I took this photograph at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 2000, and I presume that the cars belong to members of the Bristol Owners' Club.
From the left the cars are:
SMT 259 - A 1947 Pininfarina bodied Bristol 400 Cabriolet with the inline 6-cylinder 1,971cc Bristol engine and 3 SU carburettors.
1951 BT - This is a Bristol 401 with bodywork by Beutler Brothers of Switzerland. It also has the 1,971cc Bristol engine, and I've seen it's year of manufacture given as 1950, 1951 and 1953. The DVLA record says 1953.
265 HYL - This is the standard Bristol 400 and is a 1949 model, again with the 1,971cc BMW-derived Bristol engine.
