Bristol 411 S1,1969. The best looking, lightest, fastest, most comfortable, most discrete 411.

I've fallen slightly in love with this dumpy little fellow. Never thought a 420 DS could be cute. A shame they didn't convert it back to chrome bumpers, but the rubber ones do make it look manufacturer stock.

There's a link here about it:

Mk 8 also had the one piece windscreen. Cannot tell if this one has the larger taillights which would mean Mk 9.
The future ain’t what it used to be.
