Bristol 411 Series 4

The Bristol 411 was the company's hand-built, Chrysler-powered four-seat grand tourer, and this Series 4 from 1975 departs from the usual formula with a Tremec five-speed manual gearbox in place of the original automatic. It is finished in blue over light grey leather with contrasting piping and dark blue carpets, with a wood dashboard and Smiths instruments.

The V8 has been uprated with Edelbrock aluminium heads, a fast-road camshaft, Holley Sniper fuel injection and electronic ignition, plus a custom branch exhaust and upgraded front brake discs and calipers. The previous owner reports extensive restoration spending. An inspection by Lee Keller praised the gearbox installation, the engine's torque, the structural condition with no obvious corrosion, and the attention given to the front suspension.

Two binders of history go back to around 2000 and include invoices from Bristol Cars and SLJ Hackett. The previous owner mentions some bubbling on a front wing and a repaint of the passenger door. The odometer reads 82,234 miles, but the total is not verified.
