Scaglione 's' - A Modern Interpretation

[UK6]

Dear Bristol Enthusiasts,
I have read with interest the healthy discussion about styling upgrades and proposed new "Bristols".

How does this sound....
A modern interpretation of Franco Scaglione's striking Arnolt shape on modern running gear ...... carbon fibre shell on 406 chassis,fighter 'T' chassis or your own!

Hopefully this idea isn't as outrageous as it may at first appear- recall how appealing the classic AC and Morgan shape is to their respective devotees!

Regards to all,

Brett

Well, there is the Blenheim Speedster.
While it may not look like an Arnolt, it's stilistically from the same design epoch.

Gruß,
Markus

Looks like a 405 drophead to me, minus a proper windscreen.

I'm sure it was just called the Bristol Speedster when it first appeared. Don't know why they tacked on Blenheim moniker because it bears no resemblance to a Blenheim, externally at least.

Probably because the drivetrain is the same.
