The first Bristol automobile, known as the 400, was manufactured in 1947. Not wholly original, Bristol obtained design rights from BMW after the war for its 326, 327, and 328 models. Bristol thus created the 400, an amalgam of the three BMW designs. The car was designed as a two-door sports coupe with a rear-wheel drive configuration and a 6-cylinder inline engine. The "suicide" doors, which had their hinges on the back of the door, were a distinctive feature of the new 400. Although the 400 was built by Bristol as a coupe, coachbuilt convertibles were also produced by Pininfarina. The straight six engines included hemispherical-shaped combustion chambers, considered advanced technology for the time. The manufacture of the Bristol 400 ended in 1950 after just 487 vehicles had been built. The Bristol 401 took its place as the subsequent model.
