Bristol minus Chrysler
Bristol production is so tiny that there should not be a problem in sourcing drive trains etc. When MG-Rover went under (I believe JCB?) bought the spares business guaranteeing supply for at least ten years so if Chrysler went under I would foreseeing a similar situation occurring. Making 3 or 4 Blenheims a year won't tax Chryslers supply of engines (they haven't made the Blenheim engine for a few years now, last used in a Jeep - I think).
I read somewhere (a couple of years ago) that the replacement for the Blenheim will use Mercedes drive trains.
