Bristol 407/408 Saloon one of only 83 ever made! superb original conditio 1963
General description :
We have the pleasure of presenting a rare 1963 Bristol 408 Saloon. Bought a few years ago by the well-known Aston Martin specialist, Desmond J Small from its first owner. The in 1963 introduced 408 had the new iconic Bristol shape that remained recognisable up to the 1972 series 3 Bristol 411. The Bristol was an exclusive, sporty and yet quintessential a distinguished gentleman’s coupe! The striking rectangular grill, straight wing lines and oval rear lights are stunning. In 4 years only 83 408’s were ever produced. The list price of the Bristol’s was up there with the Rolls Royce’s and Bentleys. This car is certainly a rarity considering its superb original, unrestored condition and mileage of 72,000 miles. The bodywork has had a full bare-metal professional re-spray. The wonderful bodywork has perfectly straight panels and brilliant paintwork. The perfectly sound underbody is still original and totally rust-free. The original interior trim exudes a wonderful patina. It has a 250 Hp 5.2 V8 Chrysler engine in combination with a 3-stage, ‘push button’ automatic transmission. The car drives a treat. This is surely a rare superbly preserved Bristol! Gallery Aaldering is Europe’s leading Classic Cars specialist since 1975!

About Bristol
Bristol Cars Ltd is the last remaining division of the Bristol Aeroplane Company, a major aircraft manufacturer. In 1945 they took over Fraser Nash that had their "Fraser Nash B.M.W." concept figured out. This suited well for Bristol's ambitions to manufacture a high quality sports car.With the support of the War Reparations Board, they purchased the rights to manufacture three BMW models and the 328 engine from BMW.
However, in 1947 Frazer Nash was resold and both makes became independent entities.
Hand-built Bristols are highly original and quintessentially British Cars, in spite of their BMW derived technology, that combine element of aero-industry with small scale car manufacturing.
