Whats your thoughts on this? Uses BMW 4.8 V8 and carbon fibre chassis. Not very pretty - but thats just my thoughts!

Bristol can do better than that and they know they can , you only have to look at the Fighter. Its a bitza .
Just thinking a few years ago they had a special in there showroom not to indifferent that you could order, so not that much thought gone into it just a nip and a tuck here and there.

Do you think with a bit of a "squint" it has the lines of good old Austin Healy 3000- then been butchered!!
T Yes I thought that too. Bristols (the cars) have never fully appealed to me, just a bit too quirky.

Last year I sought out the Tesla stand at Goodwood because I'd heard they were radical, but other than being fast and having a self-driving (coffin) mode, they were so so dull. I rather like the new Bristol, not least because it is the opposite of Tesla, and it will certainly stand out.
I think it could lose the extra lights at the front through - reminds me of the boy racers who added rally driving lights to their Ford Escorts in the 1980s.

Bet those mirrors are more useful than those fitted to trad Morgans though...  As for the rest of it, I'll keep the 4/4

If it was a £16,000 kit car I'd say it's a good effort but we know Bristol can do better than this and I imagine it will be in the 80K bracket at least.

That makes it a pretty cynical effort then really, a shame although I've never been a particular fan of them they were always a very established car, where as this looks like somebody having a dabble IMHO.
