Just had some very good news. The BOC Heritage Trust lecture and seminar, taking place at the Haynes International Motor Museum on Sunday 24th. October 2010, where Christopher Balfour will be speaking on the ' The Racing Bristol 450's and their performance at Le Mans and Rheims ' will be graced by the appearance at the venue of the sole surviving 450 race car. This will be the first time that this car has been seen in public since 1996.

Chistopher Balfour, Spencer Lane – Jones and James Trigwell ( archivist of the Frazer – Nash Car Club ) will be explaining the details of the car at hands on demonstrations. This is a one – off opportunity for us all to be able to see, touch, be photographed with and get involved with this amazing car. It promises to be a day to be remembered !
