I seem to recall seeing a fantastic streamlined aluminium bodied Bristol from the 50's or 60's. Is that possible or am I confusing Bristol with another make? I think the car in question was finished in clear lacquer over the aluminium. In any case the aluminium was visible.
Do you think this is the one?
