It's a long time since I saw Inspector Linley, but it's definitely a 400 -
actually a 410. See:

Bristols are rare even over here. They were a spin off from the old Bristol
Aircraft Company and have only ever made in small quantities and mostly to
order. The earlier models were based on BMW designs obtained as "spoils of war",
later cars received larger lumps of iron mostly Chrysler I seem to recall.
They were once described as "gentlemen's expresses", which sums up the majority
of the production wonderfully

I must say I've always had a longing for a Bristol!
