Delage D8-120 Pourtout Aerocoupé de Spark
Louis Delage cars represent perfectly the philosophy of so-called golden years of racing, the decade of 30, an age where the design of the body and building huge, sophisticated engines reached a zenith that he has not unprecedented.
Halfway through the 30's, Delage entered bankruptcy and was rescued by one of its major competitors, Delahaye. Despite moving in the same market segment, Delage cars were always in all aspects over the Delahaye, so many of their customers Delahaye usual feared was going to benefit by putting in their cars Delage logo, but it was not because Louis Delage continued to monitor the production of cars of the brand.
In early 1937, Louis Delage commissioned the coachbuilder Marcel Pourtout the construction of a special type that should be exhibited at the Salon de Paris. The chief designer of Pourtout, George Paulin, who was then working in another legendary car, the Bentley Embiricos, accepted the challenge.
Built on a chassis number 51620 Delage D8-120, the suspension was lower than the standard factor favoring further design Paulin, who was simple and balanced. No fancy decorations were used, the lines of the car should speak for themselves. All lines and curves of the body were ongoing, nothing should stand out from the total effect, to the very tail of the car. Even the classic grille Delage leaned back slightly to avoid breaking the car's aerodynamics. The aerodynamics of the car was tested in a wind tunnel in France.
The body is constructed of aluminum alloy, which provided a very light, while in the mechanical, we developed a larger version of the eight-cylinder inline engine of Delage, which grew from 4.3 to 4.7 liters, 160 horsepower disbursed and allowing the D8-120 to reach more than 160 Km / H.
The car belonged to, Louis Delage was developed in just seven months. After World War II was slightly modified, but in 2005 was returned to its original state and took the top prize of Concours d'Elegance in Pebble Beach, where they celebrated the centennial of Delage.
The second model of the new series of Spark called Golden Age is this spectacular Delage D8-120 Pourtout Aerocoupé following the Bugatti 57S Gangloff already present. This is a truly spectacular miniature, simple, as was the actual car, but where care has been taken to the last detail. Among the best highlight detail that has a very unique car registration that is protected under a glass case at the rear.

Jaguar MK I de Neo Scale Models
In the early 50's, Jaguar was a strong brand that specializes in upscale cars. Its range was composed basically two product lines, the series of large sedans began with the MK V and XK 120 sports in its different forms, so its main niche of the market was overseas, particularly the United States. Aware that this strategy are yielding good returns but If you arrive in a recession would be greatly affected, Coventry executives began to think about a new product range to a wider audience and could sell well in the domestic market. Jaguar
presented at the London Motor Show of 1955, MKI 2.4, a compact sedan that without being a strictly family car, it was perfect for daily use. Its attractive design and monocoque construction marked a before and after in the history of the signing of the cat. The lines of its body had some influence of his older brothers, the MK VII-VIII-IX, but the front was clearly inspired by the sporty XK 120, which made MK I had a very agile and dynamic. In fact, compared with its main rivals in the domestic market, the Standard Vanguard, the Rover P4 and the Humber, the MK I was much more advanced technically
The first units were equipped with a more compact version of the XK six-cylinder engine that cubed 2.4 liters, yielding 122 horsepower that gave him a pretty decent performance. A gearbox mounted four-speed manual drum brakes. Was easily distinguishable by bear covered rear wheels and steel wheels.
But the most interesting came in 1957 with the advent of the MK I 3.4 equipped with the Twin Cam motor sports XK 3.4 liters and 210 horsepower. His aesthetic of 2.4 differed in several details, like a slightly wider front grille, radio alloy wheels, bumpers surround and the rear wheels uncovered. The disc brakes were now the gearbox and four-speed overdrive incorporated a system of gearing down of the fourth gear to lower engine speed on the highway. The models for the U.S. market were equipped with an automatic gearbox Borg-Warner three-speed. Its performance could be categorized as excellent for its time because it was able to reach 190 Km / H.
Besides being an excellent car router, Jaguar MK I achieved major successes in the competition, both in the championship rallies and touring car racing in the hands of drivers such as Sir Stirling Moss, Roy Salvadori and Tommy Sopwith. But if there is one person that linked its name to Jaguar MK I was the world champion Formula 1 1958 Mike Hawthorne, who was killed with his highly modified in the bypass of Guildford in Surrey, on 22 January 1959. Although Hawthorne won the World F-1 1958 with Ferrari, his career was always closely linked with Jaguar, the brand won the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
The Jaguar MK I was always overshadowed by his successor, MK II, which can be distinguished by having the door frames finest and, therefore, a more graceful and elegant. This factor was also evident in the miniatures market, because while we have the MK II is available in various manufacturers, the supply in the case of the MK I has been more limited, in fact, until it appeared there was only Neo two available, one Minimarque Eligor and another one with a very poor quality and one at an astronomical price. This model of Neo receives a warm welcome from collectors as it has a really good level of finish. We emphasize that Neo has opted for a version 3.4 with a very racing finish, distinguishable by the spoked wheels painted in body color. In the interior elements finished in imitation of wood. In my case, thanks to the MK I close a chapter in my collection, the Jaguar sedan, having achieved all that interested me.

