Thank you very much for posting your photos. You have quite a task ahead of you, but I am sure it will be well worth doing. Keep us posted about progress, please.

Thank you for the reply,Sir...

A bit of progress here...

It is the perfect place for your photos. Thanks for sharing!

What is the history of this car?

Bristol 402 in Denmark
 

You seem to be doing a great job.

Is it possible to see a photo of the car plate on the scuttle, with all the car info on?

Just interested to know which car this is.

Here we go..Hmm,-don't know to much about the history of this car. It's owned by a gentleman from sweden,where it was found..I'm "just" a hired hand here in Denmark ;)

Thanks very much. Great help to those poor souls amongst us who try to track these cars down. Now we know something we didn't know fully before, that this car still exists.

I presume it is right hand drive. Is that correct?

Andrew Blow

Yes,you are correct,-it's a right hand drive..We would be verry happy to learn more about this cars history :)
A little update,-I've made a simple tool for producing the alu-rings on the door/doorlocks,-trial fittet the front bumper with restored air-intake wings (not the correct words I'm using,-I know ;) ) I turned new small alu spacers and axels for the intake-wings and got them back in shape,-they were pretty sad looking before(should be polished ? )...Cylinder-blok with 6 new liners,-trial fittet the renovated crank...
I'm looking for the correct engine colour ? Can anybody help me,please ?
Oh yes,-how about an oilpump for this creature ?? I've only got traces of one right now :)

Regards from Griebel

P.S.: A little (snowy) picture of the second Bristol in the garage too......

Thanks to some oil-pump advice from Mr.Dowdle,I was able to get a bit further with the engine....

Cheers from,

Griebel

And then some...

Cheers from Griebel

P.S.: Thank you for the great info,Mr.Dowdle !

A bit of DIY news :)Engine taking form.....Still in need of an unwelded rear axle (drum to drum) by the way...

Regards from Griebel

Do you need a diff in the axle? I have a complete axle with brakes but less the diff. E-mail me on sales@amjblow.co.uk

The bodywork continues..a lot of alu fabrication :)

It's strange that the details don't match to the BOC records. That number plate is from a 401 with a different chassis and engine number !

Not that strange...the numberplate comes from a spare set of bumpers ;)
The 402 in this thread was found with some Volvo "things" on it...So the picture really should not be here at all :) Sorry....

Ah ! good to know that the 401 is probably dead that the bumpers came from and the records can be updated. Is the 400 owned by the same person ?

dobb.post..sorry

Att.:Greg,-No,the 400 is owned by a gent. from DK. ´Perhaps I should show some pictures of that car in another thread...it's freshly restored with interior,paint and chrome ;)
But here's a couple more from the 402 project...

Progress in the 402 build..painted :)

Progress
 

Griebel,
