Bristol 410
The Bristol 410 was a two-door sedan version of the British car manufacturer Bristol Cars Ltd.. , Which was produced from 1967 to 1969.
Model history
In the 1960s, Bristol pursued a policy of development in small steps. The vehicles were continuously - usually in a two -year cycle - improved, but without making significant external or conceptual changes; the company used that connection to Constance. Accordingly, unveiled in the autumn of 1967 Bristol 410 in turn differed only in details from its predecessor.
The main difference concerned the design of the front end. She was a total aerodynamic. The grille now went over the entire width of the vehicle, the headlights were recessed integrated into the fenders. The technique of the car was again changed only in details. There were smaller wheels, lowered through the center of gravity of the car and the agility is increased. In addition, the braking system has been revised, and the gear shift lever was a traditional in the center console area, as the operation previously used by press studs had proven risk of accidents. The power steering, which seems to be an extra charge-requiring, was now part of the standard equipment.
The selling price of the Bristol 410 amounted at its launch in the autumn of 1967 to 5600 British pounds.
In the nearly two years of production originated 79 copies of the Bristol 410
