Thank you, it does look rather neglected. However, being a Jaguar enthousiast and former owner of a Rover P6, I've seen much worse and wouldn't be put off by that by itself. But considering the amount of Bristols made, I would imagine that the community knows a lot about a lot of cars about. I'm intersted in the history of the car and I'm always a bit worried when a car has been off the road for such a long time. I prefer a car that has seen daily use, of high mileage with some maintenance over a car that has been standing for over 6 years. An XJ 12 would recquire more than a thousand pounds just to recommission and make it stop leaking if left inactive for such a time....
You're right about having to have a good look and preferably a drive, but me being in the Netherlands and this being an ebay auction, I'm affraid that's not feasible.
