Bristol Buckingham Hellcat anyone? - or a gas-turbine-extended EV).
