I simply cannot believe anyone would seriously consider putting a diesel engine in a Bristol. I don't think too many of us would want to corrupt a car such as this with the idea that it would make it more 'economical' to drive.
There are so many cheaper, lesser cars out there that get great fuel mileage. I would sacrifice a few other of life's necessities than butcher a Bristol.
Those of us who have longed for one of these cars for so many years are hardly the ones who don't think they can afford fuel to drive them on occasion. This has to be the most bizzare post I have read on this site.
