Default over 1000 bhp

Anybody driven or even seen a Bristol Fighter, especially the even rarer Bristol Fighter T the twin turbocharged version which produces 1012 bhp and 1036 lb.ft of torque?

And they're still British owned and still in business after 64 years.

I think you'll agree this picture shows a lovely pair of Bristols

Always look out for reviews of them, and invariably they get slated for not having the expected performance for the claimed power or being stodgy on the handling IIRC.

Otherwise you'd expect them to be setting all sorts of acceleration and track records? And if they don't, what is the point in all that power and expense when they look like they do?

I believe/heard that Bristol want to remain almost anonamous/exclusive and so dont let their cars go out for testing...

Their showroom is in kensington iirc?

Why would you even consider buying a car of a company who can't even build a decent website!
