Well…what can I say?..;) Thanks anyway for the (slightly) misplaced vote of confidence!
I love getting stumped, actually! I only learn when I’m clueless!
I’ll send some of my ‘mystery’ car parts/areas to chuck, he can post them and we can have some fun there, too!

Damn, Pauly. I woulda thought for sure you’d know this one. When it comes to English cars - and NSU’s and Auto Unions - you’re the man, in my book.

Bingo. You are corrcet. IIRC it was a 1957. Equipped with a big Chrysler V8. I’ll dig up more photos and post them.

Looks like some kind of one-off prototype based on a 405D, so that would place it between 1954 and ‘58. Sorry I can’t be more specific than that; I don’t know my Bristols as well as I ought! Good-looking car,tho - I always liked the way the radiator cowling rose out of the front clip.
