Exactly 59 years ago, Bristol's first car, the 400, was announced to critical acclaim. To mark this important milestone in our history we are pleased to introduce an additional model complementing the current Blenheim 3 Saloon which remains in full production.
The Blenheim 3S offers a superior level of sporting ability while occasioning no penalty in terms of refinement. In fact the 'S' model offers a number of advancements in terms of luxury and civility that will appeal to those who seek the finest expression of Bristol Motoring.
Interior changes for the Blenhein 3S are subtle but worthwhile. By arranging the leather seat pleating to run vertically instead of horizontally, the lateral support has been further enhanced without incurring any unsightly creases in the soft and flawless Connolly leather. Elegantly curved mahogany door cappings and waist rails with walnut veneered facings (a much coveted feature of older Bristols) make a welcome return with the benefit of safety breakaway mountings, along with a matching veneered wood air conditioning control panel. Tooled leather Bristol motifs appear on the front seat backs as well as contrasting leather piping for the Wilton carpets. Extra soundproofing and a revised exhaust mounting arrangement add a further degree of running refinement.
'Sporting luxury', is a beguiling combination of desirable attributes. The new Blenheim 3S takes this concept to the very highest level.
