That looks like a really good example of a 403. I have never owned a 6-cylinder Bristol, but I do appreciate their qualities (as an automotive engineer). I hope and expect that as you get to know this car you will discover just what a brilliant and radical design it was for the 1950s. The cognoscenti always assert that the handling of the Bristol cars of this period is outstanding compared to anything else available at the time, and indeed for quite some years after.
Congratulations and wishing you many years of happy Bristolling.
