What a lovely pair of Bristols...

How are these barn finds still coming up? Surely farmers the world over have been looking through barns to find that elusive Bugatti Royale or GT California?

411 looks the more interesting of the two from a restoration perspective - hate to think how much water has got in to that 410 over the years with the missing sunroof. Having had a full length Webasto roof in the past, I'm not a fan of what they do to the rigidity of a car from this era.

Both will be horrific money pits of rot, I suspect so probably best suited to someone who can DIY

I've always had a thing for Bristols, but then I got into cars.

Can see one or both ending up back here in Bristol at Brabazon motors where they'll be restored to customer specification. As with many they'll prob cost more than they're going to be worth to put back into service but that's not the point is it and we all know it

The company owner comes to our local events in his daily driver which iirc is a 411. He's a fab bloke and has allowed the local crew a tour of his workshops

That 410 is gorgeous. There was a discussion about what was cool the other day. This is very very cool.
