Bristol 412

A 1977 Bristol 412, the hand-built British grand tourer from a maker that has always stayed well away from the mainstream. This example is finished in silver with a leather interior and carpets, and has covered 90,500 miles.

The more interesting detail is the mechanical work. The car has had a crankshaft overhaul and a new Edelbrock carburettor, and it has also been fitted with a high-output alternator and an uprated anti-roll bar. New Blockley tyres have been fitted, and it has been fully serviced since UK registration.

Cosmetically it is described as needing only light work to reach a very good standard, which puts it below concours level and at a lower price than the best 412s.
