one class for all models of Bristol cars, being just a first second and
third ect.
Well i guess if they shared a club, then its seems fairly clear that both BMW and Bristol owners at that time, accepted the shared ancestory.

If this is the case, then perhaps the case for judicious use of BMW parts is stronger, and doesn't dilute the character / heritage etc.
