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.

I spent some time viewing your Blog. Very nice & the restoration photos assisted me in learning about the unknown car I just purchased. As opposed to my initial quick glance of your blog, I can see that you didn't do the restoration yourself....what?...didn't you have 20 years to spare?
It turned out to be a very beautiful 403. I wish my car was silver instead of black. When I first saw it on the auction site, the color was the only detail that discouraged me....I thought it looked
dark & seemed to minimize it's swooping curves & fastback design. I might add whitewalls to brighten it up.....that will probably make some here cringe however.
Your travel photos were amazing....beautiful locations & cars. However, I found them to be too dignified & stately. Don't you think a
nouveau riche, brash/loud/obnoxious Yank, driving his all original brash/loud/obnoxious '66 427 Corvette with side pipes would have lighten up the festivities?......fortunately, I don't know anyone like that.....really.....trust me on this.
Seriously, thanks for the tour & info. It will assist me as I explore my 403.
