I have just been told on another forum that Bristol Cars has folded. It only needs Morgan to make a pigs breakfast of the new three wheeler to just about end the whole story of British cars.
How the mighty have fallen. Keep those old cars going!!!!

I don't think Morgan will make a mess of it. So long as they do not change anything of the American one, as they have done all the engineering. The thing to do , would be to copy that and make small changes at a later date.
A choice of engines would be good, not every body wants to sit behind a Harley. Just my views.

Hi
Looks like the future could be interesting.

This says Kamkorp is part of the FN group, elsewhere I've seen FN as part of the Kamkorp group

Whichever there is a link back to the start of Bristol cars through the Adlingtons & FN.
