excellent pictures - better than mine I'm sure. For the petrolhead/anoraks, your picture is the (even rarer) 404, mine was the four-door 405, although identical from the front bumper to the A-post.

More spookily, mine was the exact same colour as your pictured 404, and it wasn't a standard Bristol colour either ....

I'll try even harder to find my picture now...

Edited to add:



The photo (taken in 1976) has faded somewhat - it was really the same colour as forget's 404 picture. Originally both would have had a single spotlight in the centre of the air intake - which must have played havoc with the airflow and is now illegal anyway!
