Special Drophead - Bristol 401 Cabriolet



Continuing the Centenary Celebration of the Bristol Aeroplane Company out of which Bristol Cars was born, today we are looking at another unique car a Bristol 401 Drophead.



Between 1948 and 1953 Bristol Cars built 611 401 coupes and 23 mechanically identical 402's cabriolets.



Sources close to the Bristol Owners Club assure me that this vehicle, seen at a VSCC meeting at Prescott, is a one off special 401 coupe converted into a cabriolet.

Hope you have enjoyed today's special drophead edition of 'Gettin' a lil' psycho on tyres' and will join me again tomorrow for some Bristol disambiguation. Don't forget to come back now !
