Bristol 400s in Noth & South America

[Geoff Dowdle]

Earlier this year Andrew Blow and I were appointed Joint 400 Registrars for the BOC . We are trying to update the 400 Register and need information about a few of the 400's that are currently in the Americas .

The ones in question are in
USA
chassis 141 in Oregon (but old information)
chassis 573 was in Idaho (sold earlier this year)
See attached photos

Brazil
Chassis 147
Chassis 149
Chassis 150
Two of these LHD cars are currently in Sao Paulo , one Pastel Blue , the other Maroon but do not have their chassis numbers , only photos.

Any information about these cars or other 400's would be appreciated.

Tks Geoff

I think it may still be with the driver, Lord Lucan!

Nick ,
being an Aussie I have heard very little of Lord Lucan (7th Earl) but know he has disappeared (like the 400)
The driver certainly looks like him but the dates don't add up . He was born in 1934 and this photo was taken in about early to mid 1949 .
Did the 6th Earl have similar features ?
As I've been researching these 400's I've found quite a few were originally owned by nobility or wealthy business men of note.
Tks
Geoff

Sorry Geoff,
It was a strictly tongue in cheek remark, Lord Lucans son has been in the UK trying to obtain his fathers title as it has not been accepted by the powers that be that he is dead.
Cheers, sorry for the confusion,
Nick
