I'm not a lover of buying groceries but on a visit to Tesco Dumfries last weekend, I came across this lovely old Bristol in a very english colour! I had heard of these quirky cars but never seen one in the flesh so to speak:

That's a rare thing...I was surprised to find a big chunk of the Bristol Aerospace Museum (where there's a Concorde parked up for you to sit in) devoted to Bristol cars, since they were borne out of the WW1 aviation industry. Fascinating. I'd argue that 412 there isn't the most elegant one they produced.

412 convertible? The woeful hood's not original. Used to see on of those occasionally in Newport Pagnell in the 90s.

I actually did spot these at a local supermarket - but posted them in the spotted thread. Whilst shopping I found these two in the car park. Rather "usual" merc wagon and a scorpio (Your granada) mk1 in Ghia & RS trim. Spoke to the owner if he did search long for this. No, he owns for 25 years and till half a year ago it was his daily driver.
