A Great Briton with a Latin twist While most Bristols were designed by the in-house team, there were a few special-bodied exceptions in the early years when Italian styling houses such as Pinin Farina and Zagato were employed. For the 412 of 1976, Zagato was called upon once again – this time for a production model originally featuring the 6.3-litre Chrysler V8, later a 5.9. The same body style was used for the Beaufighter and Beaufort, and the original buck still wore its Italian factory label as it was loaded for transport to Filton. https://www.classicandsportscar.com/gallery/behind-scenes-last-days-bristol-cars
