Bristol cars saved...

[Andyk]

I know we spoke about Bristyol cars going under...not really my sort of car.....but it was sad to see another marque going under. Well saved by Frazer Nash..

Well I for one am thoroughly delighted for them.

Would I buy one?........ No I wouldn't.
Would (IMO) British automotive manufacture be a lesser place without them........ Yes it would.

Long live the road less travelled. We, in our own way, travel that same road, though from an Italian map.

I hope they survive but i think the car they make is too expensive and it is not as good as it's rivals.

Spot on Miles.........I hate it when I hear of any marque going under.......People have put love, tears and sweat into the company for years.

....this is an example of what they saved..........

A crude cross between a Jensen Interceptor and an Americanised Ford Granada.....wheels too small........mis proportioned.........am I missing something???!!!!

But P, the Mona Lisa is pig-ugly and can't raise a smile, the Venus di Milo is broken and can't raise an arm (she could be high-fiving Adolph stylee for all we know), and then there's Kim Karbuncle who's full of silicone and can't raise her IQ above 10.

We'd miss 'em though if they weren't around. Sometimes beauty lies in the bits that aren't right.

....keep going Miles........................maybe around 2015 you will convince me....

Haha, thought it was worth a try at least.

Mark my words Bristol will rise Phoenix-like from the ashes.......................... in 2015 probably.

The Bristol Fighter was an odd but serious piece of kit 0-60 4 sec and 210 mph from a 8 ltr V10.
I followed one up the M4 the other day, different styling but rare at over £200k.

I saw a blue Fighter at Cribbs Causeway in Bristol once...In the flesh it certainly caught my eye...Not my cup of tea as I said but a striking car never the less.

 

[Parisien]

Guys....if it did arise Phoenix like.......up-dated...re-styled.....refocused...appealing to the new markets too as a top-notch British product.......a future for it......
