1953 Bristol 404 Navigation
This is the first Bristol 404 built and one of only 52 examples in all. It was used as the development car for the model and later owned by Sir George White, the managing director at Bristol Cars, an associated company of Bristol Aeroplane Company in England. Designed as a sports model stablemate for the bigger 403, the 404 was founded on a short eight-foot wheelbase, powered by 2-liter engine, and received the unusual addition of a jet-like tailfin for improved aerodynamics. This quintessentially British sports car has resided in the U.K. its entire life, and when reviewed by Motor Sport magazine in 1953, Bill Boddy said of this Bristol 404, 'I am in the happy position of having very little with which to find fault.'
