Default 100A engine and non leaded petrol

Ashley/
:

Great information for Peter. However, I have been lucky enough to buy
two Bristols ( both 406s) with 50,000 miles on the clock, and laid up
forever. As Bristol engines leak a bit of oil, the engines and
gearboxes were in super condition for their wear, and no corrosion
around there ( don't mention the rest). So no great relining, boring
nor all that. But all heads Loctited as a matter of course. Also
truing, if warped.

I'd suggest getting a professional, on hoist assessment, and I'd be
surprised if the bill for mechanicals is more than the quote for body
and cosmetics, but maybe you're not there yet!

Best. Sean
