Default Bristol related book - FROM CHAIN DRIVE TO TURBOCHARGER.

AFN were a small car manufacturer and Fritz Fiedler did help them
with the Frazer Nash Le Mans Replica. I recommend that you Read an
account of the 50/51 racing season of these cars by an Irish
Engineer who worked for them at the time. The Bristol Aircraft
Company were making two cars a week at the time, so not much larger
and they were having engine problems that AFN understood at least as
well as they did.

I think the point I'd make is that AFN's history by DSJ is essential
reading if you want accuracy for the early years of the Bristol Car
Company.
