Bristol 404

The Bristol 404 was the company's short-wheelbase two-door coupe of the mid-1950s, a rare and aerodynamically shaped car built by the aircraft maker. This example, chassis 404/2042, was first registered in March 1955 and is linked to Anthony Crook, the racing driver and one of Bristol's largest distributors, who later became a part owner of the Bristol Car Company.

It was changed during Crook's ownership. It now has the later Bristol 100/B2 engine in place of the original 100B, along with overdrive on the gearbox and disc brakes in place of the front drums. Crook also added reclining seats, electric windows and modified gauges.

The car was originally finished in Bristol Black with Turkish Red upholstery. It is now Metallic Red with black trim, after a full bare-metal respray by Mitchell Motors, part of restoration work carried out by the current owner. No mileage is given.
