Calibrator ,
Looking at the BCL Register in the excellent book "the Bristol Aeroplane Company , Car Division " page 372 .
It states that chassis 401/1225 , engine number 85C/2230 was despatched to Chardonnet/France (the Bristol agent) on 30th March 1953 .It was Cambridge Grey and RHD.
I can only assume it has been in France since 1953.
It is good that you have bought this car and hopefully it will be back on the road within a few years
