              We saw one of those at the weekend, in a rather fetching green colour.

              Bristol didn't help themselves by being over selective on who they would sell their cars to.

              Personally I'd like one of these please...

              Still it's rather telling that some of you don't recognise quality when you see it.

                Quite, and they do hold their value pretty well Bristol Cars Ltd - Used Cars

                You can pick up an 8/9 year old second hand fighter for a mere £128,000.

                  I reckon the values might be on the slide now.

                    Who did they sell 'em to, people with bad taste?

                    Frankly I'd be more concerned about viable British cars such as Land Rover, Jaguar, Aston Martin not owned by locals.
