Weasel1984 ◊ 2007-10-24 21:12	That would be nice. Indeed somehow similar: http://auto.howstuffworks.com/bristol-sports-cars3.htm

The Bond has a flat roof (side-to-side), rather upright side windows, a shorter rear window, the rather prominent rear edge and -- most important for me to rule it out -- a rear skirt below the bumper. I think the idea that it is a Bristol 404 (1953-55) is quite convincing. Even the position of the exhaust matches. The 404 is 1,7 metres wide ... now you have to measure double yellow lines, Sunbar! If they end roughly about 40 cm off the kerb it would match.
