Bristol Cars, which entered liquidation in 2020, is to make a comeback after the firm announced a new pure-electric model, dubbed the Buccaneer, is scheduled for production in 2025.
Ahead of that, the company will produce remastered versions of the Bristol Fighter, Speedster and 411 Series 8, fitting each with a modern 6.4-litre Chrysler Hemi V8 and eight speed ZF automatic gearbox.
Eight remastered cars, priced at £495,000 plus VAT will be built, with work beginning this year at the firm’s traditional home in Filton, Bristol.
