Thanks Geoff, an interesting topic. I have been a Bristol owner for 47 years and have always been amazed that Bristol's have never been really collectible and the values have only gone up a little in relative terms.

However, over the last few years there has been a surge in prices, so they are catching up. In the end no doubt the genuine Bristol enthusiasts will be unable to buy as those with more money than sense will hop on the Bristol bandwagon.

My own reasonable 401 is now insured for a guaranteed £45,000 but it wouldn't matter if it was worth 10 times that as only the Grim Reaper and ill health will get me to part with my 401. Incidentally, my first 401 in 1968 costs me £225, at a time when a new cylinder head complete with running gear was just £89.50! I wish!!!!!
