[quote=R As to a new Bristol 6, well, without extensive testing and limited resources to develop a new engine, I would think it would be a gamble at best. Surprisingly, some people are happy with any car that is able to move under it's own power, regardless of the source. As far as originality is concerned, there is nothing original about these cars, and we can thank the Germans for what little the cars have to offer.[/QUOTE]

NUTTER ! Do you really think an engine would be developed by people that don't know what they are doing ? In fact it has certain improvements and everything is interchangeable with the original and is built with modern stronger metals. Mainly developed for race cars that use the Bristol engine and much stronger than the original.

To a certain extent we can thank the Germans but the Germans didn't build any Bristol cars and Bristol made a number of improvements to the point that Bristol engines are sought after by vintage BMW car owners.

I am starting to realise that you know very little about cars, especially Bristols
