...subjectivity is a wonderful if you want to stimulate debate as all will have a view, as demonstrated with colourful regularity on this site.

To be objective is harder, especially if you are not the one actually making the decisions. So here is my stab at subjectivity....

Bristol cars is a tiny company with limited access to modern technology, as opposed to such companies as Aston Martin etc who have access to the technologies of a parent company.

The investment committed to develop the Fighter would indicate that as many components would be carried over including possibly the chassis, suspension and even drive train (the post production supply of parts that companies are required to guarantee will soon expire on the Blenheim power train).

The chassis would be extended to accommodate four occupants, seated at a less rakish angle, with the body work designed to include those touches made famous by Bristol including the spare wheel and battery/brake cylinders placed in the wings. The glass area of the body would be such as to allow the driver a similar panoramic view as in the Blenheim and of course doors that open in the traditional way.

The drive train could be retained if it is possible to have a dual-fuel facility (which would become a standard feature), the LPG tank/s would become an integrated feature as opposed to an add on.

The styling is in many ways dictated by the elements listed above, length, width, height, wheel base are all likely to be similar to the Blenheim as would be the weight. The fighter was styled, so we are told, to be primarily efficient rather than meet any current trend, something that Bristols are renown for, if for no other reason than the models will be in production for decades, as opposed to most mass producers who will re-style/replace their models every five years or so.

The fact that the Fighter doesn't follow fashion doesn't seem to have put buyers off, if anything those that have the means to purchase a vehicle in this price bracket value quality and individuality above current fads, or maybe it is that they can also afford to satisfy their craving for all things 'new' and 'modern' in the other purchases they make.

Bristol make much, as indeed they should, of their aviation roots and this would, for me, be the cue for the styling; aerodynamic but eschewing spoilers etc possibly containing styling features from the Fighter a precedent set with the 404 and 405.
