A break from tradition. After the numbering system they adopted names of Bristol aeroplanes from the past. Wonder why they’ve chosen Buccaneer as a name. Any ideas?

411 or 412 switches.

Looking for any or all of the facia switches for my 412. If anyone knows the Lucas part numbers that too would be a great help. Thanks. Jim.

Brian May.

I’ve just heard from a friend that Brian May passed away a couple of weeks ago. I’m pretty gutted. He was very kind to me over the years. Heartfelt condolences to his wife and family.

The 603.

I had a 603S2, registered 10PNU. Loved it. Even more so after SLJ did a suspension rebuild on it for me. Expensive but it did transform the car.

In my view, as with most cars, the colour affects...

Interesting article Geoff. One of my 403's has an ill fitting bonnet due to a couple of the welded joints in the steel frame having come apart. Hopefully rewelding them will correct the problem. Jim.
