Every car drawn here is one still on the register. Pick variants on the left to colour them in.
By year
All 26 surviving Bristol 405 cars, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. DVLA records a build year for only 19 of them; the rest are registered without one and cannot be placed on the year-built bars.
Cars joining a UK register each year, and how many of that year's arrivals are still registered now (the darker part of each bar). For an import this is the year it arrived, not the year it was built. DVLA's first-registration series starts in 2001, well after the Bristol 405 was being sold new, so these are almost entirely imports rather than the car's original sales.
