my old 408 FPF 678 B
I often wonder what happened to the 408 I owned many years ago. I saw it from time to time rather posher than when it was in my hands, but last time I came across it — more than a decade ago — it was...

David,
Sorry, I cannot remember whether it was Wheelskins as it was a couple of decades ago, but the one I purchased from the US for my 408, for the same reason as you require one, was perfect and fitted...

Sad news indeed. A genuinely helpful and entertaining character who had much knowledge and combined this with a very practical attitude to keeping one's Bristol on the road.

Robert,
Good luck with your search. I used my 412 daily in the late 1990s and early 2000s and greatly enjoyed using it as my daily transport.
To add to what others have said, the Zagato design...
