Bristol production started in 1946 with the 400 model and went on to include in 1949 the highly prized 402 - an elegant touring convertible. The 405 was produced in 1954 - the only 4-door Bristol ever made. With only seven made of the 406 Zagato, some of which had the more powerful 110S engine, making this car very desirable. These models were followed by the 407, 408, 410, 411, Beaufighter (the first British car to be turbocharged), 603E/603S, and Britannia, ending in 1993. Next was the Blenheim and now the Fighter which are being produced today.
