To answer you questions about the clubs. The real difference is that BODA in the new club that retains the original ethos of the BOC in that the important thing is that cars are kept on the roads.
The BOC publications are certainly much better than BODA and the BOC is a much older club. I think it fair to say that the BOC seem to feel that "dabbling" in spares is somehow competing with the Bristol Car Company whilst BODA are researching and sourcing spares and indeed have helped the Car Company in this respect. The BOC is a more active club than BODA, as the latter seems to have lost its way a little.
You pays your money and you takes your choice. However, joining both will give you the best of both worlds.
