Description
A rare opportunity to own a 1959 Bristol 406, an elegant and sophisticated British grand tourer. This example has been fitted with a reliable Triumph 2. 5-litre engine, overdrive gearbox and disc brakes all around, offering a blend of classic Bristol craftsmanship with a more accessible powertrain.
The bodywork is in fair condition, showing signs of age with some bubbles to the body / paint and slightly different shades of paint. The interior is complete but would benefit from refurbishment to restore its original charm. Mechanically, the engine was rebuilt a number of years ago and is currently running with the help of some easy start, with this being said, the carburettors require attention before any driving as it appears to be running rich.
An excellent opportunity for an enthusiast looking to own a true British classic without spending £40, 000 on a top example. Serious enquiries welcome. Please note: the front bumper is not present. The previous owner purchased this vehicle a approximately a year ago and drove it from London to Wales with no reported issues. He put it in his garage / barn and set about some small remedial jobs when he unfortunately passed away leaving the vehicle sat in his garage / barn ever since. The family had no use or enthusiasm for the Bristol and so it is now up for sale.
