Had another look - at £150k it would take sales from some mass affluent car fans but at £250k its moving towards eccentric millionaires and a vastly reduced customer base.
Price aside (and there are plenty of fortunate souls who can afford to think that way) isn't its biggest problem the fact that it doesn't even look like a Bristol?
Check out images of the 404 and 405 Drop Head Coupes - not too dissimilar
Thank you Stewart - I stand educated and can see now where the inspiration comes from. I did make the distinction that I associated Bristols with the "mainstream & slightly bulbous but nonetheless handsome GTs". Now I know why - the handfuls of 404 and 405 dropheads were actually built by Abbott Coachworks in Farnham rather than by Bristol themselves. Still don't like the new one though...
