Tony Crook - the late CEO of Bristol Cars was quite a character and of trenchant views - I expect he regarded fiddling with the wireless an effete activity - only to be undertaken before setting off and not touched after.

There was a name in Exchange&Mart, every week for years and years, who wanted to buy your Bristol.
Got into legal trouble over something. Could have been a Brian…

Thats the 'Bristol' Brian May (who was Birmingham based). I never knew the badger-baiter Brian May had one.

As demonstrated by Tony Crook by detonating a tyre at 60mph while driving on Filton runway in front of the assembled motoring press.

Alvis, IIRC.  I think John Alderton drove one in a series too but can't remember which.
