I lived in UK, bought a Bristol that had lived there all it's life.
But it had had owners that wax oiled the underside.....
UK had some nasty flooding last year (I think, do not live there anymore).
This car's underside looks like it has been exposed to excessive amounts of water.
If the suspention looks like this, how are the underpan and wheel arches??
OP, if with patina you mean rust and oxidation, that is a sure way to destroy it.
A Bristol was/is far more expensive, better engineered and built than a Jag pre-Ford. Of course we try to get them perfect!
If I may recommend, look through the photograps on this Forum.
Ownership of a Bristol can be expensive. Not for somebody with a small budget, trust me. I spent between UKP 40K to 50K on mine, and never did the interior (next owner did that, I will see the end result when the car arrives next week)
