Default Bristol 409

Dear Ron,

I'm a displaced Brit living in VA, and I have a 409 which could be for sale. Not sure that it's what your looking for, but I'd like to send pictures and call/ correspond. I haven't so far been able to find your coordinates in the 2012 list of members, but mine are if you'd like to get in contact.

Best regards
David Jordan

The words "Bristol" and "affordable" are seldom used together....

But "Bristol" and "very enjoyable" - yes!

If I may advice, I would look for the best possible example, as a proper restoration is quite expensive. The driveline is not expensive to restore or/and upgrade, but specially the interior is. Instruments, seats, the tubular construction beneath the Aluminium skin, all windows ( specially front and rear), hinges, lights etc are not easy to repair or source.
