Bristol Blenheim Series 1

A 1997 Bristol Blenheim finished in Arabian Red, one of the hand-built Bristols that appeal to buyers wanting an understated, long-legged grand tourer. It was built as a Series 1 but has been updated with the Series 2 package, which brings a reshaped front end, a wider track to suit the 15-inch 'snowflake' alloy wheels, and upgraded headlights.

The odometer shows about 27,000 miles, which the history file is said to support. The current owner bought it from Bristol Cars in July 2010 with only around 4,000 miles on the clock. Apart from the Series 2 upgrades, the only addition is front and rear parking sensors.

The dealer reports regular maintenance and describes the car as original and well kept, suited to both touring and everyday use. It is offered by SLJ Hackett, which describes itself as Official Heritage Partner of Bristol Cars.
