eBay tat volume 3.

Looking at the swage lines on it though, build quality is only 'approximate', adding lots of cheap parts they've bought from the local Andrew Page, and local Vauxhall breakers, they are so utterly half arsed to me, and the bloke selling them was an arrogant tit, no wonder they eventually went bust, you don't go and piss off potential customers the way he did, they went straight in to the hands of the Germans. I have shuddered though at that utterly fucking gopping Rolls SUV, and drop a very large TEREX dumper on top of every one of them, with the owners in it

I'd be tempted to buy a packet of Sharpies and colour in the gap between the lights & bootlid on that Bristol

Why do they look like the worlds most expensive kit cars?

Because they are.

Stupid question here, but are they senator rear lights

If so, Bristol should have borrowed the rest of the car. They're better looking than that.. thing..

Those late Bristol's are superb. It's like they just thought fuck it lets carry on building these things one at a time (literally).

I must admit if I'd just bought one brand new for god knows how much I would be having second thoughts on the arse end...

I love Bristols ( fnarr fnarr) but I can't work out why or how they managed to make this look so bad.

When they obviously weren't going to work, why not just use some Carlton ones?

From which level of circumstances to what level of circumstances does your life have to change that you must get rid of such a trailer park ornament?

I have wanted a cruddy old yank for ages, that looks just the ticket. I am down to my last crumbs though...

Bristol were one of those firms that really stimulated my interest in cars in the late 80s/early 90s - it was fascinating that they still existed along with all the other British 'minows'; Reliant, Ginetta, Lotus, TVR, Morgan etc etc...

The Bristol guy was Tony Crook. The 'showroom' was a kind of tiny corner shop in a scruffy bit of Kensington. The later cars do look a bit kit-car but the early ones were beautiful. If you want to find out about Mr Crook see here...and one of the traits of really successful entrepreneurs is to delegate and manage others. Henry Ford knew that...

The article does a poor job to paint Mr Crook the character he really was.

If he spotted someone he didn't like heading for the showroom, he dashed to the door and flipped the sign to closed.

He did that on Michael Winner and anyone with long hair, tattoos, or wearing those there Denims.

He maintained that the door hinges of a Bristol, a penny article in other car makes, cost over 60 quid to make, thus last forever.

Under his ownership you could get a full service of your Bristol at the Kensington premises for 75 quid.

He paid some homeless people, for whom he always had an open wallet, to hang around at the Rolls Royce stand at a car show.

The story of him attending a motor show dressed as a sheikh goes like this: he went to the Frazer Nash stand and pretended to

buy every car they had for sale.

He considered advertising vulgar and pointless.

He had a total dislike for motoring journalists and refused give them cars to evaluate. If they got their hands on one despite

and published anything bad about them, he sent them letters turning those bad points around in a very humorous way.

He wrote with a fountain pen filled with green ink.

He ran the company for half a century. After selling his stakes, it took a mere four years for it to go into receivership.

His achievements as a racing driver are vastly underrated.

Oh FFS.

FJ have given me a really decent quote for this as well.

How a LHD V6 Olds is cheaper (and by a lot) to insure than an Alfa 164 is beyond me, but okay.

'You're the high bidder'

Fuck. I genuinely cannot afford but fuck it

And yes it has 5 days to go. And yes i should have bid later. But I secretly want to get outbid.
