Bristol 410 (1967)

Restored with an eye for originality this example of the later V8 engined Bristol's could easily take you back to 1967, the year when she came out of the Factory in Filton, Bristol

An amazing finish to all aspects of this beauty with a deep lustre to the paintwork and bright work too - internally the hides used are supple and smooth whilst the veneers are almost Rolls-Royce like

The owner, who organized his team to build this car to his requirements, has a good eye for detail and even the screws on the seat back rests are all positioned horizontally - again as a Rolls-Royce in period would have too

Contrast over mats in black protect the burgundy wool carpets, and a hand made aluminium radiator with twin electric fans keep things cool when traffic interrupts your journey

He drove her carefully for 1.800 miles just to bed everything in, had his team tweak and nip all unions, junctions, locks, hinges and all the like

The 5.2 litre V8 having been gently used during the 1.800 miles purrs along and having loosened up during this, she now pulls strongly through the gears, emanating a nice growl through the exhausts

Bristol can no longer offer full restorative facilities making this 410 a special opportunity - and offered at much less than they previously set the bar

Still un-marked, you would find it more than difficult to discover another in such astonishing condition
