Thanks for info
Thanks for all the info on the headlining. The PRV web site was most interesting too. I knew Jones Bros. did some bodies and of course that area of London was a centre for many body builders - Park Ward, Mulliners etc.
Incidentally, I owned an Alvis TD21 until recently with the PW body- made down to a price as illustrated by its lack of rust protection!
My 409 appears to have come to Australin around 1980, owned by a gynacologist in NSW. During its life, some one had the leather interior sprayed with a coating, so as to renew the colour. It was a good job, only detectable when the actual trim was dismantled.
Even my Aussie trimmmer came around to saying what a nice car the Bristol was, especially with the Chrysler power! We actually take our 409 to a fair number of Chrysler Restorers Club of SA events where it gets a lot of attention.
