Fourteen 23474
THE BOSISTO, or Bristol Special. This was Chassis 23474 dispatched on 11/08/1949, originally registered in Bristol with NHW4 in November 1950. It was later re registered with BLH492H. The Bosisto, was also known locally as The Bristol Special. One of the last individual bodies constructed on a Fourteen chassis. Designed and constructed by Bristol racing driver and car constructor Jim Bosisto. He was a member of the Bristol Aeroplane Motor Club and was noted for his 500cc Formula 3 racing cars. This unique and unusual Alvis was powered by a highly tuned twin carburetor engine with raised compression and raised axle ratio said to be capable of 90mph. In later years Jim Bosisto was reported to be Lord Brocket’s chief car restorer. This car was advertised for sale in a 1961 AOC Bulletin. Does it still exist? The later London re-registration dates to 1969.
Jim did indeed work for Lord Brocket. I got to know Jim sometime in the 1980s soon after Brocket’s disgrace over the claimed “theft” of some of his cars, and he actually showed me around the collection. Jim was quite a character – initially I didn’t like him because he seemed quite rude, but then I realised that just about everything he said came with a twinkle in his eye and he was actually winding me up. Fortunately, he was every bit as happy to be wound up himself. After that we got on really well, but I could never get him to discuss the “theft” of the cars
