The Bristol will live in the Museum part of the year.
The car collection there is on a world top level. The owner is a serious collector of Ferraris. Some British cars, Jag D-type amongst them.
Of course the Yellow RR is there, Elton Johns Bentley, etc.
Idi Amin's Mercedes SL. 1885 Benz. Lots and lots of car related stuff. And Motorbikes.
A bit cramped, but the owner is trying to buy the next lot, and double the floor area. He still has 40 + cars stored in Norway and UK.
One of my ex cars is there too, a very rare 1939 MB 230S. And yesterday, I donated my -74 BMW motorbike to the musem. I do not have space, and hate using a bike here.
People here do all sorts of dangerous things behind the wheel. Text, apply the makeup, etc etc

In fact the reason I bought the Bristol is the owner, a friend since a long time. He knows my Bristol very well from UK, he spend many miles in it.
Before X-mas, we talked old cars, what to buy for the Museum (I sit on the Board) and he mentioned that the Island lacks a Bristol, and that I should get one again.
I found Bertie for sale the next day.......

I am sure the Barbados Museum is nice too, but rest assured, not on the same level the one in Cayman.
