Where in UK can I hire a Bristol?

I am new to this forum and, at some time in the future, I plan to purchase a Bristol.
But, at present, I'd just like to hire one for a weekend.
Does anyone know where in South East UK I can find a car hire firm offering a Bristol Car?

Very unlikely that anybody would have a car like a Bristol available for hire. They are not that sort of car. You would be best advised to join one of the owners organisations - get to know the people who have Bristols and from there, it's possible that somebody will be happy to give you the experience of driving one.

Unlikely, but still possible...

Don't give up hope...go straight to Richard at BCL, Kensington High Street, phone 020 7603 5555, and ask him if can assist you. Tell him Lou Browning suggested you call! That won't necessarily help you, but at least he and I have not only spoken to one another several times, but have met and chatted.

I'd love to be able to rent one on a visit to Blighty.
