Bristol 400 Wanted

[Geoff Dowdle]

Marcus ,
I applaud your enthusiasm for what you want but its not that simple .
Even money sometimes can not buy what you want .
A few facts to put things in perspective
There were only 421 standard bodied 400's produced
Approx half with the opening rear window , of those about 80 were sold in Australia and no doubt 40 - 50 of the 200 odd would have been wrecked.
Maybe 50 % of the rest are laying unrestored waiting for new owners or in a condition that does not suit you .
There are probably only 5 - 10 examples to your specification worldwide and most of those owners would not part with them .
I believe your best option is to lower your expectations and buy a good sound car and rebuild it to the way you want it .
Andrew Blow seems to have the odd 400 for sale and recently sold a nice blue one that could have suited you .
Good Luck in your search
Geoff
