Not quite sure how you turn a "BMW 328 body" into a 400 convertible, or am I missing something?

You are missing the word "special" -- it seem when you add the word special to Bristol it can be any shape you like.

Also the 400 and 328 had a lot in common to say the least and it would be one way of using up a Bristol chassis and other parts that some dealer had robbed the engine from !

Do they really look so different ? It's plastic and can be altered !

If anyone was really interested, the guy that owns the mould will alter the body shape closer to the 400 shape.

I think that when they start copying cars, the originals go up in value ?
