The cars...you perv.

I don't get the appeal.
I guess they're "eccentric" to some degree but to me they just look all out of proportion and poorly finished.

Very queer.

This one looks nice.


98% of the time I'm right. Why worry about the other 3%.

They do have an air of 1980 kit car about them.

The Blenheim looks like a cross between the Reliant Scimitar and Bond Equipe, and the Fighter just looks like a chunky Marcos.

Jeremy Clarkson is apparently banned from the Bristol showroom and the owner has also banned James May too, just in case.

I’m not allowed to have any of these as my avatar, so here they are on my sig instead. However, I now can't add any new ones 

Did you ever hear anyone say “That picture had better be banned, because I might look at it and it might be very damaging to me”

OK so an expensive motor.

Quite like the Blenheim 3 if I'm honest, but you'd have thought they could check their website for errors:

TYRES - Front and Read: 215/70 x 15 (225/60 x 16 optional) Spare: Full sized located in front wing compartment.

Would be worried if this is a sign of their exclusive quality

9 Cylinder radial engine,... nice! It would take a decent sized fairing to cover that one...

Bugger... so that's how you drop it... now how do you pick it back up again...?

I was going to post the 2500HP Centaurus but the pic isn't quite as clear as to what it actually is.

http://www.stobbe.dk/library/engines/bristol/images/CentaurusV.jpg

18 cylinder (2 banks of 9 cylinders) supercharged, sleeve valve (think 2 stroke type ports on a 4 stroke), 53.5ltr engine

I'd like a 1961 Bristol 406 before the petrol runs out.

It was the last of the 6 cylinder cars and is just class.
