Geoff,
It was Setright's Palawan Press book that got me interested in Bristol cars, in some ways I wish it hadn't, because it has been a huge money sinkhole. Indeed if it wasn't for that book, this web site wouldn't exist.

It was inevitable because that was 48 years ago!
I dare say more Bristols are now being restored and repaired by experts rather than bodged by their owners. Also cars that would have been not deemed worthy of saving are now being bought and restored rather than scrapped. That is the flip side of rising values and people buying them for what they might be worth in the future.
