Description

A superb example of one of Filton’s finest creations, this Bristol 411 Series 3 exudes understated British luxury. With its flowing lines, distinctive quadruple headlights (complemented by its signature four tailpipes), and a commanding presence, the 411 was the marque’s answer to transcontinental motoring—blending refined craftsmanship with serious V8 performance.

Key Restoration Highlights Include:
• Replacement of rear chassis outriggers
• Re-lining of wheel arches
• New luggage compartment floor
• Comprehensive mechanical and cosmetic overhaul
• Front seats with head restraints

The factory 3-speed automatic gearbox has been upgraded to the 4-speed ZF automatic transmission, significantly improving drivability and refinement. At 70mph, the engine purrs at a relaxed 1, 850 RPM, offering both serene cruising and improved fuel economy.

Recent work and upgrades (within the last two years), costing in excess of £18, 000, include:
• Suspension and steering refurbishment, featuring correctly rated Koni shock absorbers
• Cruise control, operated via a Bristol-style stalk
• Park distance control with discreet reversing camera
• Rear seat belts (retrofitted for added safety)
• Refinished upholstery and new, high-quality carpets throughout, including in the luggage compartment

Mechanical work has been entrusted to leading Bristol car specialists.
MOT records confirm the car has travelled just 4, 794 miles in the last decade. It has been always kept under cover—currently residing in its own air-conditioned garage. Its condition today is a testament to the care it has received.
