More on ground clearance. I found this brochure for the 411 S1

https://www.veikl.com/d/Bristol-411-...969-EN-46747/7

It states ground clearance 5". I wonder if Bristol lowered the clearance that much v. the clearance quoted for earlier V8s? Especially as the silencers seem to be very vulnerable to grounding going over a hump? Maybe they changed the point of measurement and this brochure measures from ground to bottom of silencers?
