Bristol alternatives.

[Richard Levine]

True the rear side windows even in a Blenheim, cannot be opened without
either being sat in the back seat or stopping the car and climbing past a
tilted-forward front seat to unclip the window fastener. (Same again to
close.) Not ideal, but if modern conveniences are essential then a Bristol
would not be on one's short-list.


How many more postings on this subject can everyone else take? I'm near
exhausted with it!!

Can we please end it now?

Back to mainstream "Bristolling"........ People often ask me why I
choose to drive a Bristol? What is it about Bristols that attracts me? I
reply that they are made by a team of craftsmen trained in aircraft
manufacturing skills. I point to the dash and especially the instrument pod,
housing all the dials and I ask of them "Can you not picture Biggles sat
behind this wheel?" Those of them over 50 understand immediately!

What about everyone else? How do you explain to friends and family the love
of a marque that doesn't conform?
