It went for £16k ! a lot higher than expected.

£15,250 (+ commission) to be precise. I never dreamt it would fetch this much.
If the new owner subscribes to this site, I'd be delighted to provide any information I can regarding the car and I would be interested in following its journey back onto the road.

Congratulations - I hope it hasn't gone to an engine robber !

I'm pleased to say that the new owner has contacted me and we will be keeping in touch.

He reassures me that the car will be restored and the engine will not be going into an Ace or F/N.

As a previous Bristol owner for 13 years, I'm thrilled that the car is going to a good home and I'm sure that he will achieve more than I did with it.
