Bristol 406 1959

The Bristol 406, introduced in 1959, is a classic car that embodies the elegance and craftsmanship of British automobile design. This car was powered by a 2.2 liter 6-cylinder matching number Bristol engine and was equipped with an overdrive manual transmission. The Bristol 406 continued the heritage of the Bristol Car Company, which was known for its innovative designs and use of high-quality materials. The 406's aluminum body contributed to its lightweight construction, which enhanced its driving dynamics.

This particular Bristol 406 has had four owners and an estimated 62,000 miles. The car has recently undergone a bare metal respray and has been well maintained, as evidenced by the distribution of maintenance history and the recent roller bench tune-up. Over the past decade, the car has been further improved with an engine overhaul, upgrades to the original radiator, and new brake discs and calipers, adding to its reliability and performance. The interior has also been refurbished, with new leather for the seats and new carpets.

The Bristol 406 comes with original keys, a key fob, a manual, a spares manual, and copies of factory documents. It is a car that has been driven regularly, including participation in events such as the Goodwood track day and Classic Le Mans. The car recently traveled 550 km to the Classic Car Auction House, attesting to its driving ability. The car is independently appraised with an insurance value of £65,000.