Alpina B7 S Turbo Coupé de Spark
Burkard Bovensiepen company founded in 1965 Alpine Ostallgäu district in Bavaria. From the outset his work involved the preparation of BMW models in both the mechanical side and in improving their equipment towards greater exclusivity. His first work was done on the BMW 1500, which gave a new engine carburetor manufacturing double own. The results were so good that even the BMW Alpina offered to the factory warranty for the maintenance.
Between 1968 and 1977 turned the mark in the competition, especially in the European touring car championships. James Hunt, Niki Lauda, \u200b\u200bBrian Muir, Jacky Ickx, Harald Ertl, Derek Bell and Hans Stuck reaped victories and championships on board BMW Alpina cars. In 1978 the mark leaves the race to focus on production road cars.
In 1975, Alpina has a network of dealers in Germany and agents in the UK and Switzerland. In 1978, all models feature electronic fuel injection, being the first manufacturer in the world to do so. Among those highlighted in particular a car, the B7 Turbo Saloon, based on the E12 5 Series and thanks to its 300 hp was the fastest sedan on the market.
In May 1982, B7 Saloon completes its planned production from Alpine and a new release. This time it was on the basis of the BMW 6 Series E24 and would be even more exclusive, with a production of 30 copies instead of 60.
six-cylinder engine and 3.5-liter turbocharged yielded 330 hp against 300 of the Saloon and sat on the same ZF five-speed of the BMW M5. The car was extremely fast, doing the 0 to 100 in 5.4 seconds and reaches 260 km / h. Improvements also Alpina affected the brakes, tires and wheels. On the aesthetic level, the S Coupe B7 Alpina wearing the logos on both sides of the car and front spoiler, rear addition to the legends.
Spark has offered since its inception miniature models of cars ready, especially Porsche (Ruf, Gemballa, Tech Art), and this year has opened a new line dedicated to Alpina, constipation with the B7 S Turbo Coupe, which means say we have a new miniature BMW 6 Series E24. With the model in hand we say that this is a really good cast and provided that, in my view, than the one we had until now, of Minichamps. To this we must add a truly spectacular finish, featuring a great body work with the logos of Alpine. Of course, no shortage of classic material details in photogravure. The interior is also more than up to and highlight the striking and pecualiares seats upholstered in plaid so typical of the 70. However we must be careful because soon appear on the market a new miniature E24 6 Series, this time at the hands of Auto Art, so the struggle to get the best E24 at 1 / 43 is more than served. Also still waiting for new Alpina by Spark.

