Default Bristol 400 shock absorbers

My 400 has a set of adjustable Koni telescopic shock absorbers but this is only possible by
1.My fitting a 406 Front axle complete with steering and disc brakes, and
2 because it had a factory modification to the rear - a hefty frame bolted across the rear chassis to allow mounting points for rear telescopics.
Handling, with a rollbar,is excellent but in today's climate you might even decrease the value of the car by this modification. The original shocks are complex and wonderfully engineered.
Look after them and they will serve you well.
