Top speed 94 mph (152 km/h) Bristol Aeroplanes entered the car market with a repackaged prewar BMW design, brought back to the UK as “war reparations.” The efficient engine design gave it good performance and Bristol’s standards of construction—based on aircraft engineering practice—were second to none."
That is a wonderful car, had not heard about it or seen the photos, lovely.
Reminds me of a Bugatti, although smaller and more affordable.
