2015 Retromobile (fevrier) Paris
Lors de lâédition 2015 du salon Rétromobile, une très rare Bugatti EB 110 GT de 1995 était exposée sur lâun des stands, afin dâêtre vendue. La voiture ne totalise que 16 000 km dâorigine et provient de la République Tchèque.
Lâémotion est au rendez-vous au Mondial de lâAutomobile de Paris, en 1991, lorsque renaît le nom Bugatti, sous la forme dâune Grand Tourisme de lâextrême. Présentée sur le parvis de la Défense le 15 septembre 1991 aux côtés de nombreuses anciennes Bugatti et sous le parrainage dâAlain Delon, la Bugatti EB 110 est le premier nouveau véhicule de la société depuis la reprise de la marque Bugatti par Romano Artioli en 1987 et la création en 1989 de Bugatti Automobili SpA. Lâ EB 110 a ainsi été la première voiture Bugatti produite depuis 1956, permettant de relancer cette marque automobile légendaire.
La Bugatti EB 110 célèbre le 110e anniversaire de la naissance dâEttore Bugatti.
Tous les superlatifs peuvent être appliqués à cette voiture pour laquelle des designers du niveau de Gandini, ingénieurs prestigieux et entreprises de haute technologie telles que lâAérospatiale ou la SNECMA ont été réunis.
Ses caractéristiques techniques lui permettent de revendiquer des performances de premier plan: une vitesse de pointe de près de 350 km/h, le 0 à 100 km/h abattu en moins de 3,5 sec. et le 1000 m départ arrêté en 20 secondes!
A cela sâajoute une tenue de cap à couper le souffle avec ses quatre roues motrices et une grande facilité dâutilisation, à moins de la pousser dans ses derniers retranchements: des talents de pilote sont alors nécessairesâ¦
La Bugatti EB 110 (EB 110 GT) propose une véritable pièce dâorfèvrerie en guise de motorisation, un V12 dâune cylindrée de 3,5 l gavé par 4 turbos qui développe 560 ch à 8000 tr/min avec un couple de 611 Nm, mais également une transmission intégrale. Le châssis nâest pas en reste, avec une structure entièrement réalisée en matériaux composites et des suspensions qui reprennent des techniques issues de lâaéronautique.
Dans le respect des traditions de la marque Bugatti, lâhabitacle et la sellerie font lâobjet des plus grands soins : intérieur tendu des plus beaux cuirs, tableau de bord réalisé dans les meilleures essences de bois précieux.
Quelques mois plus tard, au Salon de Genève 1992, la jeune firme décide dâaller encore plus loin ! Avec pour principal objectif dâinscrire lâEB 110 en compétition, lâusine de Campogalliano développe très rapidement la Bugatti EB 110 S (S pour Supersport) pour laquelle nombre de retouches ont été apportées.
Désormais, la puissance sâétablit à 611 ch, le couple a augmenté dans les mêmes proportions, le poids a diminué, et les performances déjà remarquables de lâauto se sont encore améliorées.
Des baquets ont fait leur apparition dans lâhabitacle, ainsi que le carbone et lâaluminium bouchonné. Lâambiance devient résolument sportive!
En 1995, pressentant que lâaventure « Bugatti Automobili » allait tourner court, Romano Artioli, son fondateur, décide de faire construire par les ouvriers de lâusine sa propre EB 110 S, celle quâil pourrait garder en souvenir de Bugatti Automobili. Il sâagit de la toute dernière Supersport produite, la 31ème, et la mécanique va connaître une préparation spéciale, qui fait passer la puissance de 611 à 650 ch.
Au final, Bugatti Automobili a produit 95 exemplaires de la Bugatti EB 110 GT et 30 exemplaires de la Bugatti EB 110 S puis 1 seul exemplaire surpuissant de la EB 110 S pour Romano Artioli.
Revenons à la Bugatti EB 110 GT présente au salon Rétromobile 2015.
Cette Bugatti EB 110 GT a tout pour elle: lâexclusivité, lâhistoire, la sophistication technique, ce qui en fait une automobile unique et exclusive.
Elle est dans une très rare livrée noire, Bugatti nâayant livrée que 6 exemplaires de la EB 110 GT dans cette couleur. Lâintérieur est en cuir gris.
Cette EB 110 GT nâa connu quâun seul propriétaire précédent, qui habitait en République Tchèque.
En janvier 2015, cette Bugatti EB 110 GT a eu une révision complète chez le spécialiste des Bugatti EB 110, Gianni Sighinolfi à Campogalliano en Italie. Elle est ainsi prête à rouler avec des pneus Michelin Pilot Sport sur des jantes BBS en 18 pouces.
Son prix de vente dépasse les 300 000 euros. Avis aux amateurs!

I'm going through my collections at the moment including Harry's and my rock collections. Harry had an old school case full of rocks he collected in Central Australia during a school excursion many years ago and I have collected some interesting rocks over the years too. I have culled the excess ones and here are some of what is left. The smaller ones are in an old antique box I own.
I know what some are but many I don't. If anyone knows, I am happy for them to make notes.

Card Text (transcribed from postcard): The modern and efficient water supply system of Richmond is owned and operated by the city. In this view is shown the New Pumphouse, completed in 1883, containing nine water pumps and an electric plant, the latter being installed in 1905. To the East of the pumphouse is the emergency steam plant and adjoining this are the four large centrifugal pumps, installed in 1909, and having capacity of 16 million gallons daily. The interesting mechanical features of the plant itself, as well as the diversified natural scenery surrounding it, render it an object of interest to numerous visitors.

Agnes Von Weiss and
Giselle Diefendorf Gift Set
*This is the only set that features this set of Popular Sisters - long requested by collectors.
Designed to tie in with Integrity's 2016 SUPERMODEL Convention, Agnes channels Nadja Auermann styling from George Michael's Too Funky Music Video, wearing a sexy black lace dress from French designer, Thierry Mugler 90s Runway.
Announced in early August 2016 as W Club Exclusive #2, perhaps this set was originally planned as a 2016 Convention Upgrade Set that simply wasn't ready in time for that shoet pre-order (made-to-order) window.
By the time it was announced, the set never would have been completed in time for Convention pick-up (as was done the year before).
