Bristol Blenheim Series 3

Styled by Bristol Cars Ltd to provide "dignified express travel for four six-foot persons and their luggage" this Blenheim certainly delivers on all counts.  The 5.9 litre Chrysler fuel injected V8 engine hums away and at 70 mph it's hardly stressed, turning over at only 1700 rpm.  The massive torque available will go on to propel the car to (a theoretical) 150mph.  In its attractive dark metallic blue colour with contrasting champagne hide trim and deep bucket seats, the car looks as well as it performs.

This car has a very full history file showing much early service history with Bristol Cars Ltd and subsequently with Bristol Specialists.  In addition to service work and routine maintenance, the principal repair has been the installation of a rebuilt gearbox in Jan 2024.

The car is in first class running order and is a delight to drive.
