Default Coil AND leaf spring!
Very interesting! Note the use of coil springs in front. Are the leaf springs only there for "looks" now?

Appears to have the original worm and sector steering.

24K for even a modest Bristol is a very good buy. It's no uncommon for "originals" to go into the 60's-80's. I wonder if the transplanted engine actually "hurts" the re-sale? I wouldn't be surprised. This is a FINE example, but not "period" correct!
