1957 Arnolt Bristol in the MM?

The only cars eligible for the MM are models that previously ran in it. Sadly, not even my 401 can but a 400 is eligible.

But they did run - at least a Boldie ran in 55 if I am not mistaken.

Kelly ,
Various Arnolt's have run in the recent Mille Miglia Rallies .
Look a Google images under
" Arnolt Bristol Mille Miglia" and you will see Chassis 3009 running in 2010 , a grey deluxe in 2011 plus possibly others.

The only way to find if a 1957 Arnolt Bristol is eligible is to make a application . If there a number of other Arnolt's also applying for entry ,you might not get a spot .

Buy a 400 and you will have a better chance !!!!!!!!
In 1949 400 chassis 002 , one of the prototype coupes came 13th overall and 3rd in the Touring class.

Geoff I heard there were eight AB's that ran over the course of the years.

I guess the question would be whether or not this car would be penalized because it is titled as a 57 when the car(s) that ran in the original MM was a 55. But now I find that they are ALL technically 53 to 55's. Is this taken into account when you submit your AB? It must be as I am quite sure the eight cars that have run are not all titled 53-55.

As for the 400. You know I love those cars but what would it be like driving one for 1,000 miles?
