Bugatti Type 51 will Reserve at €1,000,000

Bonhams’ has announced the sale of the 1933 Bugatti Type 51 Grand Prix, previously owned by the late Fitzroy John Somerset, the 5th Baron Raglan: patron and former Chairman of the Bugatti Owners’ Club and Trustee of the Bugatti Trust. The vintage automobile will auction at the Bohnams’ Paris Sale of Motor Cars, on February 2011. The Grand Palais on the Champs-Elysées, noted as one of the most impressive venues Paris’ has to offer, will house the awaited car event.

Big Rig Truck + Bus + Style = Deluxe Designer Mobile Home

The trailer portion is build like a bus, while the front looks like the driving portion of an articulated truck and the interior … well, it resembles neither in the least: a plush luxury pad you might want to live in full time instead of simply on the road. A-cero is probably best known for their high-end custom home designs, modular architecture and unique approach to each project. All of these carry over in various ways to this hybrid mobile home concept. If you think about it, the elements make sense: you want the robust build of a big rig to haul you through any road conditions, the capacity-maximizing shape of a commercial bus and the interior of a luxurious contemporary condo. Pop-outs on the sides are nothing new either, but as an added element help to expand available space when parked.
