Seconded. I think Bristol gained the rights to 'transport' the machinery after the war. At first I thought it was an old Ford or Austin but the V motor and three carburettors was a degree of exoticsm to which they did not rise in Britain.

The last I hear though was that Tony Crook, who owned the car company, had retired but the company was still producing fine, if somewhat dated, cars - a kind of old Cohiba with an armchair and engine aorund it.

 

 

No V engine. It's a line 6.

Thanks Kent. Two cars here, though the second one is just for amusement, but it really drives -- To take control of this thread you have to identify the first car.

Very good, John, the Cisitalia 202 with fully enveloped body my Pininfarina. Only about 170 or so were built, but it changed the direction automobile design. This one is in the MoMA permanent collection, where it has resided since 1951. Here's another shot of it, and over to you.

I thought I recognized that car as I saw the same model recently at Monterey with everyone's favorite cabriolet parked behind it.

OK, everybody. This particular model had a production run of a little over 300 examples. BTW, I may be away from a computer over the next several days, so might be slow in replying. Good luck.
