TH3R4POR 0 Posted November 8, 2006 I don't think the styling is that bad, seems alot of British designs follow a similar pattern, but then I like the styling of Marcos's etc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted November 8, 2006 Styling is most definately not to my tastes! Ergh! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blue_Joe 0 Posted November 8, 2006 The styling of all Bristols has always been fairly "unique" But the company is still going strong and has been since 1946 I believe so fair play to them!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy665 0 Posted November 8, 2006 I think its gorgeous, Bristol still vet their customers very carefully. The previous owner, Tony Crook was notorious for turning away unsuitable customers from their one and only showroom in Kensington. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted November 8, 2006 lol - its an interesting way of doing business, thats for sure! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy665 0 Posted November 8, 2006 Liam Gallagher drives a Bristol but they would not sell him a new one. The early Bristols (401) were incredibly aerodynamic and were heavily based on BMW technology Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted November 8, 2006 Liking that....and a bargain next to the Bugatti too. Being a British car, it will no doubt arrive 6 years late and fall to bits within a month. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rosswalker 0 Posted November 8, 2006 There is something strange about it... the back is too high or the front too low. Hmm. - Ross Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy665 0 Posted November 8, 2006 Bristols have a reputation for being one of the best built cars in the world. The old Beaufighter wasan ugly pig and pretty antiquated but quality was superb. The Fighter is actually a pretty sophisticated bit of kit and they have a reputation for only announcing new models once the first customer car has been delivered.

Phil K 0 Posted November 8, 2006 £351,000. for a car that looks like that - I don't think so! Can see why they are limiting production of them and I doubt there will be a waiting list :? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy665 0 Posted November 8, 2006 Good link to the Bristol website giving details of the standard Fighter and Fighter S - this is definitely not a backyard special http://www.bristolcars.co.uk/BristolFighter.htm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
double-6s 0 Posted November 8, 2006 I don't really see the appeal of some massively snooty british car company who will only sell to Lord Lah and Lady Dah? Great. Ugly. Only owned by complete t*ssers. But fookin fast! Errr....... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy665 0 Posted November 8, 2006 They are surely no worse than Ferrari vetting customers for their limited run cars. IIRC they only build about 50 cars a year, always have a waiting list and are profitable - thats a position that not many British car manufacturers are familiar with Personally theres a lot of cars I'd own in preference to a Bristol but I greatly admire the fact that they are totally independant and do things their own way Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
