Spoke with Toby Silverton, Bristol Cars

[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....
