Bristol 410 Adventures: Bristol Owners' Christmas Lunch
http://bristolcar.blogspot.com/2012/12/bristol-owners-christmas-lunch.html
Sunday, 9 December 2012. Bristol Owners' Christmas Lunch. A bright, crisp first Sunday in December was the perfect backdrop to the East Anglian section of the Bristol Owners’ Christmas lunch at the Ravenwood Hall Hotel in Suffolk. The roads on the way back home were dry but the temperature was falling and after we had turned off the A14 onto the A137, bound for Manningtree, we encountered one of Essex County Council’s gritters coming in the opposite direction. There was an awful racket as it sp...Hello M...

Bristol 410 Adventures: My 1994 Restoration
http://bristolcar.blogspot.com/p/my-1994-restoration.html
In 1994 American Car Care Services were commissioned to strip me down to bare metal, repair any defects in my structure and bodywork before repainting me in Connaught Green. A previous bare metal respray was only carried out 5 years earlier by R F Fuggle Ltd and it is unknown why another one was undertaken so soon. At the same time the interior was re-trimmed in Connolly leather and this remains in excellent condition over 20 years later. 01 - N/S sill and chassis. 03 - N/S arch cut away. 08 - O/S arch.

Monday, 18 February 2013. For Sale – 1967 Bristol 410. After 10 years ownership, I am preparing to sell my Bristol 410, chassis number 410-7412, and the subject of this blog.

Bristol 410 Adventures: Keep Bristolling!
http://bristolcar.blogspot.com/2013/06/keep-bristolling.html
Sunday, 23 June 2013. 8220;I’m just taking you down for a quick MOT and service”, he said; but little did I know the Bristol Cars Showroom had taken an interest in me and Neil was speaking to them about how much he might sell me for! A few telephone calls later and the deal was done, bringing a very happy 10-year relationship to an end. I am now nervously waiting to see what they will do to me before I am offered up for sale again. In the mean time, thanks for reading and keep Bristolling!

Bristol 410 Adventures: September 2012
http://bristolcar.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 26 September 2012. 8220;Hardwick Hall, Hardwick Hall, more glass than wall”. Sir George White imparted this little rhyme to us as he was giving out the trophies at the Bristol Owners’ Club Concours d’Elegance, which took place recently in the grounds of one of the most significant Elizabethan. Whether this almost literal ‘buttering up’ of Bristol owners translates to more work for the service centre, or purchases of the yet to be announced new model remains to be seen! Cars, Planes and Trains.

Bristol 410 Adventures: May 2012
http://bristolcar.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Monday, 7 May 2012. 411s and Fire Engines. Unable to attend this year’s Ipswich to Felixstowe rally due to an engine rebuild, I was delighted that 2 other Bristols were able to represent the marque. Neil went along for the chance to ride in a fire engine (and dress up as a fireman) and saw the 2 411’s lined up in the park; Stuart Risebrow’s newly acquired Series 1 and Martin Bennett’s Series 4 (pictured).

Bristol 410 Adventures: October 2012
http://bristolcar.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 3 October 2012. Hunstanton Show Hits the Spot. Once parked drivers and passengers immediately sought refuge in the Tamworth Tearooms overlooking the green where coffee and very good egg and bacon baps hit the spot as a succession of classic car owners from the show followed suit. Final refreshments at Hunstanton were taken at The Coffee Pot where tea, cheese on toast and toasted tea-cakes were ordered from the friendly staff and enjoyed for a very reasonable sum. Returning to the green cars ha...
