I was also at the nec today and spent some time looking at this Bristol and I agree, it's a compete stunner. Bristol's are not to my taste but this car is gorgeous.

Bristol is a car that as an enthusiast you should want desperately, because on paper it ticks every box. But the stylists seem to have suffered from white stick syndrome, and all are awkward to look at in one way or another, but still with a strange appeal. Like Barbara Striesand for example.
Shades of Costin Amigo in the front of the fighter.

Jensen were able to produce cars much easier on the eye, despite on paper being much the same as Bristols. But Bristol is for the Gentleman, and Jensen is.......not.
