Huge Bristols

Blenheim 3G to run on LPG. You could save a fortune by buying this £144,000 car...

Bristols used to be sexier in the past...

[loudpedal]

Couldnt agree more Bodo.

I followed a gorgeous old Bristol round the north circ the other day.

It just looked sooo cool. A really classy set of wheels in brilliant nick.

Had be drooling!

Anyone know any good Bristol links?

I have never ever seen the attraction of a Bristol , they are ugly turds with the mechanical`s of a yank

[Bodo]

What I was trying to say, is that old Bristols are more attractive than the new ones.
For the money of a Blenheim, I'd get a Cerbera and a Beemer (or other fast people carriers).

I question, that 140k+ quid are a competitive price, though.

I wouldn't call it a "pretty" car...

[loudpedal]

just found out the one i saw was a type 409. I dont think its ugly, I think it's classy.

BTW, I know its o/t but how do you guys post pics in your posts, so to speak...?

Find a pic... right click on it.. select properties... copy the location.

THEN, reply to a thread type in "[pic]" paste the location of the pic and then type "[/pic]" - removing the speech marks...

I agree, the Fighter has the mush of a prize fighter, it's howdeous! They'll sell though, to illinformed toff's who think there're being clever by buy the same car father did...bhaaaaaaah!

The Old 501's & 2's were very sexy and still are, wouldn't mind one myself... very classy

Total UK Price £205,625

Get a Bentley Continental R and have any 6cyl. shopping car as an additionally bonus for that kind of money

Does the Bristol have baby-songbird-leather-interior???

It's not pretty exactly, but it's better proportioned than the 3G. Also better proportioned rear end than the Tamora. All IMHO of course.
OTOH - 525 BHP, 525 lb/ft & 1475Kg

Ha Ha that could explain the price ,,,, i just dont get why any sane person would pay £200,000 for this mongrel of a car when you could get any combination of excellent cars for this kind of £££ , and it is ugly as well as expensive

[apache]

that'll be why theres so many around then

What baby songbirds

[venom]

Hideous Its got a fat a*se and gives the impression that a bored designer cobbled together a whole concoction of different cars, badly, and then slapped a hefty price tag on it.

Like the Mouse says though, there'll always be some tim-nice-but-dim rich boy who'll come along and buy a few.

Ah.. my beloved MK3.

Haven't seen the old girl in while.

Great to put her on autopilot, and jump in the back with a ladeeeeeee, saves suspension ware y'know.

Thanks for the vote Oh Venomous one. Ask her out, it can't hurt, go on you know you want to!
