I must admit that I am concerned that the Heritage Trust archives are now stored for a fee paid by members of the BOC and BODA to this new restoration company.

It also concerns me that they seem to advertise themselves as the new Bristol Manufacturer of the old models when the FN Bristol Cars are still taking orders for S6 models and have a service centre and showroom. I thought the BOC club supported the manufacturer first ? Yet BODA is not supported or advertised ,even when owners are helped with parts and expertise, yet this restoration company is !

The new company have even had photographs taken of cars restored by Bristol Cars to use for advertising !

I would like to know what the storage costs were for the HT archives before they were moved for this £2k / year bargain and if all agree that it is ethical for Mr Lovesey to work for the new company ( as advertised ) that is in competition with the manufacturer we support and to have full access to the archives ?

Although, we have been assured that the archives are secure, it would be very unusual if a landlord doesn't have access to his own property !!

Dinnergate to Archivegate it seems ( maybe a communication problem )

And one or two vested interests ! ? Clarification please

I support FN Bristol Cars LTD

What does the BOC support and are the BOC members financially supporting a business that competes with the manufacturer we support ? Is it fair competition ?
