Bristol Car Company


Bristol Cars is a manufacturer of hand-built luxury cars based at Filton near Bristol, England. Bristol Cars is a wholly British-owned luxury car builder that produces on average about 150 cars a year.

Bristol has only one showroom, located at 368-370 Kensington High Street in London.

We crave instead integrity of purpose and an unmatched level of engineering perfection. We pursue a mindset that designs and builds our cars with a useful life of many decades in mind. As a result, we continue to enjoy absolute customer confidence and loyalty, which allows Bristol to thrive where others have failed. We are the only luxury car manufacturer that remains in private British hands. This ensures us the absolute independence of thought and action that is essential to our purpose.

In the current recession it has certainly been to Bristol's benefit that despite our small production volume we offer four very distinct models covering a wide range of styles and functions. The Fighter and Blenheim remain our primary offerings and to our surprise the waiting list holds strong at between 14 and 18 months for new cars. The Speedster and its new cousin the Roadster, which offers a folding top and two plus two seating, continue - in very small numbers and to special order.

The Series 6 range, although not strictly new cars as they are based on an older classic donor car, have been a great success with seven cars in build at this time. Interestingly, although the Series 6 option (using the same technology and running gear as the Blenheim 3) was originally offered only for the 411, we have two 410 Series 6s in production as well as the first 603 Series 6. We expect it will be only a matter of time before we are asked to build a 412 Series 6 and have indeed been asked to quote recently on a Beaufort Series 6 using a 412 as the base vehicle. Any V8 model can be made into a series 6.

In order to serve the demand for factory built 'as new' versions of classic cars we are currently starting the build of a 405 drop-head with an uprated 6 cylinder engine and with a steel body frame instead of the original wood. This will not only ensure its longevity but ensure that it cannot be confused with a 1950s production version. Likewise we are building our first 405 coupe being an 'as new' uprated car but with stunning 2 door coupe styling and modern upgrades to make it more capable and fun to drive. As always some of our best ideas come from customer requirements and we are always excited to discuss individually-tailored variants of our production line up. These are indeed exciting times to be a new Bristol buyer.
