Putting together and early Bristol
I am in the same situation, and should a car come up without drivetrain, I would be tempted to gather the right stuff first, but would consider the alternative route, always hoping to find the right engine/trans to re-install. Many great and reliable alternatives. What springs to mind is the
Datsun straight sixes and stick or automatic boxes. You are right in your desire to put one back on the road, and I would do the same thing. The toughest part is finding that 'project', but I am sure they are out there. Thus far, I have not found a candidate, and I have been searching for years. I do hope some individual reading this has just the car.
