Jowett Ute

Thank you - just the thread went off topic so quickly and I'd really appreciate some opinions from people who know Bristols well.

Lovely car - BMW took them over I think, not sure they ever made RHD though.

On the subject of German rareties - perhaps a Bitter CD (again, if I could find one)

The precise mechanism for opening the rear windows is quite low on my list of priorities when choosing a car and probably below colour. Please feel free to suggest cars with any form of window...

Bristol alternatives.

I don't own a Bristol but I've been tempted by them for a long time. I think I have the will power to wait until I find one in the condition I would want, rather than buy one requiring improvement. ...
