Condition
7
The car has been treated to a bare metal repaint. It has covered 115,875 miles. Our vendor acquired the car via Brightwells in 2019 at which point it had been on static display at a Stratstone dealership for the previous five years. He immediately sent it to Bristol Cars in Windlesham for a thorough recommissioning. Although it no longer needs one, it passed an MOT in July 2022 with just a couple of minor advisories (slight oil leak; play in steering column top bearing) and it has been only lightly used since.
