Is it me or is something not quite 100% with the way the wheel/tyres sit in the arches?
Well spotted Ken,I am prompted to burst into song "Underneath the arches......da da Di da Di da.Also I have spotted that the driver is looking sideways,not clever when driving at speed.

Just seen the Bristol Bullet.
0 to 60 ...3.8 secs.

I've always had a soft spot for Bristols.

I can remember once speaking to Tony Crook about buying one of his cars.
As you may know, he was not always an easy gentleman to deal with. The supply of one would not be possible, but he suggested that I should have a pair of Bristols. Unfortunately at that time, I could not get my hands on any assets.
He said something about an expected Russian model, but I don't know what ever happened to that idea. With your soft spot for Bristols Steven, do you know if there could have been any further development?

Saw this on display at Shelley Walsh on Sunday where the local Bristol Club were holding their concours. The design looked pretty disjointed to me seemingly trying to take design cues from a various models in Bristols past.
The rear wings looked like something from an American 60's car and am amazed they can make it into production. The grill of the car looked very memo like and the alloys looked faro modern and big for the arches. Hadn't even thought about the roof.
Didn't work for me - as you may have guessed!

Life doesn't get any better than that.

However I beg to differ,I quite like it.
It has strong design echoes of the 1955, 405 convertible as in the pics.....
