That's all folks!

Thank god we now have the bankers to save us!

We saw one of those at the weekend, in a rather fetching green colour.

Bristol didn't help themselves by being over selective on who they would sell their cars to.

Personally I'd like one of these please...

Quite, and they do hold their value pretty well Bristol Cars Ltd - Used Cars

You can pick up an 8/9 year old second hand fighter for a mere £128,000.
