fizzbitt Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 On the M62 as coming out of Leeds yesterday in rush hour. From a distance you notice its weird arse and then as i got closer i read the Bristol on the back. The whole car looks out of propotion. Was in the same colour and model as this pic.

garcon magnifique Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Awesome cars those Bristols. Spotters badge to the first person to identify those tail lights - and what engine they put in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizzbitt Posted April 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 OPEL MONZA (google is my friend) To be honest when i first saw it from a distance i thought it looked like a weird volvo from the rear! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiser647 Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Those Bristol things have always been a bit 'out of proportion'. Quirky, with a big (rich) following. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philbes Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 is that the Blenheim with the spare wheel inside the front wheel arch? Bristol were putting the spare wheel (and battery) in the front wings when I worked there back in the late 1960's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mook Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Lights are off a Vauxhall Senator I'm sure - I remember the law having those as jam sandwiches in the 80s. Bristols (as in the cars) are hideous things to me. No design or engineering flair - they're just full of bumbling britishness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cockney Boy Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Senator lights for sure, makes the car look tacky and cheap, no wonder they wont let anyone from Topgear in their showroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigyb Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 I thought it was the other company that won't let top gear in. Name escapes me but they make cars out of wood.

Mook Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 Clarkson and May are banned from the Bristol showroom. Not sure about Morgan, but Hamster's got one and he raves about it, so I don't think they'd ban the other two. You never know though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
