![]() Hello,
so i found a dream in form of a Bristol 411 and the owner will probably sell this car. I am a beginner in british cars and normally i'm collecting alfa romeos. So i have a question and i cant find a register or any information. Is the Car -i couldn't make a picture cause of the darkness in the garage. date of registration: 02/03/1972 Engine No E383359 chassis No 411760498 a serie 2 or 3? Whats "normaly" the market price for a unrestored used and running car in a very good condition, about 60000 miles? Thanks for your help. |

![]() I believe the first three digits,...411 are the model, the rest seem to be in line with other 411 chassis numbers at the BOC site.

![]() Hi,
I do not think that your chassis number is correct. The engine number fits as E383358 was fitted to a 411 series 2 in 1972 engine numbers do not go in sequence but that engine went into chassis number 411 S2 7605101 your chassis number appears to have one number missing, it should read as above. It could however be right and unlisted as the chassis number before the one listed has only 6 numerals ie 411s2 760395 I hope this is helpful. nick 407 6028 |

![]() Thanks for your quick answers.
I compared the dates below with the " vehicle registration document" from great britain once again. So this dates are right!!! ![]() Could a british document be incorrect? So the car is located in germany now. So i hope, it will be a series 2 which suits better to me than a series 3 (but that's a matter of taste) Will take pics next week. Günter |

The question of market value is difficult to answer without a thorough inspection of the car. As a guide, a perfect example that needs no work is probably worth about £25,000. These cars are relatively simple and easy to work on so restoration costs would be no more than most other contemporary classic cars. I believe all vital parts are still available, but not the bumper bars! Kevin |
