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.

Wow . Lovely. Such a privilege to be shown around by the the owners and to hear some of the history. Thanks to all

Brilliant... wonderful to see and hear the history behind this collection. Thanks for sharing this..

Absolutely WOW. Totally staggering. Bristol heaven is here. 👍👍👍👍

Amazing place! Lovely collaboration, what a stunning find 😍

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.

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.👍👍👍🚘🚖👏👏

Wow ! ! Thankyou Colin and Sheldon 👏🏻 A real pleasure to see all those british beauties from the good ole days 😊🍻👍🏻

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

Great video Colin, thanks for the content. Such a shame the cars are not being completed. They deserve to be .

I like it when you meet a young lady, and she asks: "Would you like to see the Bristols?". It saves so much time.

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.

AS USUALY, ALWAYS, A GREAT WORK, AND 4EVER A GREAT CHANEL.👍👍👍👍

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.

Last! Yay excited for another video keep up the great content

people want anothertop gear and guys like you are leading the way..well done

My father rallied PRA 377 (at 12.30) back in 1956 - I've always wondered what had happened to the car!

Another great video as always plus it was nice to say hello to you at silverlake scrap yard

Great vid would be lovely to see some ot those back on the road

Some of those cars were so awesome with their curvy backs!Loved the Camper van.I dont think Ive ever seen a Bristol before in real life.x

Jaws and his knowledgeable sidekick on tour… nice to see a 1 of 1 car. Very nice

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.

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.

All cars and parts going to auction at Brightwells 12/13 April

Wow Dude great video, you do come across some real gold mines.

great - wahnsinn - such rare cars

Fantastic 👌

Great video colin 👍

Some pretty nice machines. That bright red job looks really nice. Wouldn't mind having that babee.

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.

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?

awesome cars

Very cool

You mention the smell... John Patten wrote a piece for The Spectator titled "The Smell of Old Bristols".

@27.00, some boxes have got overdrive on them

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!

I suspect that stripped chassis in the field could be a Beaufighter, or possibly a Britannia.

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.

very very nice

I sell my art thru a company in Bristol! Hope you’re well, Colin!

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 🤣🤣
