Not a picture, but a -not meant to be- très funny clip made at the Trabant production line (probably the quality inspection department):

Happier times in Bristol. This shot was taken in the Bristol Cars Filton plant in 1951. My 401 is possibly in there somewhere!

Yes, built in 1951 when the photo of the Filton plant was taken. It's an exceptionally fine motor car. I also had a later 1972 Bristol 411 S3, which I sold recently, but now regret.
