Bristol fashion

Kate's reference to James Bond and Aston Martins below reminded me of a recent drive past the London showroom of Bristol Cars.

These beautiful cars are hand-built at Filton, near Bristol - and they claim to be the last wholly British-owned luxury car maker.

With no dealers or distributors, the cars are sold direct from their Kensington showroom.

I've never been in one, but would love to have the opportunity at some point.

You'll find plenty of useful information at the Bristol Owners' Club website.
