Bristol 401 'Mitchell Special'

I'd not heard of this car before I saw it at the SeeRed meeting at Donington Park in May 2011, but it's the Mitchell Special, based on an early 1950s Bristol 401 and you can read about it here. It was driven in the Pre-1961 Sports & GT Cars race by the builder of the car, Andrew Mitchell, and I took the photograph below during that race at McLeans Corner.
I would have liked to have included here a photograph of the standard Bristol 401, but on looking through my photographs it seems that I've never actually taken a photograph of one, nor of the virtually identical Bristol 403.
