Arnolt Bristol for sale

Stanley Arnolt was a car dealer based in Chicago, and the American distributor of Bristol Cars. Arnolt contacted Bristol in England and arranged to buy 200 of its short-wheelbase 404 chassis. He then commissioned the famous Carrozzeria Bertone to make a bespoke body for the Bristol 404. Bertone’s young designer, Franco Scaglioni, created a stunning roadster and it was aptly named the Arnolt Bristol. Between 1954 and 1959, an estimated 142 Arnolt-Bristols were built, around 85 of which have survived.
