• 401

  • The Bristol Chassis, from Automobile Engineer, February 1950. The title is misleading, because this is a thorough-going technical article on the engine, gearbox, chassis, frame and suspension of the 400 and 401. At present it is laid out approximately as it was in the original publication. I would welcome people’s thoughts on whether the illustrations should be moved so as to be closer to the relevant text, and whether it would be better to split the text over several pages.
