Established 80 years ago, Bristol’s Car Division brought aircraft engineering expertise into car manufacturing. Techniques such as wind tunnel testing and the use of aluminium for bodywork set Bristol Cars apart from the beginning.

In 1953, the Bristol 450 achieved victory in its class at Le Mans. The marque soon earned a reputation for producing luxury, hand-built sports tourers.
