Thanks very much. Great help to those poor souls amongst us who try to track these cars down. Now we know something we didn't know fully before, that this car still exists.

I presume it is right hand drive. Is that correct?

Yes,you are correct,-it's a right hand drive..We would be verry happy to learn more about this cars history
A little update,-I've made a simple tool for producing the alu-rings on the door/doorlocks,-trial fittet the front bumper with restored air-intake wings (not the correct words I'm using,-I know ) I turned new small alu spacers and axels for the intake-wings and got them back in shape,-they were pretty sad looking before(should be polished ? )...Cylinder-blok with 6 new liners,-trial fittet the renovated crank...
I'm looking for the correct engine colour ? Can anybody help me,please ?
Oh yes,-how about an oilpump for this creature ?? I've only got traces of one right now

Regards from Griebel

P.S.: A little (snowy) picture of the second Bristol in the garage too......

Do you need a diff in the axle? I have a complete axle with brakes but less the diff. E-mail me on sales@amjblow.co.uk

It's strange that the details don't match to the BOC records. That number plate is from a 401 with a different chassis and engine number !

Not that strange...the numberplate comes from a spare set of bumpers
The 402 in this thread was found with some Volvo "things" on it...So the picture really should not be here at all Sorry....

Ah ! good to know that the 401 is probably dead that the bumpers came from and the records can be updated. Is the 400 owned by the same person ?

Att.:Greg,-No,the 400 is owned by a gent. from DK. īPerhaps I should show some pictures of that car in another thread...it's freshly restored with interior,paint and chrome
But here's a couple more from the 402 project...
