Hmmm - if I had the money, a 411 S6 for me. Modern mechanics with, to my eyes, the most handsome bodyshape.

That could be an option jimfoz, but I do quite like the style of the Blenheim - it's a handsome car I think.

A good used Blenheim from Bristol Cars direct is difficult to beat
as they mostly seem to have very very low milage and the
depreciation during ownership is negligible if present at all if you
maintain it well. The price seems to be dictated by condition not age.

The series six option is available on the earlier v8s, the 603s and
412s as well so you can have absolutely anything you want, You could
go the whole hog you could buy a Blenheim to drive whilst waiting
for your series 6 car, which a lot of people seem to do.

I bought a 412 factory restoration package (with donor car included)
when I went in to buy a Blenheim. Visiting Kensington is a bit like
being a kid in a sweet shop unfortunately!
