Our Take:
- Rarity and Production: The 1952 MG Arnolt is a rare gem, indeed. With only 103 produced, and this specific car being one of just 67 coupes, it’s no wonder that it's considered a treasure by collectors. What's more intriguing? There are only 28 known examples still in existence, making it a truly scarce find in the automotive world.
- Design Heritage: This beauty was crafted in Torino, Italy, by the famed coachbuilder Bertone, whose designs have always been a cut above the rest. The combination of aluminum and steel in its body not only contributed to its unique aesthetics but also provided a lightweight advantage, a hint of racing pedigree in a grand touring package. A little design digression: Bertone was also responsible for several Lamborghini models, including the iconic Miura—talk about an impressive resume!
- Cultural Nickname: Often referred to as the "baby Ferrari," the MG Arnolt captured the imagination of enthusiasts and luxury-seekers alike. This nickname wasn't just a fluke; it reflected the car's sporty demeanor and stunning Italian styling. Can you picture the appeal this must have had back in the 1950s when Ferraris were the dreams of the select few?
- Unique Features: This Arnolt stands out with its rare Marchal headlights and fog lamps, which are highly sought-after among collectors for their period authenticity and functionality. The interior features leather—something to appreciate while cruising—is tempered with the rare luxury of a heater. In the early '50s, having a heater wasn't just a comfort; it added a layer of year-round usability that enthusiasts couldn’t resist.
