About this car

The Bristol 400 was the Bristol Aeroplane Company's first car, launched in 1947 and built on pre-war BMW lines. This 1949 right-hand-drive example is a barn-find project in blue, offered unrestored and partly dismantled.

The car needs a comprehensive restoration. The listing's photographs show the exterior, engine bay and interior. Mileage is unknown, and no gearbox is included: the loose one visible in the interior photograph is excluded from the sale. A buyer should confirm with the dealer exactly which parts come with the car.
