Transmission: Manual
A very well know Bristol 403 from the local classic car community. This unrestored car has been in regular use for some years and with its current owner for the last 36. Rescued from a scrapyard in Berkshire back in 1966. It has had a engine rebuild at some point in that time but the owner loved the patina covered aluminium body which showed all of its history. The owner once said “someone may paint it one day, but not me! It is like bringing a grandfather back to life, same wrinkles, same voice, same fun.”
Estimate: £8, 000 – 12, 000
