The story
The Bristol 405 was a British luxury car produced by Bristol Cars from 1954 to 1958. It was available in two body styles: a four-door saloon and a two-door convertible. The 405 was notable for its aerodynamic design and advanced engineering for its time.
History
The Bristol 405 was developed as a successor to the Bristol 404, with a focus on providing a more spacious and comfortable vehicle. It was the only four-door car produced by Bristol during the 1950s and featured a lightweight aluminum body. The 405 was powered by a 2.0-liter inline-6 engine, which was derived from BMW's pre-war designs. The car was well-received for its performance and handling, appealing to a niche market of discerning buyers.
