Greg,

Thanks for that info. I've sent him an email, so will keep you informed.

I joined the new Bristol Owners Club in 1964 when it was part of the BMW Club,
With your experience, it would be very useful to know what the original sentiments were about the Bristol, when they didn't have the heritage or history as a car maker, and why people bought Bristol's ?

Also how did the other members of the BMW club view the Bristol owners ? as cousins or interlopers ?

thanks.
