I have this as a Bristol 406 Special Coupe. Designed by Dudley Hobbs and Dennis Sevier and fabricated at Filton following initial prototype work by Bristol Coachbuilders Ltd. Registered in 1958.

That's it, yes.
Apparently the car was built late 1956/early 1957 though not registered until 1958.
The production plans for it were never followed through.
