New Bristol Bullet a £1/4 million BMW V8 styling mess?

[English68]

The Bullet pays homage to the 405 drop-head coupe.

No beauty in its day but suddenly really quite handsome!

Here's a link to a picture:

PS The Project Warwick BMW looks smart - Austin Healey Z4!

it was what it was based on- I believe BMW still hold the marque.

The Bristol its an homage to is so much nicer

Not that I'm a fan of bodykits, but that would make a great bodykit for a z4. (obviously expensive because new headlights etc)

Quote: "The Bullet’s styling, unquestionably, is sure to divide. In some respects, you might argue that it perfectly captures the essence of Bristols made in the ’70s and ’80s – by looking like an undesirable and incoherent mess. Then again, from some angles, there is undeniable charm".

Can't argue with that, any takers for a £250k BMW v8 Bristol or a Z8 I suppose?

It looks like a crap kit car
