Certainly this is just a financial issue, not a technical one.
As Bristols still have a separate chassis you could ask any qualified designer/coachbuilder to build a unique body around it without compromising the car's qualities.
This is what wealthy buyers did before the 2nd world war. But later these one-off designs became excessively expensive.
Some months ago, I read an interesting report about the unique Rolls-Royce Phantom VI with Frua body made in the early seventies. It's a fascinating car but the first owner paid an incredible amount of money for it in the first place.

Regards,
Markus
