Description

The Bristol 403: A Design Icon of British Motor Manufacturing First introduced in 1953, the Bristol 403 made an instant impact with its smooth aerodynamic shape, becoming a design icon of British motor manufacturing. This book provides a concise history of the development of the Bristol 403, including the background of the famous Bristol Aircraft Company and its decision to enter car production. The Bristol 403 was produced to aircraft standards, benefiting from aeronautical windflow design, which resulted in the aerodyne models, of which the 403 was the leading exponent. The combination of the Bristol engine, unique aerodynamics, and excellent build quality made the Bristol aerodynes effective contenders in motor sport, with notable successes in the Monte Carlo Rally, the Tulip Rally, and the Daily Express Production Touring Car Championships at Silverstone. This book offers valuable insights into owning and driving a Bristol 403 model, accompanied by exclusive illustrations of the car.
