Bristol 410

The Bristol 410 was built in very small numbers, well under 100, and is favoured by many enthusiasts as the pick of the V8 cars for its early-style dashboard and interior, Chrysler V8 power and distinctive bodywork with rear tail fins.

This car, registered TYF 447F, has been through a detailed restoration with a photographic record. The body was stripped and rebuilt, repainted with the windows out, and retrimmed. The engine had a major rebuild including a new crankshaft, solid cam, pistons and bearings, plus a ported head. It now runs an Edelbrock 600cfm carburettor, a larger water pump, upgraded brakes and a wider rear axle.

The dealer supplied it in 2020, took it back in part exchange in 2024 and resold it. Over £5,000 was then spent in late 2024 and early 2025 on new period seat belts, renewed wooden door cappings, new telescopic dampers, ball joints and a major brake service. Receipts since the restoration exceed £10,000. The owner is selling because of a move to the US.
