The Bristol Appeal?
My first and only consideration was the fact that they chose Chrysler vee-eight power and automatic transmission. That is what caught my eye when I saw my first 409. The Facel Vega had the same idea on engines.
As to styling, well, it is rather bland. One would walk right by a Bristol and not know what it was. My Aston DB6 was thought to be a customized Mustang. The 'experts' that were examining the car decided since it had two petrol fillers that it could not be a Mustang. I told them it was an Aston-Martin and got blank stares in return.
