The traditional Bristol product is a large two door four seater saloon/coupe with a large displacement engine. Sounds familiar?

if we don't limit ourselves to 2 doors as indeed the testers didn't then we have:

Mercedes-Benz CL
Rolls-Royce Ghost
Aston Martin Rapide
Porsche Panamera

then there is the:

Bentley Mulsanne
Ferrari 612/FF
Jensen Interceptor R
Jaguar XKR
Maserati GranTurismo

the above list might also include the new Morgan Eva GT (not sure of the interior space) and, if Audi give the go ahead, the Lamborghini Estoque.

Not the shortest list in the world, and had BCL updated the Blenheim, I seem to recall someone mentioning plans for a new 4-seater with irs, then all could be considered competition, albeit across a fairly wide price spectrum.
