Bristol C40

The Bristol C40 was one of the early chassis types of the Bristol Tramways and Carriage Company, which the English Wikipedia article on Bristol Commercial Vehicles says were given a C-series number before the lower frame of 1920 led to chassis being named by body capacity. The Bristol CV Buses website describes the C40 together with the C45, C50, C60 and C65 as a single group of chassis built between 1908 and 1924 with bodies by Bristol and Sankey, powered by a Bristol AW 30 hp four cylinder petrol engine, and counts 127 built across the whole group, with Bristol Tramways taking 107, the War Department nine and Imperial one. No page read gives separate figures or dates for the C40 alone, so the numbers here belong to the group.
