Beschreibung
This Series 6 started its life as a classic V8 Bristol 411 Series 4, which was then stripped at the Bristol factory back to each individual nut and bolt, before being rebuilt to a better than new condition in 2009.
Reluctantly placing the car on the market now, after 10 years trouble-free ownership. Whilst car is very reliable and in excellent condition, to return it to concours level would require a level of paint work to some body panels for which BCL have quoted £8k.
Recent improvement includes a heated front windscreen.
