High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Bristol 406 was a luxury car produced between 1958 and 1961 by British manufacturer Bristol Aeroplane Co. (whose car division would later become Bristol Cars). It was the last Bristol to use the BMW-derived pushrod straight six engine that had powered all cars built by the company up to that point but was clearly inadequate to give the car performance comparable to that of newer engines emerging at the time. According to the official history of Bristol Cars, the company was working on a new six cylinder engine during the period when the 406 was in production. Only when Bristol found any new six cylinder engine it could develop would still be unable to compete with newer engines of larger size, did they decide to import V8 engines from Chrysler. Compared to the 405, the 406 saw several significant changes. The most important was that the six cylinder engine itself was enlarged slightly in both bore and stroke to dimensions of 69 mm by 100 mm (2.71 inches by 3.94 inches).
