Bristol 3S

The sporty car for old English gents in tweed jackets

Sorry boys, but this looks like a Ford Capri (I don't know what the coupe was named in the UK) atthe front and an Opel (Vauxhall) at the rear.

who should buy this?

My thoughts exactly !!

Possibly the most expensive, but cheapest looking, car on earth !!

[.mark]

Agree with you both, but my inital thought was Morris Marina!
152.5K for this, not wonder the British car market is doing so well!!!!!

[kooperkidd]

Is this some sort of sick joke?

[Stig]

Shite.

Woah..is that a joke?...I rather fork out for Speed 12 then prehistoric car..

[marki]

mmhh 16" wheels awsome

Bristols are always pig ugly, this is no exception. The Gallaghers like 'em, thay can 'ave em. Mad for it - not!

[dubbs]

Everyone has noticed EXACTLY what I was going to say!!LOL!!

Senator rear lights and a capri body. Why bother when the AM vanquish is in similar territory?

[marki]

Liam Gallagher ,,, i wonder what chemicals he waz on that day

[Fatboy]

While it may lok just like some horrible mutation of a capri (just what I thought too ), the regular blenhiem has on of the stiffest bodyshells ever tested IIRC, so it might be better on the track than you think,

Still, for 152k, I'll take an Impreza P1, Evo VI, Lotus Elise, Cerbera and a Yamaha R1

[campbell]

I;ll have that too Fatboy insted of the capri

[domster]

It was given to Liam by his ex, Patsy Kendalmintcake, if I remember.

No wonder he scarpered a few months later.

That said, would I be unfair in thinking her taste in men is almost as dodgy as her taste in cars? ;-)

Unfortunately, money and taste rarely go hand in hand.

And here's the proof.

[Marshy]

Oh my oh my.

Interior is perfectly hideous... bolt-on upon bolt-on. Not nice.

Vauxhall rear lights. Niiiiiice.

And those wheels, along with the coupe body style, just serve to remind me of a Skoda Estelle. You know, wheels too small and tacky, tyres to tall, and so on.

Quicker than any Skoda, mind...

I am a big fan of the Bristol values but this is pushing the understatement factor a tad too far.

[Captain Chaos]

Understatement is what it's all about. Could do with a modern makeover however. Bring on the Fighter I say.

[RJO]

Actually, I think they deliberately style them like that so philistines won't buy them.

£152k

I'm clearly in the wrong business.

What a complete ABORTION.
