After the war, manufacturing and selling high-quality motor cars was still an elegant business, and being called to fit one's components in the products of one of Britain's most exclusive cars was considered a honor. Small wonder that the manufacturers of discrete componets were eager to let their customers know that a Marque as highly regarded as Bristol, with their noble aeronautical ancestry, chose their parts for their new, sophisticated 401 and 403 |
