sheik's 405DH
Quote from Dave Dale on 30 December 2018, 02:33I purchased a short press article about a 1956 special order 405 DH, with accompanying photo, for the BOHT ( Heritage Trust ) in 2012. Gold paintwork and silver wheels! Must have been money no object - it was quite a sight. I have lost the photo but it is in the BOHT archive. The attachment gives the description.

Pity about the photo. I would be quite something to see it.

Quote from Richard on 31 December 2018, 11:36You can find the photo in the new Bristol Aeroplane Co. book and also in the Setright tome "The Image". The BAC book states that he also had a 405 saloon but I couldn't find it listed in the chassis list although one did go to Damascus.
It is also in an article on the Swiss website Zwischengas (double-declutch!). There are a lot of old Bristol pics in this article but you have to be registered to see them.
I can send a copy of the Sheikh's 405DH photo from the Swiss website to your private email.
