Not sure how many of you may have caught up with the double page piece in 01.12.13 Sunday Times Driving section ?

Nice pic of a Bristol Fighter in bristol red . Dominic Tobin's article lists the Fighter as the rarest (UK ) car of the past decade according to registration data from DVLA. Apparently only 6 of the beasts were registered in Britain from a total of 13 manufactured.

Genenerally positive comments I particularly intrigued by the description supplied by Charles Freimuth who is currently offering a Fighter for sale at
£ 159,500 " buy a Bristol - its got personality..a cross between a Saville Row suit and Monty Python ".

So there you have it :-)

PS not posted link as it seems to freeze..best google SundayTimes and head to Driving section ..hope it works

PPS also refers to website How Many Left which offers way to check DVLA data to see how many cars are remaining for road going cars
