I see the factory are making one of the GTR available at a generous price, presumably one of the Bristol chassis, as I understand it these were built on the normal line not in a separate shop as per the early GTN

not a bad margin if you consider that they must have got the chassis back from the Bristol Company at a knock down price?

all of the GTRs were built in a stationary position with the vehicle components and panels brought to the assembly location in the building with the junair booths.

You are assuming that Bristol got round to paying for them

I doubt even MMC would not wait for cleared funds before delivering to someone as financially flaky as Bristol

You can buy a lot of car(s) for £260,000.

I look at these and the Zagato Aston Martins which are anything from £400,000 to £750,000 and can't quite figure out how I could get my man maths to ever get to a yes decision.

No you have to pay extra for that on an Aston. Like everything else!


Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.
