Replacement engines for Bristol 6

[Kevin H]

I don't think I could own that car. Can you imagine telling people it has a Nissan engine...

A BMW engine maybe, but nothing else.

Sadly if the cost of restoring a 6 cyl Bristol car exceeds the value of the restored car, then the high value of Bristol engines means that more 6 cyl Bristols are likely to be bought purely for their engine and transmission, which means the cars may ultimately end up on the scrap heap.

Ironic that Bristol's supply of engines and chassis to other manufacturers should result in the destruction of Bristol cars. Maybe Bristol should have listened to Harold Aldington and made sports cars!
