How on earth have these guys remained in business all these years? It amazes me! Take a look at the options. Great to see a British company still going strong but with these designs I am astounded!

So you've got the "Bristol Fighter" that comes in at

Is it me or does the Blenheim look like a slightly restyled Capri?

Strikes me that people buy them PURELY to be different or to have a 'rare' car. However, you can achieve the same affect with any number of kit cars. Don't see what Bristol offer over kit cars apart from 'badge' and 'prestige'.
