Restore 403 or sacrifice for parts?
Thinking about the values of the cars, I have the impression that
the Fighter has brought the Bristol name back into public focus in
the UK. Certainly the membership of the BOC has climbed a lot in the
last three years. I noticed some spectacular prices for a couple of
Arnolts in the USA earlier this year. I'd also imagine a Zagato 406
would be receiving a lot of interest if one were available! Only 5
around plus the 2-3 on 400 chassis. My own limited experience is
that the 405 has been the best handling Bristol I have ever had - it
will be interesting to see how the 406Z will compare. Body nearly
finished now and assemble, take down, paint, upholster and fit
screen then re-assemble to come. Maybe by March.
