Bristol 410

The Bristol 410 was the firm's Chrysler V8-powered grand tourer of the late 1960s, a hand-built, understated two-door saloon. This 1967 example has been through a long, thorough restoration, begun in 2017 and finished in 2024, after it was bought from Bristol Cars Ltd as a project.

The bodywork was extensively repaired. Most of the rusted underside was cut out and replaced, new aluminium wheel arches were made and welded in, and the car was repainted in dark Lancia Blue. The interior was retrimmed in Oxblood Vaumol leather with dark blue Wilton carpet, and the dashboard and door capping woodwork was repaired and relacquered.

Mechanically, the engine was rebuilt, a new overdrive gearbox fitted, and the brakes, suspension, steering and axle overhauled. It also has a new Edelbrock carburettor, alternator, starter and distributor, plus rewiring. The car has covered about 2,200 miles since the work was completed. It is offered by SLJ Hackett, the official heritage partner of Bristol Cars.
