1987 Bristol Beaufighter: One of Only 18, Turbocharged and For Sale

The Bristol Beaufighter is one of the most obscure performance cars of the 1980s, and this particular example is the 16th of just 18 ever built. Despite its rarity, the Beaufighter has largely faded from public memory, making it a hidden gem for collectors who appreciate British automotive eccentricity.

Under the hood, the Beaufighter is powered by a turbocharged BMW-sourced engine, which was a hallmark of Bristol’s later models. This car offers a blend of handcrafted luxury and genuine performance, wrapped in a design that was already dated when new but now exudes a distinctive charm.

Now offered for sale, this rare Beaufighter presents a unique opportunity to own a piece of forgotten motoring history. While some may find its styling an acquired taste, for the discerning enthusiast, it represents the pinnacle of Bristol’s turbocharged era and a worthy addition to any serious classic car collection.
