BRDC Silverstone lunch Saturday 5th April 2025

This event is fully booked so just for information

Warwick Banks is hosting a private lunch for BODA members and other Bristol car owners. It will be held at the BRDC Clubhouse, Silverstone on Saturday 5th April 2025.

This follows the similar events over the past five years, commemorating 100 years since the birth of Tony Crook (2020), the launch of “Aero-Dynamic”, by Simon Charlesworth in 2022, 2023’s event marking 70 years since the Bristol 403 and 404 were launched and last year when we marked 70 years of the 405.

At the London Motor Show of 1975 Bristol announced the launch of the 412 which went on to be the basis for the 412S2, the Beaufort and of course the mighty Beaufighter. The 412 was the first production convertible since the 405 and, although the looks didn’t appeal to all, the basic design by Zagato was to serve Bristol over the next 18 years and about 100 cars were produced. Those owners who know about the cars and understand the design are generally very loyal to the model. 20 plus years ownership periods are frequent. The versatility of the convertible, hard top options, performance and the improved handling from earlier cars are much appreciated by their owners.
