A "one-off" Blenheim 4, seen at the AGM

[406Special]

Interesting comparison between the latest and previous or older
Blenheim. The older one shown is an LPG version. The new car has
two bulges running down either side of top of the roof indicating a
seam that is otherwise not apparent on previous Bristols of any age
or model. The roof is curved more on either side, as is the higher
rear boot line. The rear light cluster is new (what car are they
from?) and the boot lid is less cluttered and more curved as well,
complete with the colour coded bumpers and modern rear parking assist
devices embedded.

Can you provide a link? I do not find a photo album section on the BOC
site.
Thanks,

The link to the photos is as follows, but will need your BOC web
login to access.

The rear lights are from a 1990's Audi A4 Avant (estate).

I have added a further album with the 2 models side by side.
The roof bumps are a treatment similar to that on many mainstream cars, where roof rack fittings are mounted, and has been done to remove the over door guttering.
Both cars are gas powered and the lining of the boot lid also incorporates a fastening for 2 BOC umbrellas (not shown opn the photos)
