Bristol Cars is a manufacturer of hand-built luxury cars headquartered in Patchway, near Bristol, United Kingdom. Bristol have always been a low-volume manufacturer; the most recent published official production figures were for 1982, which stated that 104 cars were produced in that year. While no official figures have been produced since then it is believed that in recent years production has been around 20 cars per annum.

Unlike most speciality automakers, Bristol does not court publicity and has only one showroom, located on Kensington High Street in London ( ). Nevertheless the company maintains an enthusiastic and loyal clientele.

The company suspended manufacturing in March 2011, when administrators were appointed and 22 staff were made redundant.

In April 2011, the company was purchased by Kamkorp Autokraft.

Bristol Cars Video

It´s relatively unknown but for the most people at first view a fantastic dreamcar. It seems to be one of the most mysterious cars of the world: The Bristol Fighter is extremly fast, extremely powerful and extremely exspensive but extremly inconspicuous. The waitlist is very long but the richest people like to drive the Bristol Fighter, because of it´s discreetness.

TruFuel Xtreme Sprint Series fast qualifier Brian Gerster driving a Mopar powered winged sprint car #50m with a time of 12.742 seconds and speed of 150.585 mph setting a 1/2 mile closed circuit speed record. This gives Bristol Motor Speedway the distinction of being the worlds fastest 1/2 mile oval race track.. Brian then sat on the pole for the 25-lap A-Main feature leading flag to flag. A gallent effort was waged by season point leader Troy DeCaire driving the # 6 machine who missed qualifying and had to earn a starting spot in the 22-car field. Starting at the back, a brilliant charge forward ran out of time and had to settle for 2nd in the race, but did take home the season championship.
