“A carmaker that sees no recession”

[ANTOINE PRUNET]

It is a 2-page story on the gathering of several hundred of cars and their owners in the city to celebrate the 64th birthday of Bristol in the city where they are still being built. "Our sales are up 25 percent since the beginning of 2008" says Toby Silverton, the 52-year-old owner since 2001 of the only one sale outlet company. About 150 cars were reportedly sold this year, prompting the joke "There are more people asking to buy the company than its cars". Even a large photo shows an AC Ace. Ace-Bristol, I suppose. It's a must read in today's issue of the International Herald Tribune.
