Bristol 407/408 1965
General description :
Bristol 408 Saloon
Offered here is a beautiful example of the Bristol 408 which has had an incredible amount of care lavished on it to ensure it presents in top condition and is mechanically reliable and always on the button, ready for the long journey ahead, rain or shine. The owner has taken a great deal of pride in this lovely Bristol and is reluctantly only parting with it due to health problems.
The specification is a perfect combination for a Bristol, handsomely finished in Oxford Blue with black leather interior and unusually the car has air conditioning and a sliding metal sunroof which are highly desirable options, hardly ever seen.
An engine rebuild has very recently been carried out amongst other works and accompanying the car is en extremely comprehensive history file detailing the works carried out on the vehicle and giving a great insight into the fastidiousness of ownership enjoyed by its custodians.
Available for viewing in our Kew showroom.

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.
