Chris,
Could you please scan a copy of the photos or the whole article and place on the Forum ,as we won't get the Oct issue down under for a few months .
I have thousands of photos of Bristols filed by chassis number and might recognise the Black 400 from the Netherlands.
It all sounds dubious as to the accuracy of the article.
One question ,we as Bristol enthusiasts should ask , is what would the current owners of BCL know about the early history of the Bristol Car ???
They have probably read the same ill-informed magazine articles ,with the same mistakes reproduced time after time that they are now bordering on the truth.
Even Oxley and Setright to a lesser extent had some glaring mistakes in their various books. But these books were certainly welcome at the time.
