mounted on the Sunbeam. Each side of the huge Lucas headlamp I had those small bullett Lucas
chromed side lamps, apparently the same on late Bristols 403. So my bike was
known as “The Christmastree”.</span><br />

<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">One by one, all of them dropped off, and at the

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">So, my friend Mario B. da Palma (nothing to do
with Brian de Palma), and I, in September we were on the move, heading from Lisbon to the North of
Portugal. </span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">My daughter lives in Braga,

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">In the middle of the afternoon, while cruising
happily at around 130 KPH on a motorway, thanks to an extra overdrive, we
suddenly got seized due to what apparently was a broken differential. </span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">We were
in the middle of nowhere: Camarzana de la Tera, in the Zamora
province of northern Spain…
Assistance was called from ACP, the Portuguese equivalent to the AA, and the
car was towed to a local garage. We took a taxi to Santander. Everything was pre-paid: hotels,
bookings, ferries, etc., and we decided not to miss the Bristols meeting. So,
we rented a Seat Cordoba, and followed our trip. While changing all our stuff
into the taxi, our tuxedos remained forgotten hanging on a shelf from the
workshop, together with the Bristol.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Next day, when we were entering the ferry at
Santander, driving our rented Seat, I managed to call the workshop in Spain,
confirming we had left our tuxedos there, and after a few more phone calls, I
managed to get some kind of UPS firm to get our tuxedos there and delivering
them at Filton Holiday Inn. But then I had to convince the Spanish workshop
people to pack our tuxedos properly inside a box…</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Meanwhile, my mobile phone rang, and it was ACP
letting me know the car should be ready next day, for the problem was only a
broken bearing on the rear half shaft. Would you believe?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">I called my friends back home on the ACP, and
once I worked there long ago, asked to o former colleague if he wanted to pick
the car for me, and drive it to the meeting via the Plymouth ferry. Filipe Gaivão instantly agreed
to bring me the car to the UK.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Once aboard the ferry, everything was settled,
and we enjoyed the voyage, without mobile phone connection during some 24
hours.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">So we followed our trip, and had a wonderful
time in the UK.
First day we visited Bealieu and the National
Motor Museum,
and the Sammy Miller Motorcycle
Museum, not far from Beaulieu.
Next day we went Salisbury, visited Stonehenge,
and a Military Aircraft Museum
nearby. In the afternoon we visited the British Motor Heritage Trust at Gaydon,
and headed far to the Midlands, towards to the
Red Triangle at Kenilworth-Birmingham area. I wanted to discuss with Richard
Joyce the new camshafts they were selling for the old Alvis Speed Twenty, and
fortunately we managed to get in time, for they waited for us.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">That evening we arrived at the Holiday
Inn-Filton.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Next morning we went to visit the seaside, and
when we had a coffee at an Italian Restaurant, the owner asked: “Where are you
from, guys?” We answered: ”Portugal,
ever heard of? And you?” He said : “Italy,
Napoli, do you know?”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I said: “Of course, RENATO CAROSONE: HEY
MAMBO, MAMBO ITALIANO!...” I must say the restaurant owner jumped into the air,
and started to sing all Renato Carosone songs, turned on his MP3 and plugged it
into the sound system, while dancing and slapping his employees on the back of
their heads. This scenario was absolutely surrealistic, and we laughed while
watching all this scene. Fortunately Mario had his camcorder with him, and
filmed lots of this. We laughed till we cried.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">We followed to Cheddar Gorge and there was our
meeting point with Filipe Gaivão, driving my 403. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">We went to have lunch at Bath, visited the roman baths, and at the
evening we were at the hotel, for joining everybody for dinner.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">A small misunderstood with our tuxedos made us
late for the bus, for we were expecting to take a taxi for the dinner at the Town
hall. When we finally entered the bus, wearing our tuxedos, the bus was waiting
for us for quite a long time. Fortunately people there were kind enough not to
crucify us.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">The dinner was fantastic, for I had the chance
to meet many Bristoleers, like Jaap Koopmans from the Netherlands, the one who
pointed me the 403 for me to buy, as well as Geoffrey Hawkins and Marc
Atkinson, and I was lucky enough to have dinner next to Andrew Blow, who had to
be listening to me most of the time… And of course, Teb Marius, the promoter.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">The balloons and whistles on the dinner table,
although it may seem a little out of context, made everybody smile and joke,
braking the initial ice, for there was lots of people who just didn’t knew each
other.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Saturday at Filton was great. Once again we had
the chance to meet lots of Bristol
people and the most of all was to be among so many rare Bristols all at once.
All the aircraft circus whas pure delight. I met also a very nice couple, David
Lewis and his lovely wife, who turned out to be previous owners of my Bristol back in 1969.
They told me lots of stories on the car, and even sended me pictures of the car
by then. It was black with dark red hide.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Sunday we drove Filipe Gaivão to the London Airport
on our way to Goodwod, where the Bristol Owners Club had a special park.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">But soon as we started to move, a terrifying
slippery clutch was dooming our return home. Filipe took place with in the
rented Seat Cordoba, while I was driving slowly to meet Mario near Heathrow. So
we did, and when we were getting closer to Goodwood, the clutch was slipping to
a very dangerous level.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">I could not get any help from all the
bristoleers around there, for they just didn’t knew me at all.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Fortunately, José M. Albuquerque, the owner of
the Frazer Nash Fast Tourer who quit the Portuguese Invasion, was racing his
Ferrari SWB at Goodwood. So, I went to meet him, and told him about my problems
with the clutch. It was Sunday, and we had to catch the ferry at Santander Tuesday
morning.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">He asked his mechanic to give me a hand. His
mechanic in the UK
owns The Red Lion Garage at Thursley, his name is Simon Blake, and he promptly
offered himself to help me with the car.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">I tried to call people from BOC in order to
know about parts suppliers on that area. Fortunately I managed to reach Mike
Robinson, who had made the overdrive conversion on my Bristol, once the engine on my car has been
replaced by a 405 engine.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">He told me the clutch plate and disk were from
Triumph Vitesse and MGB, I put hm in contact with Simon Blake, and a supplier
has been found a couple of miles from Red Lion Garage in Thursley. I must say Thursley
is a lovely spot among a dense forest in the middle of nowhere.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">So I drove my Bristol over the edge of the limit of the
clutch, at night, up and down the hill, with lots of traffic. At a certain
point I was not using the clutch any longer, thanks to my long old experience
driving with double declutching with my old crash box VW.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">I left him the car Sunday night, putting the
car keys in his mailbox. Next day at 19:00 the car was ready, with the eys
hiding over the front tyre.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">The whole Monday we visited Bex on Sea, where
Mario’s cousin lives his retirement. He is retired from finance business, and
he married an English lady, and he has grandchildren there. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">So we drove to Portsmouth, and next morning we were aboard
the ferry back home, safe and sound.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">We had a wonderful time, and now we have a nice
story to tell.</span></div>
