Hello,
maybe you'd like to take a look at some pages of my 403 blog...
My Favourite Cars-Bristol 403
I sold my 403 since last September to a nice gentleman and collector living in the South of France, but at least you may find what does the gear lever look like and some other interesting quirks of our beloved Bristols! Restoration of my 403 was somewhat roller coaster ride, but it worth every moment (and euro) of it. Congratulations, seriously, you purchased a fine car.
Best
Stefano
