In one word: understatement

Wearing your fur to the inside not to the outside, so to speak.
In other words, the exact opposite to what you proposed.

Just compare the various Bristol models from the beginning of the company on to their respective contemporaries and you get the answer to your question.
It is certainly not a matter of angular or rounded design or of six cylinder, eight cylinder or whatever engines.

That said, the Fighter suits the marque ethos just perfectly.

Regards,
Markus
