Summary
This 1954 Arnolt-Bristol Bolide is the first of 142 examples built, featuring Franco Scaglione-styled bodywork by Bertone. It underwent an extensive multi-year refurbishment completed in 2013, including a repaint in its original red, a re-trimmed beige leather interior, and the installation of a replacement 1,971cc Bristol inline-six engine and four-speed manual transmission. The car shows 20k miles on the odometer and comes with a clean Nevada title.
