• Wasn't the Bristol owner incredibly choosy about whom he sold the cars to? If he didn't like your face, you weren't getting one. Michael Winner infamously fell foul, finding the showroom door sign was flipped to 'closed' as he approached.

  • Yeah - I remember James May lamenting on Top Gear that he wasn't allowed to test drive one from the showroom because Clarkson had written an unflattering review of the interior trim of one some years previous :)
