Nonsense,
You can pick up Bristol cars and engines for £100.00, I defy you to find "Bristol A Private Car2 for that Kind of price, if so I will buy it for £50.00 as many as you can find!
Please let me know when you find one, mine cost £600.00 new in 1999.
My Bristol Cars and engines cost me £60.00 in 1999.
Â.
No contest!
Â.
Every month at least one copy of Bristol Cars and Engines comes up on UK ebay and have fetched, at most £200.00 and one went for £60.00 last year, not a first edition.
Â.
Where you ideas come from I have no idea.
Â.
Try and buy a copy of a Private Car for £200.00 in the De lux form, you will not succeed.
Â.
I think you have mixed up the books, even Charles Oxley Books do not make £200.00!
Â.

Palawan still is selling the 2 volume Setright
book, according to their website:
"A Private Car – An Account of the Bristol" By L. K. Setright
Awarded the Montagu of Beaulieu Trophy by the
Guild of Motoring Writers 1999. Setright’s
Bristol book is essentially an account of all
cars that have borne the name Bristol. It is
written in the established Setright style, which
is meant to be a highly literate, comfortably
personal, appropriately technical, adequately
anecdotal, mildly scholarly, gently judgmental, and entirely honest.
see
http://www.palawan.co.uk/BookDetail....0the%20Bristol
The standard edition is 1/2 the cost of the
asking price for "Bristol Cars and Engines" (6.5" x 9")!

They (the Amazon Books) are not the Palawyn Press one published in 1999 I
think, as a 2 folio book.
It is call Bristol "A Private Car"
The one refered to can be picked up quite often on UK ebay at £100.00 or so
and a 1st edition at that.
"You can tell these books by their cover," one is A5 size or just a bit
bigger with a Red cover, no dust sleeve and gold lettering.
The other is in a slip case with two volumes A4 or bigger, mine is in a
black case with a Bristol Badge on the front.
