This is a history of Britain's rarest car still in production — the Bristol — from its inception in 1946 to the present day. The Bristol car is essentially a bespoke vehicle for the discerning few, built with little or no regard to any of the conventions of modern industry. It has taken every rule that there is in car performance and has broken them all. It has little or no regard to production costs, to popular taste or demand; it is a company that has produced the ultimate in discerning transport for the ultimate in the discerning purchaser. Over the years Bristol have produced a combination of power, speed, performance, handling and luxury. It is a car that belongs to the world of fantasy and dreams, which Bristol have turned into a practical reality, and in spite of the unconventional design and production methods, it has stood the test of forty years of production with little publicity or marketing, and no dealers or hype, and is therefore truly "The Quiet Survivor." The book is written in an easy-to-read non-technical style making it as acceptable to the average reader as it is to the dyed-in-the-wool "buff".
