To be honest, and I realize that this point of view might be controversial. But I feel that a Bristol can and may have some "patina". Contrary to my Jaguar, which should look flawless as not to be viewed like a bookie's or a boy racer, any Bristol (again, my opinion only) doesn't need to be flawless.

Edit: Obviously, any car of mine is well maintained and serviced. And in my decision whether or not to buy any motor, the first question I ask myself is if I can afford to have it maintained properly. If the answer is no, I will not buy it. As I'm not as affluent as most of the Bristol crowd, this might mean it will take a while before I'll become an owner. But I will, eventually.
