Listed today at SLJ Hackett, Warminster. Last checked today.
The Brigand was the turbocharged-era Bristol sold in the 1980s, but this car is described by the dealer as a Blenheim Series 2 coupé, built in 1984 with a 5.9-litre Chrysler-derived V8 and a three-speed automatic gearbox. Bristol's long, understated two-door shape remains one of the quietest in British motoring.
This example has been repainted in Oak Green metallic, a shade taken from period Volkswagen and Porsche palettes, in place of its original silver. The interior has been retrimmed in black hide, with a replacement headlining, a re-veneered dashboard, LED instrument lighting and a new Smiths clock.
It has been usefully upgraded mechanically. There is a reconditioned replacement engine with a new MSD ignition, a Harvey Bailey handling kit, Blenheim alloy wheels and AP Racing four-pot brakes. The chassis has been refurbished with welding and Waxoyl, and the car has been extensively rewired. It has appeared in Evo, Octane and on Honest John. The photographs show its original plate, B264 MLP. The private registration BS4970 may be included by separate agreement.
