Down to Earth
Hi Paul,
Almost every time I've had an electrical problem on a Bristol it's either been due to an Earthing issue or a cable of the wrong value.
Of course you could have a virus.
Did you ask Sid?...

Best Looker!
Probably the best looking 603 I've ever seen. You are right about the wheels and chrome trim enhancing the aesthetic result. When are you selling it?

406 engine and gearbox change
Hi Mike
Why did you choose the Rover 2600 engine and gearbox? A 406 with non-original drive-train; how bizarre is that?

403 values.
Given the low mileage I would think £20k to £25k would be about right. Restored cars are being offered at £40k to £50k. Of course the proof of the pudding.............
Good Luck

Thanks
Greg those are the best explanations I have ever read. The true meanings of so many "Clarkson-Speak" terms have eluded me for years until now.
Many Many Thanks and keep up the good work

It's the tail end of the latest ramblings of an apparently Gay Atheist; or
so we are lead to believe. Enjoy them whilst they last!

similar age vehicles elsewhere for sale. I say...
