Arnolt Bristol List
I made a list from my files of Arnolt Bristol owners and former owners by serial number. I'm interested in getting any up to date information that members might have. Anyone know how I can post it for review by interested parties without opening my own URL? Bill Watkins

Arnolt Bristol List
Hello Bill,
I own Arnolt Bristol Deluxe 3023 and am interested in your list. For a simple way to make it available to others, open a Dropbox account (free) at https://www.dropbox.com/install Note under the free download it is available for Mac, Windows, Linux, and mobile. Among other things it provides a public folder that lets you attach an internet link to a file which than can the be sent to anyone so they can access the file. For example, here is a link to a file in my Dropbox public folder: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7826604/IMGP7097.jpg Here also are the Dropbox instructions on how to use a public folder: The Public Folder lets you easily share single files in your Dropbox. Any file you put in this folder gets its own Internet link so that you can share it with others-- even non-Dropbox users! These links work even if your computer’s turned off. Step 1: Drop a file into the Public folder. Step 2: Right-click/control-click this file, then choose Dropbox > Copy Public Link. This copies the Internet link to your file so that you can paste it somewhere else. That's it! You can now share this file with others: just paste the link into e-mails, instant message conversations, blogs, etc.! If you'd like more help with sharing files, head here: Dropbox - How do I link to files in my Dropbox? - Happy Dropboxing! - The Dropbox Team Best, Tom Gillespie |

Thanks Tom:
I'll look into that. I didn't have 3023 on my list. Can you tell me the state or country that you live in and the former owners? I'll add all that to the list. Send them to: sniktaw79@yahoo.com Bill |
Arnolt Bristol List
Hi Bill,
I just discovered and joined this site. Glad to see you are on it and are compiling a list of owners. I still have 3094 and it hasn't changed much. I focused on the alloy 120 when I retired and it's back on the road now so am starting to get some of my A.B. bits orgainzed. I expect to be looking for some words of wisdon here in the future. Best Regards, Bill Borden |
Arnolt Bristol List
Nice to hear from you Bill. I had a call from a former Arnolt Bristol owner today who said that he still has parts. Shoot me an email (see below) and I'll put you in touch. He also told me that Tom Mittler died; it was on 13 June.
If you feel like driving over to Elkhart Lake on 10-12 Sept., there is a 60th anniversary celebration of the races there and I will be judging the race car concours. Bill |
Arnolt Bristol List
Hello Bill, (and greetings to Bill Borden)
It's been a long time. I just found and joined this site recently myself. I lost touch with everyone after Lee Raskin was no longer keeping the registry. I guess we all did. Been corresponding with Geoff Dowdle. He has provided me with lots of pictures of Arnolts and is a former owner of Dennis Schue's 3138 and also a member of this forum. I just retired and have started working on collecting information for an archival history of each car. That is, pictures and written history. I'm sure that's going to be a long time project. I still own 3071 and haven't had a chance to restore it but it's in relatively good condition, still with the Chevrolet engine (I'm planning to do something about that). And Tom, would love to have more pictures of 3023, including details of the TR engine installation. I have only one picture of the car from Geoff. I would be pleased to correspond with all of you off-forum also. John Simmons john.simmons456@gmail.com |
Arnolt Bristol List
Hi John:
I got a lot of the information on my list from your old newsletters and from Lee Raskin and Shawn Thomas. My list includes the names of former owners that I dug out of all those old files. I updated some, including the four cars that I owned, from personal knowledge. It seems that many of my friends are , or have been, AB owners. I'll add Dennis Schue to 3138. Right now I have Tom Trottman & Tom Pollard in addition to Geoff Dowdie. Thanks, Bill Watkins |

You probably have this already, however, just in case you or other interested persons have not already seen it. Charles Oxley's book (1988) titled "BRISTOL the quiet survivor", Chapter Ten - The Arnolt-Bristol, at the end of this chapter is the 'Membership 1988 - Arnolt-Bristol Registry' JEVS |

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. |
arnolt parts
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. Sean. |
Arnolt Bristol List
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 |
Thanks Kevin.
It's a Deluxe. There is no front pannel, the front gaurds are hanging from the door pillars. The nose has been cut off aswell. I have the nose pannel, but don't have the radiator mount, and I don't know what it looks like. Sean. |
Arnolt Bristol List
I have fenders, a left door, rocker panels and bumpers. There are
excellent photos of a deluxe on the web. I believe that you should find even the radiator mounts shown. The car to look for recently sold for 165,000 and is referred to that way in several listings. It has a Nardi steering wheel which was sold by Arnolt but not standard. Other than that it is probably the best deluxe out there. Another good one can be found through RM's auction of the Gene Ponder collection several years ago refer to their website. The red/black interior was Gene Ponder's personal touch as well as the chrome lip around the hood scoop. You can reach me directly at kfitzgerald@fitzinn.com if you need other questions answered. |
hubcaps
Hello,
I'm looking for the hubcaps for my arnolt bristol and if possible the borrani wheels. I hope that someone can help me. Yours sincerely, Lieven Goeman LievenGoeman@gmail.com |
hubcaps
Leiven,
New hubcaps of 2 litre cars are available on Ebay UK . They are very good quality at a reasonable price , same as Arnolt but the centres must be modified to fit the Arnolt badge . The badges are very difficult to source . Could you please advise chassis & engine number of your Arnolt? There were very few sets of Borrani wheels made for Arnolts , possibly only about 8 - 10 sets . Good luck in your search for those and have lots of funds ready . Regards Geoff Dowdle ex owner of 3138 |

"There were very few sets of Borrani wheels made for Arnolts ,
possibly only about 8 - 10 sets . Good luck in your search for those and have lots of funds ready ." Hello all - Earlier this year, I was contacted by Matteo Bosisio, director of the Historical department of Ruote Borrani in Milan, Italy (www.ruoteborrani.com) when he was considering manufacturing the 16" knockoff wheels used by postwar Frazer Nash and BMW 328. I've heard the Arnolt Borrani wheels had a similar style to those used on the Facel Vega and perhaps other cars. I'd think interested owners should go right to the source and contact Mr. Bosisio.

No access to spreadsheet
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.

Hello,
I Just Joined This Site And Would Like To Access The A-b Owners List. I Have Seen The List On A Friend's Computer But I Can't Seem To Gain Access To It. The List Has My Car Listed With Ser. No, 404x3001. The Correct Ser.no. Is 404x3000. The Car Was Found In A Dirt Floor Shed In Joliet, Il Many Years Ago. It Was In Deplorable Condition. Thanks To Mike Dicola And Tom Trottman I Was Able To Secure Most Of The Major Parts To Restore The Car. Since Then I Have Spent Many Hours Re-creating Needed Bits And Building An Engine From Accumulated Parts. It Runs Just Fine. The Car Is Now Mechanically Complete And Faithfully Original. Bodywork Is In Capable Hands At A Shop Near Warsaw, In. Hope To Finally Have 3000 Completed In The Near Future. Best To All, Ed Howell edward.howell@insightbb.com |
Arnolt Bristol owners list.
Hello Arnolt Bristol fans. I joined the owners register about 2 months ago. I own car 3005. I would like to be able to access the list. I have just spent 45 minutes trying to access this list with my ID. There is nothing I was given apparently that will access this List. It keeps telling me I'm not registered. Whats the secret?

I just know that this car has been kept as a spare car by the Arnolt team (Read that in Automobile Quarterly) but nothing else Thanks to all for your help. Best Chris |
