Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1954 Arnolt-Bristol Prototype Roadster, chassis 404/X/3000, is a meticulously restored example with a well-documented history. Originally raced in the Midwest, it underwent a twenty-year restoration that included sourcing a correct engine and gearbox from a parts car (the gearbox notably from one of the warehouse fire cars), a comprehensive body restoration, and a repaint in the original red.
Condition

The car underwent a meticulous twenty-year restoration, addressing both mechanical and cosmetic aspects. The body and chassis received comprehensive work by Restorations Unlimited, and the paint was carefully reapplied in the original color by the Appenzeller Brothers. The interior was trimmed in tan leather with matching canvas for the top and tonneau cover. A Bonhams Specialist inspected the car and noted its exceptional condition.
