Arnolt Bristol List

Sean · #1 (**permalink**) 23-07-10, 12:47 PM

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

This thing is so bad that I don't even know what parts are missing.
I would really like lots of detailed photos of the shell of the car. Inside engine bay, and inside the cocpit.

There are good pictures on the internet. It does matter if it is a
Deluxe or a Bolide. The deluxe has a door button on the outside, the
bolide has no external features except relating to the fixing of a
convertible top and side screens. The bolide dash has all the gauges in
a row, the deluxe has an instrument cluster. You can find suitable
photos also on this site of several bolides. Kevin

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

Sean: If you will tell me the current owner of 3138, I will update the list. Bill Watkins

The Arnolt Bristol List spreadsheet is updated. It can be found at:

Bill,
When I try to access the spreadsheet (which is located at googledocs), it says I don't have permission from the owner to access it (even though I am signed in). The program allowed me to send the spreadsheet owner a request for access. However, I'm sure you didn't intentionally restrict access.

John: Bob Schmitt set up the spreadsheet using the data that I had placed on this forum. I'll ask him to clarify the means to access it.
