Bristol 400, 1950 - 1st gear downhill issue

Dear all,
I have recently bought a 400 and I have an interesting downhill issue. Everytime when I start the engine and start driving with the first gear downhill the gearbox goes in a kind of idle-speed. I heared there is a way to handle/deactivate this, but do not know how. Does someone know the answer and also know why this happens?
Best regards from Austria
Roman
