Does anyone know what car Inspector Lynley Drives in TV Program that is currently being shown on BBC John (j@ntlworld.com) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying > Does anyone know what car Inspector Lynley Drives in TV Program that > is currently being shown on BBC I seem to recall a Jensen Interceptor (or an FF?) from the last series, but two seconds on google suggests he's in a Bristol 408 for this series. http://www.no-name-garage.co.uk/existing/bristol%20408.html > John (j@ntlworld.com) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were > saying [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > http://www.no-name-garage.co.uk/existing/bristol%20408.html It is definitely a Bristol, dont know model though.

Too small and square to be aJjag, too large to be a Gordon Keeble, but I could just see a round badge on the bonnet, and too modern to be an Alvis. Kept thinking it was a Bristol of somekind. I like his missuses Saab 9k Thanks  SignatureThe poster formerly known as Skodapilot. http://www.bouncing-czechs.com > Kept thinking what the hell it is.

Some cars have great stature, but are relatively small, some appear to be small, but are infact massive. Quite often 2 and 4 doors of the same car look different. I imagine that Linley's Bristol is slightly smaller (only slightly smaller mind) than an XJ Coupe, which is the same size as an XJ saloon (total length), but looks smaller thanks to the shorter two door cabin. As I said some cars are deceptively large for thier actuall size, and Vice Versa. SignatureCarl Robson (The poster formerly known as Skodapilot) http://www.bouncing-czechs.com >> Small??

Nope, it'll be bigger than an XJ. It's got a 6-odd litre Chrysler v8 in it... For a bit of scale, there's flaps behind each front wheelarch, in front of the door pillar. One side contains the battery, the other the spare wheel.

Really, even with the 6 litre I would have imagined that it was smaller than an XJ, so that it would give a huge power to weight ratio. > For a bit of scale, there's flaps behind each front wheelarch, in front of > the door pillar. One side contains the battery, the other the spare wheel. I saw that on the Home and Leisure show where they rebuilt one. Looked absolutley fantastic. Somehow I think they might remain outside my price range for a while but I would seriously love either a Bristol or Gordon Keeble in mint condition as an everyday car (don't want much do I).
