Elliot Gant of shirt fame bought an LHD 410 from Tony Crook and insisted on changing style elements he did not like (such as chrome side strips that heralded the 411). Among other things he had a Moto-Lita wheel installed - pointing out that the huge Blumel steering wheel made little sense with power steering. It appears that both custom changes influenced Bristol in the 411. Thus, at least one Moto-Lita was original equipment on a Bristol. You can try getting in contact with Steve Sparkes, who now owns the car for details.
