Getting the engine of a Bristol 410 running for the first time in seven years
Dear Everyone,
I inherited a Bristol 410 off my grandfather when I was 17. He had owned the car, since the early 70's and for forty years it has been stored in a garage and only taken out at weekends. Because of this the car is completely original and has never been restored.
During my ownership it has been sitting in a garage for 7 years and now before it deteriorates further I want to get the engine running and hopefully work towards getting it road legal.
First question is where can I get hold of a new battery for the car and what type of battery do it need? Also the tank is half full of seven year old fuel. Whats the best way of getting this out? Also do any of you have any further tips and advice you can give me?
Thanks Paul
