I think it's all down to personal taste. Whilst i like the Blenheim 3, i do
think it's time for a more radical makeover since it is starting to age
quite heavily now. A smaller window area would help with this, added to a
less severe nose. Though i think the former would require an all new body
design. Easy to say of course when i'm not the one paying for the
development costs.

Andrew, I am very happy for Richard...it's what he wanted and it is just wonderful that he is pleased with it.

As a very recent newby to Bristols, the thing that attracted me to the 603 and its derivatives was that B had not gone to the ubiquitous wedge shape one sees everywhere. Will they someday? Who knows. Also, since only Bristols that are at least 25 years old can come into the US, I really didn't have much choice.

Many of today's redesigns in the industry are, to me, bulbous. See Chrysler and Bentley, to mention only two. I can't accept these as possessing classic styling.

These things are totally subjective, of course, and can not be any other way.

As we age, I believe it is normal for many of us to revert to the things we liked from yesteryear. As I will turn 77 in a few weeks, I definitely fall into that camp!

The greatest thing is that Bristol and Toby S. are trying to respond to their customer base.
