Interesting that in the upcoming Bankruptcy sale of Bristol cars there are 8 Morgan V8 rolling chassis units complete with N62 engines (underpinnings for the Bullet).
Maybe MMC will bid and get them back and make 8 Specials ...wouldn't that be good ?!!!

Isn't it a great shame that we have lost another of our classy cars. The pictures reminded me of the last days of TVR and Jenson when the "old" Top Gear visited the respective factories. Still, the good news is that we still have Alvis who are starting small scale production again under the auspices of Red Triangle.
Here for a good time not a long time!!

Its here ![[Linked Image]](https://www.classicandsportscar.com/sites/default/files/styles/slideshow_slide/public/cloned-files/28%2028.png) I recall very many years ago when Jaguar was Jaguar, owners club members with their ears close to the ground intercepting a truckload or two of E type and XK body parts on their way to the scrappers  Not sure what happened afterwards or even if it was other than an urban myth.

Still, the good news is that we still have Alvis who are starting small scale production again under the auspices of Red Triangle. And offer full refurb on earlier cars.

There is also a 4-page article - "Bristol Requiem" - in the November issue of The Automobile magazine. It reports that the spares went to the Bristol Owners' Club, while the Bristol Owners' Heritage Trust picked up most of the items of historical importance, including styling models, wooden bucks and most of the documentation. As far as I can tell the "Bullet Project", which includes the one complete car and eight Aero 8 chassis, is still for sale.
A sad end.

It would not surprise me if the cars would be impossible to register now as they could not be made to comply with the current emission standards for new cars.
Such a shame that they were not able to succeed. The body styling looks very nice.
