Philip,

What did it reach at auction, do you know?

Sad news indeed. A genuinely helpful and entertaining character who had much knowledge and combined this with a very practical attitude to keeping one's Bristol on the road.

Robert,

Good luck with your search. I used my 412 daily in the late 1990s and early 2000s and greatly enjoyed using it as my daily transport.

To add to what others have said, the Zagato design...

Kevin,

Have you thought of using Fluid Film? It is fantastic at penetrating joints and the like. It is interesting to inject this into a box section and notice quite how much of it flows out through...

Certainly looks good in parts, but quite a bit of expense looming for the prospective buyer.
