QUOTE -
Which did I find the 'best' car? Well, that would depend upon which criterion I had in mind at the time. I have to say that the one I found the most relaxing to drive (and could do such things as drive up from Dartmoor to London, cope with a day's work, then return in the evening and feel like going out to socialize) was the first 408. It just seemed to get on with the job, allow one to drive at an adequate speed.

Thanks GEO - exactly the sort of comparison over a long period of time I was thinking off. It's not just me then. My 408 does seem a bit special to others too. I think the awareness and sporting links does explain the values. I wonder just how different that would have been if Bond had driven a Bristol as Flemming originally wrote.

It seems all I need now is a "Mac" and all will be well
