Chassis 341

[dezelsky]

I looked at the Bristol 400 ch 341 - JYO 300 - at the Dore & Rees auction yesterday at Castle Combe. It is odd because it is a later car, but has the top hinged boot with spare wheel inside, fixed rear window, and covers on the jacking points on the cills. I was under the impression that only very early cars were made with this configuration. Does anyone know more about the history of this car? The description suggests that it had an extensive restoration in the 1990s. It looked well bought at £20k+commission, but from what I could see there might be an issue with a weeping engine block.
