It's rather interesting for me to notice that even with a newly designed car like the Fighter, Bristol keep to their tradition of long wheelbase and relatively small track - in a configuration with very short front overhang and an engine moved back to the centre as much as possible.
This makes the Fighter as well as the Blenheim look a bit disproportionate for today's taste with their long hoods, but this layout is very much in tune with classic designs from the coachbuilt area.

Regards,
Markus
