Arnolt Bristol List

[Sean]

Hi All.
My name is Sean, from Australia.
I'm a welder/fabricator. One of my jobs at the moment is "restoring" a Bristol Arnolt.
This car is in very very bad shape. (personally, if someone had of GIVEN me this car, I would have knocked it back)
However, the present owner is adamant he wants the car fixed. My problem is I don't have all the car to work with.
I was wondering how much documenting has been done with other peoples rebuilds. (photos) I'm sure with enough pix and some measurements, I'd be able to create the pieces.
I don't have the numbers on hand, back working on it next week so ill write them down.
Any help would be great.

Sean.

Most parts are available. I have a number of parts and can probably direct you to other sources. kevin

I have the car number ..... 3138.
The name you have on your list is not the current owner.

Thanks Kevin.
It's a Deluxe.
There is no front pannel, the front gaurds are hanging from the door pillars.
The nose has been cut off aswell. I have the nose pannel, but don't have the radiator mount, and I don't know what it looks like.

I have fenders, a left door, rocker panels and bumpers. There are
excellent photos of a deluxe on the web. I believe that you should find
even the radiator mounts shown. The car to look for recently sold for
165,000 and is referred to that way in several listings. It has a Nardi
steering wheel which was sold by Arnolt but not standard. Other than
that it is probably the best deluxe out there. Another good one can be
found through RM's auction of the Gene Ponder collection several years
ago refer to their website. The red/black interior was Gene Ponder's
personal touch as well as the chrome lip around the hood scoop. You can
reach me directly at kfitzgerald@fitzinn.com if you need other questions
answered.

Hello,

I'm looking for the hubcaps for my arnolt bristol and if possible the borrani wheels.

I hope that someone can help me.

Yours sincerely,

Leiven,
New hubcaps of 2 litre cars are available on Ebay UK . They are very good
quality at a reasonable price , same as Arnolt but the centres must be
modified to fit the Arnolt badge . The badges are very difficult to source .


Could you please advise chassis & engine number of your Arnolt?


There were very few sets of Borrani wheels made for Arnolts , possibly only
about 8 - 10 sets .
Good luck in your search for those and have lots of funds ready .


Regards
Geoff Dowdle ex owner of 3138

Hello all -

Earlier this year, I was contacted by Matteo Bosisio, director of the
Historical department of Ruote Borrani in Milan, Italy
(www.ruoteborrani.com) when he was considering manufacturing the 16"
knockoff wheels used by postwar Frazer Nash and BMW 328.

I've heard the Arnolt Borrani wheels had a similar style to those
used on the Facel Vega and perhaps other cars. I'd think interested
owners should go right to the source and contact Mr. Bosisio.

Who could help me find the history of 404/X3038.
I just know that this car has been kept as a spare car by the Arnolt team
(Read that in Automobile Quarterly) but nothing else
Thanks to all for your help.
Best
Chris

Hi

I would suggest first contacting the present owner.
Chassis No 3038 is shown on the BOC register as belonging to a BOC member in France

The same details are also on the list linked in Bill Watkins post next to yours.

Still searching 3038 history...
Cheers

Restoring #3004 Deluxe and need to find or make the bumpers. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Rich

Hi, I read somewhere that Chassis #3038 was supposedly stolen. It has shown up many times at Caffeine & Carburetors in New Canaan, Connecticut and it drives around town often during the summer:
