Default Bristol 411 series 4

Interestingly Hesketh, the chassis list I have does not list any 411 series 4 with a chassis number starting with a 7700. registration number VMD 97M, VMD 99M are listed but not VMD 98M.
Car looks good, hope all goes well with the engine rebuild at least all the parts needed if any are readily available for the engine.
Regards,
Nick 407 6028

Hi Nick,

Thanks for the post and hope you are well.

That is interesting !
I read that the 411 S4 was produced from 1974 is this incorrect then ?

I hope to find out more on this car.

Many thanks

H

The first four digits of 411 chassis numbers increase one at a time and the last digit increases by three so 7700 386 is prior to 7701 389 which is followed by 7702 392.
By my reckoning this would make yours roughly the 18th S4 produced.
