Description
1951 Bristol 401 Reg WMF 917 - Restoration Project - Buff Log Book & V5 - Rare Early Bristol
Rare opportunity to acquire an original 1951 Bristol 401 restoration project complete with original continuation buff log book and V5 registration document.
An increasingly rare and highly sought-after post-war British GT, the Bristol 401 is regarded as one of the most elegant aerodynamic British designs of the era, combining Bristol engineering with beautiful Touring-inspired coachwork.
This is a genuine long-term stored project car, retaining excellent originality and huge restoration potential. The car appears substantially complete and has clearly been off the road for many years.
Highlights include:
* 1951 Bristol 401
* Original buff log book present
* Current V5 registration document
* Rare early Bristol project
* Genuine barn find / long-term stored car
* Highly original condition
* Desirable aerodynamic fastback body
* Excellent restoration candidate
Condition:
The vehicle requires full restoration throughout. Bodywork shows age-related corrosion, paint loss and storage wear consistent with long-term storage. Interior is largely original but deteriorated. Engine currently removed from the vehicle.
Also available separately by negotiation:
* Bristol 100B2 engine
* Professionally crack-tested with no cracks found in the main block
* Correct long-lever gearbox
An exceptional opportunity to restore one of Bristol’s most desirable early models. Projects of this originality and completeness rarely come to market with accompanying historic documentation.
Ideal for collector, Bristol enthusiast, or historic restoration specialist.
