	Motoring - Anyone want to start a Fighter?
		The Fighter, however, is something genuinely new from Bristol, a two-seater, gullwing-doored coupé that's good, Bristol says, for 335km/h, thanks to a carefully designed grille that creates a ram air effect at 320 and gives you the last 15km/h.
		Bristols are never officially released for full road tests; we borrowed this one, the eighth made, for impressions from collector Simon Draper.
		The Fighter is surprisingly light for this kind of car at 1504kg, very high-geared (it does 100km/h in first) and has clearly been styled for aerodynamics rather than for muscle-car appeal: Bristol claims a cD of 0.28.
