ellis Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 On the way back from picking parts up, spent a few minutes staring at this..... Not my cup of tea but liked the number plate (assuming he's a doctor!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Black Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 I take it thats a Bristol right? they seem to specialise in making FUGLY Bentley type cars. I bet the owner coughed up for the priviledge of having ugliest vehicle pull up at the hunt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havard Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Looks like a stretched MkII Escort for me..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Looks like a stretched MkII Escort for me..... The MK2 Escort is a classic, these things just look like cheap Chinese fake cars or the kind of kits mentalist wombles build out of all the bits they have gathered from the local scrap yard. £160,000 might buy you exclusivity and quality materials (I hope!) but they are nasty things that stopped design development in the late 70's, not a time remembered for it's classic lines, sticking some 90's rear lights on doesn't help. The Bristol Fighter tried and failed too. If I wanted a car that looked like the front of a Capri welded to the back of a Senator then I'd probably just make one myself, paying Bristol to do it seems a bit silly.

You can buy one hell of a "cut n' shut" for £160K..!! I thought I knew a fair bit about cars but I have never seen one of these on the road. I probably thought it was a MKII Escort.... H.
