About this car

The 406 was the last Bristol to use the company's own six-cylinder engine before the switch to Chrysler V8 power. With a 2,216cc unit, overdrive on the four-speed manual gearbox and disc brakes all round, it represents the final development of the firm's six-cylinder saloons.

This 1960 right-hand-drive car is finished in blue over cream upholstery, with a wood dashboard and door cappings. Period details include the roof-mounted indicator repeaters, a wing-mounted mirror, twin auxiliary front lamps and a Motorola push-button radio.

The odometer shows 37,161 miles, which is not warranted. The cream seats show some age-related creasing. A service history file comes with the car, and it will be supplied with 12 months' MOT.
