What a great car. It has some resemblance with the Saab 96 from the late sixties, early seventies. Did they copy Bristols sketchbook??

You are correct, they do look similar. I guess there is plenty of copying going on in the car industry, cheers.

Strange looking car. The way how the bonnet opens is quite unusual.

Did you notice the storage compartment under the bonnet in front of the firewall, you can store your spare oil, fire extinguisher and other liquids. I think that's a pretty cool idea, cheers.

Yes I did. I found this feature quite interesting and unusual.
