1956 Arnolt-Bristol Bolide<\/h1>\n
\n

Created in 1954, the Arnolt-Bristol was Stanley Harold ‘Wacky’ Arnolt’s ideal sports racer. It used British engine and chassis with a unique Italian body by Bertone. The design was successful enough to take a class victory at the 1955 Sebring 12 Hours.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the time of production, Arnolt was a major MG distributor and also on the management board at Bertone. Also having worked on the Bristol 404, he conceived Arnolt-Bristol as an out-and-out race car. Chassis and engines were fabricated at Bristol and the bare chassis were shipped to Itlay for their bodies and interiors.<\/p>\n

The car typically used a Bristol BS1 Mark II engine, but occasionally cars were fitted with American V8s. With a trio of Solex carburetors, the Bristol engine could offer 130hp at 6,000rpm. This essentially was a copy of the BMW 328 engine which was studied by the British after the war.<\/p>\n

For serious racing efforts, the Bertone bodies were crafted from aluminum. Such cars were raced by Arnolt himself including a class win at Watkins Glen. A team of three factory cars entered the 1955 Sebring 12 hours, finishing first, second and fourth in class to win the team trophy. The following year they attempted the same feat, but lost behind Porfirio Rubirosa\u2019s Ferrari 500 Mondial.<\/p>\n

Throughout production Arnolt was happy to conform to customer demands and many cars came in a ‘Delux’ form with a fully trimmed interior and windscreen.<\/p>\n
