That was a detailed response.

I’m afraid that i can’t really comment upon the singularity of various individuals, since i really don’t know what they did etc that made them so singular.

I found your comments about the fraternity of Bristol owners to be very illuminating. Especially your observation (hypothesis maybe ?) that there is more freedom in Bristol ownership about making changes / tailoring the car to one’s own needs, and those choices then being embraced or at least not shunned.

My own personal preference is to see if a BMW engine & box can be fitted into the car, because of BMW having a strong DNA link to the Bristol 403.

Cheers
Hal
