Default Finding an older Bristol, sans drivetrain

Now, that is a real puzzler, but perhaps the buyer is planning a 'hybird' project with one of the most rare pieces of automotive history to be found. Bristols, like Aston Martins are rare and unique examples, and most of us would just like to own one for the sake of owning one. Why anyone would want to drastically alter one is a mystery. Now, if they are sitting on an engine and transmission for that vintage Bristol, I could understand the desire to find a suitable car. Some of the older cars have been robbed (raped) or their drivetrains for use in specials and Arnolt Bristols, even AC cars.
