New Owner Bristol 409

[302rover]

Hello All,
I recently purchased a mostly restored 409 which was delivered last weekend. What a magnificent car! I also have a Jaguar E-type, a Jaguar Mk2, and a highly modified Rover 2000TC, all good cars in their own rights but the quality and feel of the Bristol is far superior, in my opinion. It just feels wonderful to drive.

Having said that, there are a few things that need doing on the car so I am now in the parts search mode. What I am discovering is that some Bristol parts can be sourced from other British cars. For example the exhaust hanger brackets are the same as those used on the E-type. And the interior dome light lens looks like that in my Rover. And of course the V8 cars all use Chrysler engines and transmissions. In the case of the 318 CI engine, the Carter 4bbl was also used on '61 Plymouths and Dodges.

So the examples above got me wondering if a cross reference parts list exists. Does anyone know of such a resource?

Cheers and happy to be here,
Tom
