Stepping in where I don't belong here, but please don't send any photos over
the IML. Send them directly to the person you want to get them to, not to
the whole list. Some of us live way out in the boonies with VERY S L O W
connections - when someone sends out a photo, it ties up my phone line for
an hour!

Hi Neil Thorpe.
Is it possible that you could send photos of that car ( Bristol 409 ) over
the mailing list?

Welcome Ian,
You will find the lists owners and cars are a huge melting pot from all
walks and all parts of the atlas.
The engine in your Bristol matches those in the 80's imps but your car
matches more of the Jensen style, if you attend any of the Uk Chrysler shows
you will find Imperials and lesser Chrysler models as well as Bristol and
Jensen's as well.
Neil, 82 Imperial, Middlesex, England.
