Was that said with a wink Dorien?

The photo just looks like a typical Bristol 2 ltr.

I inquired of the seller, and the green one is 3022. Still for sale, but I think the price is about $100,000 too high. They sent me some current pictures, as I had asked for the chassis and engine numbers. They have added some yellow paint as well.

I'll trade my 1954 Arnolt Bristol Deluxe for a nice Cessna 172 value up to $40000. or a lesser value 172 plus cash difference. Mine has an Olds V-8 & I wanted to replace with a light weight Alum V-6 of some kind. Perhaps the Rover V-6? Anyway I'd rather have the plane. I'm in Ocala, FL, USA. 928-380-6786

Should have added my email address: pecosbilly65@gmail.com, better than phone contact. AB needs new paint, hadn't decided what color to paint it yet, also it's missing the "mesh" grille, but does have all the lights & also has the "side curtains" for the doors. I would take all cash, of course. My shop is so cluttered, I can't get decent pics, but have att. a couple.

I thought that all the value of these cars was in the Bristol engine !

I have heard of many owners of real Bristols buying up AC Bristols and Arnolts, only to scrap the car and take the engine to keep the 400 to 406 on the road.

I may be interested in swapping one of my 411's for a Learjet 45 or a Sikorsky S-92 helicopter or maybe even a low mileage space shuttle !

Those wild mushrooms we had for dinner were outstanding !! :-)

My apologies to Greg, I thought I was addressing intelligent readers, not snobish jackasses.

Intelligent people would be rushing to swap their aeroplane for a broken car with the wrong engine !

Have a nice day y'all
