I've never found any period footage I'm afraid. The simple answer is that the 401/403 were not really suitable for racing. In 1952 for instance Tony Crook (probably THE most successful racer ever with Bristol cars and engines) only took part in 2 races with his 401.
Here he is on 10th May 1952 at the Silverstone International Meeting Production Touring Cars Race. He was 5th in that race. In the other race that day he used his FN LMR RPJ1
