Introduced in late 1963 for the 1964 model year, the Bristol 408 was mechanically identical to its predecessor the 407 which had been a major departure from all earlier Bristols. Powered by the same Chrysler V8 and with the same automatic transmission, Styling changes featured a frontal styling with a rectangular grille with pronounced horizontal bars and spotlights.
Unusually for a Bristol model the 408 was revised as a Mark II during 1965, the engine capacity was increased to 5200cc (318 cu in) Chrysler V8 Due to safety concerns, the push-button layout of the automatic transmission was modified through the use of a safety lever to prevent an unwary person moving the car out of "Park". There were also rectangular instead of circular push-buttons for the gear selector in this version of the car. The transmission itself was now of cast alloy and was over 30 kilograms (66 lb) lighter than that of previous eight-cylinder Bristols.
