The firm
Bristol was founded in the year 1910 by the name Bristol aero plane
company. The company built amongst others the famous Bristol Blenheim
bomber airplane which was used during world war two. In the years during
the second world war the managing board at Bristol decided to branch out
to building automobiles once the war had ended. In 1944 the first
prototype was ready and in 1947 the first Bristol automobile saw the
light of day; the Bristol 400. The 400 was mechanically based upon the
prewar BMW two litre. The BMW six cylinder engines were built under
license by Bristol and the engines were also sold to Cooper, Frazer Nash
and AC. Bristol is
still active as automobile manufacturer. The Bristol automobiles are
still fully hand build for a very select group of people. Bristol
automobiles belong to the very exclusive top range in the car industry
today. Bristol Fighter The Bristol Fighter
