 Doesn't appear to be on DVLA, but it's on hpicheck and mycarcheck.com. :??:

 The vehicle details for USL 522 are:

Date of Liability 01 12 2011
Date of First Registration 07 11 1997
Cylinder Capacity (cc) 2793CC
Vehicle Colour RED

Now a new colour.

Make listed as Bristol 401 on DVLA (A trick I've recently learned is to check the make field on hpicheck)

I remember there used to be a red one in the TV series Peak Practice (Along with a Volvo Amazon). Odd as that is the second time today that said show has came to mind.

 I assume DVLA is the most current - the others recycle DVLA-sourced data so may not be quite as up to date, and may take time to show changes.

Same here - for some reason webuyanycar can do this sometimes when the others fail.

 Don't be naughty. This was designed in UK, even if the oily bits were German.

 Sandie. Unless the engine's been swapped at some stage, it should have the standard 1971 cc Bristol 6 cylinder unit. Ex- BMW of course.

 2793cc makes me think of late 70s Ford Granada or Capri transplant. Any other ideas?

 Mostly BMWs come up with that exact cylinder capacity.
