Bristol was a British aircraft company that decided to get into the luxury auto market after Ww2.
ReplyDeleteNo coincidence that the Bristol looks like a BMW, as it was built with the plans of the BMW 327 with the help of BMW engineer Fritz Fiedler in 1947, and before that in 1946 Bristol had acquired a controlling interest in Frazer Nash of England that was licensed to build the BMW 328. Strange how bitter enemies become dear friends :) BMW before WW2 had their factory in Eisenach Thuringia which after the war was in the Soviet Zone of what became the DDR-East Germany. After the war BMW moved to Munich and the Eisenach factory made EMW cars for East Europe. EMW’s were rehashed BMW’s from 1939, as is this Bristol 401.

I must add the top picture is the 401 built from 1948-1953, the bottom picture is the improved 403 built from 1953-1955.
