The proportions look slightly odd since they are based on a pre-war BMW platform.

It was claimed as war reparations by the Bristol Aircraft Company and has been progressively updated.

They appeal to old-school gentlemen and the comany does well, because one only ever needs to buy one and have it periodically rebuilt.

LJK Setright was an ardent fan and wrote a book thereon.

The looks don't matter, considering the photos that's not surprising

It's the most comfortable ride.

Unfotunately it was just a friend giving me a lift and not mine.

One day!

I really can see the appeal.

The Fighter is quite beautiful.

Might be tempted to bimble up to Kensington.
