Your derisory summary of what you believe a V8 Bristol is suggests that you maybe not the right person to own a Bristol. I do know at least three museums where Bristols reside but I prefer to see them driven.

This slapped together V8 you describe was an Autocar car of the year when the 411 S1 was released. In fact the 411 S2 on my drive was owned from new by Victor Gauntlett , the owner of Aston Martin cars.

A lot of chassis designs and engine designs continued to evolve over a long long time -- why get rid of something that works well ?

I believe that Bristol cars are very special and are vastly under priced compared to mass produced cars like E- Types and Astons.

It is probably part of the Bristol owners responsibility that the car is passed on to a suitable owner that will love and look after the car and not just buy it to rob the engine for a quick "buck"

I wouldn't sell a Bristol to someone that has your opinions of the Marque. The cars deserve more respect.
