Bristols have never had anything as vulgar as styling features Dave, the early models were remarkably aerodynamic for their time - the 401 had a Cd of 0.36, remarkable in 1948 and probably still comparable to some cars today!
From these earliest beginnings the cars evolved into the last model of Blenheim, through various iterations and most of the changes made were to improve aerodynamic performance, but also to take into account modern aesthetics. The exception to this was the 412/Beaufighter targa-type coupe's which were Zagato designed and are very much a Marmite choice.
The Fighter is worth a long post which maybe Gyp can do, detailing the history and the fact the shape was designed by an ex-Brabham F1 engineer, with a Cd of 0.28. Again remarkable, I'd still love to own one!
As regards Jensen's I loved the Interceptor, but hated the CV8. That front styling and the bodywork was fibreglass, compared to the Superleggera derived body construction on the Bristol. It's really no contest old boy!
