The Car (Bristol 405) In the Movie An Education


I got dragged into seeing An Education, which turned out to be a decent movie. There is buzz that it may win an Oscar. The movie takes place in early 60s London and the centerpiece is a maroon Bristol 405. I am convinced that Bristol has NEVER made a decent looking car. Here is a funny clip of footage in the only Bristol showroom in the world. And yes, that's Rosamund Pike from the Bond film Die Another Day.

IMHO every Bristol is a winner, if you see one you know you have seen a Bristol, that makes for a highly desirable product :-)

That Bristol 405 is absolutely beautiful in that movie. Probably the most beautiful car I have seen in recent years. And the fact that can seat four people is even better. I would give anything to own a Bristol 405 from that time period but I would imagine that they are EXTREMELY expensive! Probably priceless now. And Carey Mulligan is one of the most beautiful women on the planet! Her incredible smile and gorgeous good looks.
