About this car
The Bristol 403 was the last and most developed of the company's 401/403 Aerodyne saloons, a post-war grand tourer shaped with aircraft-industry thinking and built in small numbers. This 1954 car is finished in British Racing Green over beige leather with contrasting dark piping, and its dashboard keeps the original walnut veneer.
It retains its original Bristol 100A engine, so the car is described as matching numbers, with chassis 403/1434 and engine 100A/3148. The odometer shows an indicated 56,515 miles. A front disc brake conversion has been fitted to sharpen braking in modern traffic.
The paint is described as good, with only minor age marks, and the leather shows light, even patination. A history file holds photographs and invoices for past maintenance, and the V5 records two former keepers before the current owner.
