Photo Gallery «Bristol 400 Pininfarina - the elegant convertible on a British-German basis»
When Bristol presented its own "400" sports saloon at the Geneva Motor Show in 1947, some observers still felt that the lines lacked a certain elegance. This is where external coachbuilders stepped into the breach, first and foremost Pinin Farina, who gave the 400 chassis a handsome cabriolet body, similar to those used by Alfa Romeo or Lancia. Only a few of these special bodies were produced, the first of which was exhibited at the Geneva Motor Show in 1948. This report portrays the 1947 Bristol 400 with Pininfarina bodywork and goes into its history.
