Lot details Registration No: NAS 530 Chassis No: 406/5219 Mot Expiry: None
Offered here is a Bristol 406, a 2-door sports saloon which first left the Filton workshops of the celebrated West Country manufacturer in 1959 ands was acquired by the vendor in 2003. He tells us that the previous owner, a Bristol enthusiast and long standing Owners Club member, assembled a very extensive workshop file detailing work carried out on the car. The paperwork indicates that NAS 530 was maintained over many years by Bristol Cars Services Limited and also by marque specialists Performance Autoservice of Bristol, no expense having been spared on looking after the mechanical items.
The current condition of the chassis is described as sound with fair bodywork, red over maroon paintwork fair to good and beige leather interior said to be very poor. It is claimed that the electrical equipment is all working, whilst the 2.2-litre 6-cylinder engine and 4-speed manual gearbox with the benefit of an overdrive are reportedly in good order. The correct Bristol wheels, shod with Michelins, are said to be good too.
The 48,729 miles displayed when entered is believed by the current owner to be the genuine mileage for the handbuilt sports saloon from new. Potential purchasers should also be aware that the vendor intended to have the MOT test certificate (due to expire just after the car was entered for this auction) renewed by sale day. They are advised therefore to check out the latest MOT certificate in the documents office at Buxton.
