I was reading some old posts and a few years ago a member was modernising the 403 wiring diagram making coloured version did the pdf ever reach the forum.
If anyone has any advice putting new loom into the 403 please share your knowledge.

I’m hoping someone in the group may be able to help with a Bristol 401 question.

Does anyone have reference material, factory documentation, drawings, measurements or photographs that would allow the original luggage compartment dimensions and volume of a Bristol 401 to be established?

In particular, I’m interested in:

* Boot floor length.
* Boot floor width (including maximum width and width between any intrusions).
* Height to the underside of the boot lid.
* Boot opening dimensions.
* Approximate usable luggage volume.
* Any factory luggage or touring literature that references capacity.

Even rough measurements from an owner with access to a car would be extremely helpful.

Many thanks in advance.

These original seats were from Bristol a 403 built in 1954, so they have aged over the last 71 years. The rear bench is in better condition as this seating area saw significantly less use than the front seats. The seats are covered in fawn-coloured original Connolly leather. The front driver and passenger seats are in need of repair. They are currently sitting in storage and I would welcome finding a new home for them. The listing and more photos can be found at:

Feel free to contact me if you have any interest.
