Colin, WOW, what can I say ? For that young lady to invite you and Sheldon to her place and film and post on your social media platforms is just amazing and very thoughtful of her. I am 64 and from the U.S and am just amazed at the knowledge that you and Sheldon have for the classic British Motor industry. I also follow Sheldon on his website. You two literally amaze me. But to think about it that is the way I have always been with the classic U.S car industry. I want to thank you for another amazing video and I’m very happy that I’m a subscriber to you and Sheldon’s websites, so I guess as they would say over there is, carry on Lads, onward and upwards. Thanks again, Dave from the U.S.A 🇺🇸
Thank you for showing all these cars My dad Kevin Freeman a Dublin man used to work in the factory that built these cars!! He was always telling us about them. He would have loved to have seen all the cars again. Unfortunately he passed away in 2019. He was a Dublin man but moved just outside Mullingar in Westmeath when he married my mother Thanks again guys
On the basis they produced an estimated 100 cars per year or so, this must be the biggest private Bristol collections anywhere. This is a really great video and just another reason (if one were needed) to watch your channel. Brilliant TBE, you’ve excelled yourself….again
Wonderful to see this place is still pretty much the same as it was when I fist happened upon it over 50 years ago, back when I was a car obsessed schoolboy. I never got to meet Brians daughter over my many subsiquent visits, but am glad that she has kept her dads legacy intact.
Thanks to the owner and thanks to you for showing us , what a treat! And that woman has so much knowledge!. Wouldnt it be great if owners of other collections out there would allow you to film
What an awesome place. The Bristol is such a quality car, so many to. A great Vlog i can imagine the excitment finding this place. So many projects to be fin.
Big thank you colin n sheldon,what beautiful cars the Bristol's are.you both have great knowledge of classics.love your vids they are brilliant.👍👍👍🚘🚖👏👏
These are my favorite videos you do. I love seeing all these cars. Being from the states I haven't heard of some of these rare cars you find. These Bristols are amazing. I love how they have such smooth body lines. Amazing finding these. Thanks for posting.
Fantastic watch Colin never heard of Bristol cars but thank you for introducing them to me absolutely majestic cars cheers look forward to the next video
OMG this is orgasmic. Thanks for sharing this, imagine what Mr Pritchard and Mr Townsend would think of this lot. Thank you thank you you've made my day
What a superb collection of rare bristols and parts absolutely amazing explore evertime you do an explore i get blown away with your finds and ever more amazing explores .
What an incredible collection of cars. Wow! They are so beautiful. Really nice to see them not rotting outside. Omg!craziness here. I prefer Jaguars. Nice looking dog there. Awesome.
Hi from durham colin 👋 and crew today👋 hope you all ok and what a start that fiesta cube on way in 👍 and 406 is my fave cos more parts for it👍😍 the way the doors shut on older cars I could listen to that all day (i probs burn latch out of handle)😬 that commer needs saving👍 it looks great inside too! MY GOD THAT FIRST HIDE😍😍😍 but super leggerra oooOooo💓😍💓😍 maa'an 2nd hide 403 am speachless now al shutup a cant say anything more to say the feeling of viewing these beauts apart I want that bedford van 💓😍💓😍💓 thank for this guys thanks for your time and be safe see you soon👍💓😍😍💓👋 and SPECIAL THANKS TO FIONA (OWNER) for her time and memories and history 💓
@@classic_britain Ah, l see. I misunderstood; l thought you meant he was an ex-employee. It all depends on whether he came to us for work to be done or did it himself. If he did it himself, our storeman would definitely have known him. 😊
Anyone who is remotely interested in the Bristol Marque knows who Brian May was. The Bristol community lost a truly dedicated member when he passed away. It is good to see that his daughter is holding the fort for him and looking after the treasure trove of Bristol inventory which Brian built up over many years. R.I.P. Brian. I, as a lifelong Bristol enthusiast (but unfortunately too impecunious to actually own one) am appreciative of his love of all things Bristol.
I drove that mk2 fiesta van from Cornwall to take Sheldon there and see this wonderful collection. The bristols are incredible, and well done for such an amazing video and it was a privilege to meet you Colin! Hopefully me and Sheldon will see you again soon for another collaboration!
I thought the Bristol's were stunning but boy, I loved that Commer truck, that was my favourite. So nice to have your mate along with his Bristol knowledge, not that yours wasn't bad. Great film, lovely collection, I hope they end up with people who will restore them.
This must be the biggest collection of Bristol cars in existence now. What an incredible collection of these rare cars. Your videos get more and more interesting. The old Commer camper van is a real rare classic. That is a very desirable vehicle. Nice to see Sheldon with you. I’m also subscribed to his channel. A fascinating explore.
What a fantastic video. I'm sure this place was on TV years ago, the Bristol/polytunnel greenhouse is familiar? Maybe an old Top Gear? I remember passing the old Bristol showroom going into London. Loads of pure gold that desperately needs rescuing, good luck to Fiona in selling it.
Wow best you tube video I've seen and I've seen a though I love bristol cars when my uncle had a 405 he sold it when he when bankrupt unfortunately when I'd saved up for a long time but only had 20k of the 35k he needed
I wasn't quite sure what to expect when that lady said... do you want to see some Bristols. Then someone said that unmolested Bristols are very rare. I am still smiling now.
Thanks some unbelievable truly awesome Bristol cars ,I remember watching salvage squad repairing a Bristol car for someone turning it from blue to silver original ..so hand built and super rare ....cheers really cool video ...Colin ...
Hi Colin how are you? That was one very cool video. Those cars are beautiful. Have you ever come across any Lloyd Arabella's or Lloyd Arabella Deluxe's at all? They are very cool cars. Two of my Uncle's have Lloyd Arabella's. Stay safe and take care.
Very nice indeed enjoyed it and I always wonder how people get so many cars most ive ever had was a series 3 jaguar xj6 1986 and a 1983 Granada mk3,and Kawasaki gpz750r, loved all of them, and thought fiona was worth looking at also 🤣🤣
when i was 11 my uncle derek avery had a bristol 401 that is whyi was a mechanc for 48 years he ived in failand it was such a fabulous car in british racing green
Wow what sn amazing collection of handcrafted cars the skills involved in their unique builds is exceptional. Just a comment and maybe others won't agree but for me your music'd video previews spoil the experience of your excellent finds, would much rather enjoy the finds as if l was there with you in real time. Just my view. Keep up with the finds though.
What is the haunting music you use all the different tunes i like the haunting music you use what's the name of them and where could i get a copy of all the different tunes you use? Thanks
I sold Brian 2 .405 cars .and a burned out beaufighter The young lady worked for the customs of I remeber right. RIP Brian a very nice man .and my car is still there
I met Brian in the 80's at a summer VSCC hillclimb at Prescott, and was impressed with his knowledge of Bristol Cars. He was a very nice chap. TRIVIA: The late Clarissa Dickson Wright of Two Fat Ladies fame was a passenger in one of the Bristol V8 models that her mother was driving. They were pulled over by the police who said the car was going too fast. Her mother said to the police, Yes! it's a Bristol, would you like to see the engine?
I like it when you meet a young lady, and she asks: "Would you like to see the Bristols?".
It saves so much time.
Hahaha 🤣

