Highlights

Offered as a rolling shell, ready for a full restoration project
Comes with chassis tag and V5C registration document to follow
Body sanded back and in partial primer

The Appeal

The Bristol 411 is among the more esoteric, nevertheless much-celebrated British grand tourers of the early 1970s, pairing handbuilt coachwork with Chrysler V8 muscle. Few were made, and fewer still survive, making any opportunity to acquire one, no matter what state it's in.

This 1973 example is offered as a rolling shell only, stripped of its drivetrain and interior, with the bodywork sanded back to partial primer. There is no engine, gearbox, or interior trim present.

What it does offer is the all-important identity: a chassis tag and a V5C registration document to follow. For anyone embarking on a Bristol 411 restoration, sourcing a replacement shell or seeking the identity to build around, this is a straightforward proposition with a clear starting point.
