I'm a classic car enthusiast and I thought Bristol had gone bust... Until I heard about them going bust... :lol:
I bet 90% of the country don't even know Bristol ever existed, let alone that is was in operation fairly recently!
A lot of people I know have essentially been taught if its not from Germany or Japan its not worth having, being proud of Britain or anything it has ever achieved is almost taboo now-a-days.
Most car people would only know Saleen as a tuner of Mustangs anyway, and most people here go German or Japanese by default, so you're exactly on the dot about what Saleen is here, a local niche within a local niche.
