Bristol Cars
Bristol cars are very difficult to categorise. Bristol don’t produce many cars a year, those that they do are very expensive, they have no official dealers so must be contacted directly and their main model, the Blenheim, is rather anonymous looking.
Bristol Cars Ltd. would point out that the Blenheim’s anonymity is one of it’s strongest points. Not all of the world’s well-heeled wish to advertise their wealth, yet they still want the highest levels of comfort and luxury combined with easy power at their feet. They also want the exclusivity of a marque that only delivers around 100 cars per year. Bristol Cars satisfy that need amply. Cocooned in an interior of leather, walnut and Wilton carpets, you can’t fail to notice the attention to detail that Bristol have paid to their automobiles. Put your foot down and you are whisked to sixty in around six seconds. The Blenheim will also amply accommodate four strapping six-footers, and the boot has plenty of room for their luggage. Add great handling, great visibility, a quiet ride, a great safety record and what more do you want? Apart from the £140,000 minimum that Bristol Cars want for one, that is.
But Bristol Cars don’t just make a luxury express. They do a supercar as well. The Bristol Fighter is a 210 mph barnstormer with comfort levels not far off those of the Blenheim. Again you have the leather, the carpets and the armchair seating to cosset you, and again you have the discreet lack of ostentation in the looks. Sure, it looks fast, but you would think a Porsche would eat it for breakfast rather than the other way round. This is the ultimate wolf in sheep’s clothing.
What else could recommend Bristol cars to you? Well, they’re the last wholly British luxury car maker. Start saving now.
