And I didn't mean the question as a criticism ! I probably do more non standard upgrades than most to make a car easier to live with, although I do like to see a nice original car and a Bristol V8 doesn't need much doing to it to make it easy to live with
Maybe just..
sound proofing
intermittent wipers
better gearbox
economy upgrades
modern air con
central locking
A philosophical question was all it was, and as Kevin says, Bristol's have always been upgraded even from new and it doesn't seem to be frowned upon as much as other marques.
I was really just wondering if an original car would command more value in years to come -- probably not !
I would love a modern common rail diesel in a 411 to use as an every day car ! -- I just don't have the know how - yet. Thor on this forum does, so maybe when I have some money spare and the timing is right. ! I just love my Merc 320 CDI's power delivery,economy and reliability -- and that engine is used in some Chryslers ! :-) so almost standard.