Wow , lovely cars ,had a little laugh at the start when the lady said who wants to see some bristols
Wow best you tube video I've seen and I've seen a though I love bristol cars when my uncle had a 405 he sold it when he when bankrupt unfortunately when I'd saved up for a long time but only had 20k of the 35k he needed
Wow Dude great video, you do come across some real gold mines.
That was your best yet, it would be the Bedford truck for me though
Superb!! Super rare! But I'd still take the Commer Camper home first 🖖🚗❤️
Great vid would be lovely to see some ot those back on the road
Absolutely gorgeous. Any updates on the works in progress? I have a history with Bristol cars and want to see every one that can be saved...done so!
All will be restored. Some are running
Great video colin 👍
Honestly I’d take the Bedford home that is gorgeous!!!
Fantastic 👌
I wasn't quite sure what to expect when that lady said... do you want to see some Bristols. Then someone said that unmolested Bristols are very rare. I am still smiling now.
As am I 😁😁
Cool video 🔥
I enjoyed that. Many thanks!
He wasn't interested in the V8 Bristols, was he?
No only 2.0s really but he did have a V8 one a 411 I think but it was sold
Thanks some unbelievable truly awesome Bristol cars ,I remember watching salvage squad repairing a Bristol car for someone turning it from blue to silver original ..so hand built and super rare ....cheers really cool video ...Colin ...

Hi Colin how are you?
That was one very cool video.
Those cars are beautiful.
Have you ever come across any Lloyd Arabella's or Lloyd Arabella Deluxe's at all? They are very cool cars. Two of my Uncle's have Lloyd Arabella's.
Stay safe and take care.
You mention the smell...
John Patten wrote a piece for The Spectator titled "The Smell of Old Bristols".
Very nice indeed enjoyed it and I always wonder how people get so many cars most ive ever had was a series 3 jaguar xj6 1986 and a 1983 Granada mk3,and Kawasaki gpz750r, loved all of them, and thought fiona was worth looking at also 🤣🤣
Granada mk2 that should be
when i was 11 my uncle derek avery had a bristol 401 that is whyi was a mechanc for 48 years he ived in failand it was such a fabulous car in british racing green
Thank you for this! Bristol car showroom in Knightsbridge if you are interested.
I sell my art thru a company in Bristol! Hope you’re well, Colin!
Wow what sn amazing collection of handcrafted cars the skills involved in their unique builds is exceptional.
Just a comment and maybe others won't agree but for me your music'd video previews spoil the experience of your excellent finds, would much rather enjoy the finds as if l was there with you in real time. Just my view. Keep up with the finds though.
@34.45, Bedford 'A' Type
What is the haunting music you use all the different tunes i like the haunting music you use what's the name of them and where could i get a copy of all the different tunes you use? Thanks
@13.57, Steph from i drive a classic did a review on one of these campers, did you know the handbrake is on the front wheels!
Yes they are strange old cars!
very very nice
Bristol's and some of the Alvis range cars share very similar styles..
Close your eyes and blink And Alvis spring to mind.
Bristol 407 coupe
I agree I have an Alvis TD21 and there are lots of similar parts seats and roof line
I sold Brian 2 .405 cars .and a burned out beaufighter
The young lady worked for the customs of I remeber right. RIP Brian a very nice man .and my car is still there
I suspect that stripped chassis in the field could be a Beaufighter, or possibly a Britannia.
If you could drop a 403 body On a modern chassis for a restomod. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I've never seen mk 2 fiesta van being left hand drive I surpose they never came to the UK but still arare thing.giid vid to come I imagine bro.
Full video on my channel soon

Couldn't afford a Bristol , but I'd take that Spitfire any day of the week
Did you see that Triumph Spitfire 🥰🇬🇧
Amazing collection. I hope the lady can move those cars on to people that will restore them. Sad if they just sit there and rot.
That is the plan 😁
