via Bristol Cars: I want one because they’re willfully ugly and anachronistic. The company has no dealers. They sell direct to clients - and only the clients they like the look of. I don’t know of any footballers who’re allowed one. I dream of owning and running a business like this. (But I guess I’ll lose loads of money.) Via Wikipedia: Bristol Cars is a manufacturer of hand-built luxury cars, based at Filton near Bristol, England. Bristol Cars has no distributors or dealers and deals directly with customers; they have a showroom in Kensington in London. They claim to be the last wholly British-owned luxury car builder. The cars have never been made in large quantities. The most recent published official production figures were for 1982 and stated 104 cars were produced that year, though the present owner Toby Silverton has repeatedly stated in the media that the company produces on average about 150 cars a year. Unlike most specialty automakers, Bristol does not court publicity, and has only one showroom, located at 368–370 Kensington High Street in London. Nevertheless the company maintains an enthusiastic and loyal clientele.
