Registration: VSJ 780
Chassis Number: 401/1094
Date Of First Registration: 7th March 1952
401/1094 was originally dispatched to Anthony Crook Motors of Hersham, Surrey, who would go on some years down the line to be the sole distributor and owner of Bristol Cars.
"Powered by an engine basically similar to that which has brought major honours to four types of Bristol Formula 2 racing cars"
In recent years 401/1094 has undergone large amounts of restoration work, Spencer Lane-Jones Ltd have been involved in the majority. They completely restored the engine to their renowned ’Touring’ engine specification which features the latest Cosworth pistons and a ’fast road’ camshaft.

The model
Bristol 401. Wind-tunnel honed, all aluminium.
The 401 gave the Bristol chassis an ultra-low-drag aluminium body and took the marque around the world, with the 402 drophead and the 403 following on the same lines.
