Sorry to disagree Chris, but I think the red one looks like a Sierra  ;)

yes i had a look at the link too.... but found it hard to tell if it is a new car or sommat from the 70s/80s.  

At that price i would kick the beetle outta the shed n cover up the bristol tho - and not just to hide its ugliness!  Rural crimewaves n all that.

Are the brackets at the rear for a "pickup" version? Could be good for camping gear for those going to Le Mans ;D

Bloody hell, will one of you rich buggers out there just buy me one of those,please?

Good taste? Who the hell promised good taste? I just want to lose my license with so much extra power in the engine bay that I just haven't used......

how the hell can anyone justify having one of them???

Even miserly Pugitts can go faster than my Little Midget but who cares ? how much extra fun can you get not driving anywhere near as fast as the car could go?


OK change of mind, even if you are really rich, don't buy me one OK? I don't want it  after all....

Frankly my dear I don't give a.... thingy!

 :P

Yes indeed, a Bristol!
They're made to order apparently, and I think this is number 8, I'd be surprised if they've made double figures.
I'm more sure about the cow sh*t, they've certainly made double figures.

....and there was me thinking that farmers were all piss-poor these days.
As ever, all about personal taste - but I can't figure why all these low-volume, 'bespoke' cars never quite look right. At first I scoffed at the suggestion that it was Corvette-like, but I stand corrected - the rear quarter panels are quite similar to those of a C5.
I think I'd rather have a Viper SRT10 (from which this car gets it's motive power), being about a quarter of the price and much, much nicer looking in my view. I'd post a pic for comparison, except I don't know how.....

My Brother recently went to Vegas and decided to hire one for a day trip to the Grand Canyon. I always used to be a Ferrari fan (and still am) but I have to admit that side by side, the Viper is a good looking car. The guy who hired the Ferrari wished at the end of the day he had done the same as my Brother, especially as it was half the price  :o
