Webasto
Hi,
We have a 401 from 1951 (UML 999) which we were told was one of two cars fitted with a webasto in period. (I think it was Geof Kingston, he owned the car in the early seventies and he sold it to my wife´s late father in 1976 or 1977).
We were told that the webasto weakened the roof (its not exactly Bristol quality!). It also affected stability at high speed since the rigidity of the shell was compromised. Bristol didnt offer it as an option.
The car is undergoing restoration (we are rebuilding an engine to replace the original which was stolen a couple of years ago). The car is in terrible condition but i can send you photos of it and the roof. We are going to restore the webasto it but need to find a supplier for spares since the interior structure is all but rusted away!
I will try to upload some photos
Anthony
