What's it like to drive an Arnolt Bristol

[Cargirl]

I wonder if you guys might be able to help me. I have for sale from a private client a wonderful Arnolt Bristol Bolide. The Bolide is in storage with many other cars in CA. I have a prospective buyer for the Bolide in Glendale IL.

The prospective buyer is not so sold on the AB's looks - However he already owns an AC Bristol, a Bristol 400 and we are looking for an Aceca with a Bristol engine so the AB is a natural addition to his collection. I have assured him that the AB will grow on him but that he should drive one first to determine whether or not this is the car for him. After all it is all about the driving experience is it not? And this is an excellent car for Vintage events.

Which leads me to the subject of my post. Getting it out on the open road might prove a problem. It is in a museum type of setting. I wonder if some AB owner's can give us some input.

What is it like to drive your Arnolt Bristol? My buyer is not a big guy - around 5' 8'' so fit is not a consideration. Can you give me some pros and cons (hopefully more pros than cons) to convince my buyer he is going to enjoy this sweet little car on the open road.

Thanking you in advance.
