2 Litre Key Fob
This is the key fob that came with my 404-X when I bought it in 1968. Probably not rare, but it is 50 or so years old. I would be interested to know how common these are.

Key Fob
The key fob which came with my 1962 407 is a very small circular Bristol logo on a leather backing. Colour of the medallion is silver and just about a thumb nail in size. I cannot post a 'photo at the moment as I an in our house in Spain.

The Key fob is the correct one, I also have one of the same type since 1962.

I think they suit the car - very understated! I have only just realised that the two period key fobs are different, so they may not have come with the car. At least not both of them. Did these key fobs normally come with a 411 of did they pre date it? Quote:
and what led you to the conclusion that it is "very rare"? *Just kidding, I bought it from Bristol Car Services in the late 1990s. (If I was going to get any made in China I would make sure it said "2 Litre"!) .

Curiously the fob that came with my 1969 411S1 is similar to the ones on the left but with a square leather backing rather than triangular!

2 litre key fob?
My Bristol key fob, not necessarily 2 litre, was used I would think until they ran out of them. Mine came with my car and was not used a lot, the second set of keys on a more modern fob had more wear, I suspect that previous owners valued the little one more. I have certainly used it when we went to concours etc. it like the one on the far left of Gregs compendium of keys.
I think that the father of the young man who writes the junior section of the mag, young Thomas once owned my 407 according to all the history I have since the car was delivered new by one of Bristol Cars dealers in Leeds. Nick 407 6028

Key fob
I think they were issued with every new car until they, Bristol, ran out of stock and did not re-order.

Can anyone shed any light on the history of this Bristol pegasus fob? I bought it recently on eBay, after the poor quality imitation leather on the one I bought new from Bristol Cars a few years ago fell apart, although this one is a bit worn too.

Bristol old style key fob
The key fob just posted by Sam I have not seen before, mine is the same as the one on Des's reply which I think were issued as I said before until they ran out. I.E. not just for 2 litres as mine is with my 407.
