Spoke with Toby Silverton, Bristol Cars

[Janne]

The telephone box looks more spacious... And faster too!

I have never understood why Bristol sold those. Or, why Zagato made them.

Zele and a matching Fighter, or Cygnet and matching DBS?

[TBC]

as far as i remember, those loveable chaps in the Gulf were complaining about their black gold and how much we were using, so they said we couldn't have any more (or something along those lines); every privately owned luxury car maker immediately went bankrupt, well almost, Aston were left with a shed full of unsold cars. I guess BCL were in the same boat, everyone, well very nearly, said that electricity was the future, so Zagato built the Zele and BCL acted as agents in the UK, at least they had something to sell....

Wouldn't you imagine Tony Crook saw them as an easy way to bring in some cash?

Toby loves driving the Orange Blossom Special around London...zips in and out of traffic, no London entry fee, and can park inside the phone box.

The phone box IS the fastest thing in London; it's fast to the pavement!
