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.
