An unusually large number of Bristols


At their peak production in the 1950s it is unlikely that Bristol produced more than about five cars per week.
Originally developed around the long-stroke 6-cylinder engine from the BMW 328 of 1936, the Bristol type 400 of 1946 resembled pre-war BMWs.
Bristol engines were popular in sports and sports-racing cars in the 1950s/60s and were options for AC Aces and Acecas and post-war Frazer-Nash cars.
Afficionados will be familiar with Cooper-Bristol racing cars with a high power bulge necessary to accommodate their top-mounted triple downdraught Solex carburettors.
Several of these Bristols had attended a farewell "bash" at the Filton airfield that finally closed in June 2016 and where Bristol cars were first built.
