Bristol 405 for sale.

Hope you'll take a moment to check out my eBay listing number 152344675447. I'm selling my 405 project. An acquired taste for some, but it will make a nice car.

Hi Geoff. I have my 403 in my workshop in Chester. Might they come out and take a pattern from that as they are only a few miles up the M53? Jim.

From recollection 70 mph was at around 3000 rpm. Has this problem arisen recently? Sounds perhaps like the gearbox isn't changing up?

Another Bristol 412 hood question.

Help needed please. My 412 is coming along nicely, not a restoration, more a rejuvenation. This one is a keeper and to be used.

I need help though, and if possible photographs. It concerns the rear...

Hi Kevin. Not as yet, but I am hopefully dropping by his place through next week. Saw him briefly at the concours, and he said to call by and we could have a rummage through his stock.

I guess a last resort is to do what I did with my 405. Nothing seemed to remove the hardened deposits for me, so I took it to a local firm who, for many years, have specialised in radiator...

I think you're quite right. I came across the remnants of an Anthony Crook metallic label under the rear seat squab.

I've sourced a TR6 engine and gearbox with all ancillaries at a reasonable...

It's so sad Clyde never saw his project brought to...

It's a good call. Because I had thought about an engine and gearbox out of a mid 1990's BMW 325/525 or 328/528. But then I'd heard those engines were much longer and needed chassis cutting that I'd...

That's a beautiful looking Greyhound. Mine isn't so lovely, but I'd like to hope it could be. I've heard of several Bristol sixes with the Triumph 2500 installed. Anybody have a direct knowledge of...

Call me mad?

For better or worse I now have the 403 that started this thread off in my workshop. It came to me via a wanted advert on this forum last year.

I've only had it for a little over a week, but the...

Not so easy for you.

I'd guess being in the United States narrows your choices somewhat. I've been driven in a 401 or 403, don't remember which, that had a Datsun 260Z engine in it. It just flew. Of course nothing,...

It's quite simple really.........

The reason I'm looking for an engineless and gearbox less car is quite simple really. The cost of complete cars.

I did own a lovely Bristol 401, KDF749. Bought for £8000.00, sold for £11,000.00....

405 rear ash frame replacement.

The ash boot surround in my 405 has perished far beyond the point of saving, or in fact to usefully provide patterns.

Do any forum members know of an ash frame restorer in the north of...

I'm gutted.

Had arranged the very short notice transport to recover this before Des lost his storage. Was about to book my train ticket to the old Kodak factory!

Beaten to it.

Love to hear if it comes up again.
