I'm struggling to say anything positive about the Blenheim above, especially that horrible boot. So... here's a similar but nicer looking Bristol, the Brigand.

The Blenheim is very probably the most stupid way to spend £150K!!! A hideous, pointless anachronism.

Designed by Mr Magoo by any chance sorry don't see the attraction That's kind of the Bristol ethos, really - they're the thinking man's Rolls Royce, they don't bow to considerations of public image, they just build the cars they want to. Kind of on the principle that if anyone has a criticism of the car's aesthetic, they're not the sort of people they'd want to be selling to anyway. Wilfully unusual, if you like.

Admirable theory if your building cars for your self but some one needs to advise them that in business the general idea is to make money!!! something Bristol have long had a problem doing ....... building cars that look like that its just not going to happen

Of course, it's not the first Bristol to borrow someone else's tail-lights. Recognise these...?

Shame it has mis-matching headlights. E30 smiley's on one side and normal E30's on the other.

Although their assets have now been bought by part of the Frazer-Nash group (see here), but I'm not holding my breath for any new cars any time soon. As for this one, I'll be honest, it looks like a £150,000 kit car. The interior especially looks so thrown together, gauges straight out of Demon Tweeks or Car Builder Solutions catalogue.

1989 Peugeot 205. You know, the one that was parked in a ditch on the campsite at RRG'17... the glass is always full. but the ratio of air to water may vary.

I have to agree. If I'm honest, I think it all went wrong with the 412 and 603. 404 and 405 were their finest hour.

Wow, some vitriol towards Bristols on this thread; sure it's not everyone cup of tea, but may I suggest if you can't say anything positive yadda yadda yadda... In other words,shut yer yaps like it states in the rules. Oh, and the rear lights on the left-hand car are Vauxhall Senator; the Beaufighter's are MKII EscortThe interior especially looks so thrown together We'lllllll........ agree to disagree on that one.
