Not sure quite what that one in the 1st pic is, but it doesn't look much like my 406. The one marked as a 405 does. SR100 is correct, the v8's...
I think it's the wrong word anyway..gaudy would be better.
Back in the day you bought a Bristol if you thought an Aston too gauche. They were great competitors, which is one of the reasons Bristol went and...
