Al, I agree that the Bristol offerings of the last 50 years have, generally, been unattractive, but yes the early ones, the 400, 401, 403, 404 and more contentiously the 405 were, to my eyes, anyway, pretty attractive cars. They managed to sell the later recent cars on build quality, exclusivity and customer loyalty. I would guess that had the cars been physically more attractive, they would have sold more, so I think your point is well made!