Porsche 930 Turbo SE Flatnose de Neo Scale Models
The most expensive option that the owner of a Porsche 930 Turbo was the embodiment could apply for a front or Flachbau Flatnose type (flat nose) that made him look very similar to the 935 competition. The department of special orders Porsche (Sonderwunsch) was responsible for these conversions used since 1981, about 236, which only affected the aesthetic level, but in late 1986 began production of a specific variant and very exclusive under the name Turbo 930 Flatnose or Flachbau whose exclusivity already exceeded the aesthetic.
The Flatnose was fitting the six-cylinder boxer engine Typ 930/68 3.3 liter, but thanks to new changes such as adding new camshafts, better utilization of the combustion gases and increasing the turbo pressure of 0.8 to 1 bar, now offering a power 330 cv. The other options were exclusive Reccared leather seats electrically adjustable, and a new upholstery and dashboard instrument panel or the classic Fuchs wheels painted in body color. Similarly, the changes made were necessary to extend the engine cooling system with two new air intakes on the rear wheels. But really the most radical change was the very Flatnose itself, a front completely flat with headlamps and two air emtradas contrasted completely with the original round headlights so typical of Porsche 911. The first year was offered only Flatnose bodied coupe, but in 1988, the last year of production of the 930 Turbo, the 964 would go into production in 1989 - joined the Cabrio and Targa body, and a new gearbox five speeds, which has made this latest standard on most desired by collectors.
mid 80's Porsche was the official supplier of technology engines and McLaren Formula 1, which was particularly successful thanks to the titles won by Niki Lauda (1984) and Alain Prost (1985 and 1986). The collaboration between the two firms was made by the company TAG (Techniques d'Avantgarde), owned by billionaire Mansour Ojjeh, who facilitated the entry of many Gulf petrodollars in the Woking team. This caused the Porsche 930 Turbo the car became popular in the Persian Gulf, said the legend was informal Ojjeh himself who encouraged Stuttgart's house to make the first Flatnose. In fact, he was the proud owner of one of the most special Flatnose built. Was based on a racing chassis 934/935, as well as incorporating several its aerodynamic features and characteristics of BBS wheels monotuerca. It was burgundy and delivered 380 hp engine that allowed a top speed of 300 km / h and acceleration from 0 to 100 in five seconds. Equally and without leaving the family McLaren team owner Ron Dennis also owned a Flatnose, in this case red.
In its normal to always offer a very distinct and unprecedented in the market, one of the first Porsche that Neo Scale Models offered was the 930 Turbo Flatnose. Specifically, the model shows, in the classic Grand Prix Weiss color is a limited edition for the German store Neo Cartima and my unit is number 39 of 100 built. I'm not really collectors who place great importance on having a model with a very limited edition, mostly because I know as often play with this many companies, but hey, nobody is bitter sweet. The model seems very good, I think the very best of Neo, which is not to say the least. The color scheme is very successful and creates a nice contrast, in fact, I chose to target me because it is the best shows the contrast of the color of his body with plastic parts so characteristic of the 80 cars. The level of detail of the miniature is the usual Neo with typical details gravure made material. Their tuition and and rear brackets indicate that it is a reproduction of the copy for the U.S. market, which already has other Neo Porsche. A few months ago, the brand introduced its own Looksmart Flatnose realization of a miniature really smoothly even double the price of Neo.

I wanted to leave a time that the first things about Windows 8 appear, the first was little significant news, as the avatar of the user account beside the system clock in the area (or tray) notification. Oh, but now we see that what we call "the successor Windows 7" will be full of goodies and most interestingly, we will see either the "Windows Phone " Metro UI interface with almost all products , including Windows Live , Office, Internet Explorer and the same system.
With the discontinuation of Zune, it appears that UI imposes Metro, the first appearance of this interface was on that set and Windows Media Center in Windows XP (from a very basic way). Now we just need to, when you exit Windows 8, also change the Xbox 360 interface again, turning it into a dark green version of Metro.
Anyway, going to the video that was leaked a few weeks ago if I remember correctly, the unofficial sites, outside Microsoft are already warning as encryption of the next version of Windows began in late February this year, based on Windows 7 Service Pack 1 .

Rolls Royce Corniche I de True Scale Miniatures
The Corniche is the name of the most famous scenic route around the world, which runs along the French Riviera, perhaps the only place where word glamorous lives up to its real meaning. It therefore appears that the Rolls Royce hit full baptizing in this way to what was then the most exclusive model.
In 1965 Rolls Royce introduced the Silver Shadow, the first model of the mark in mounting a monocoque chassis. The Shadow is offered in four body variants, the standard sedan, the sedan stride, a coupe and a cabriolet. The latter two variants were called Silver Shadow MPW, the company bodywork Mulliner Park Ward, Rolls Royce owned and that was where these two models were assembled.
From 1971 Rolls Royce decided to change the name of the coupe and cabrio versions of the Silver Shadow and Corniche, being the official launch at the Geneva Motor Show. Promotion for the British market was done in the salons of London and Birmingham. The main difference between the Silver Shadow and Corniche MPW was under the hood. In 1971 Rolls Royce introduced a new variant of its V8 engine of 6,750 cc 6,230 against the current mechanics. For gearbox continued to use the GM Turbo Hydramatic three-speed.
The car's design was very similar to the saloon, but had a sportier, especially from the middle to the rear. The architect of its lines was the designer John P. Blatcheley and the bodies were assembled in the factory of Mulliner Park Ward of London.
The V8 6.750 cc fitted to the Corniche was essentially the same as the Silver Shadow sedan, but to accentuate your car more personal character increased the compression to improve performance. The Corniche reached a top speed of 200 km / h. A test of the magazine 'The Autocar' revealed that the engine of Corniche spent 23 liters to 100 on average as opposed to 21 of the Shadow. With a fuel tank of 106 liters the car had a range of 330 miles traveling at an average of 165 Km / H. Rolls Royce reveleba not then the power of their engines, so it is believed that the Corniche had between 225 and 240 horsepower depending on the different versions that were manufactured between 1971 and 1995.
With dimensions similar to the sedan, the Corniche was a large car admitting that traveling with four adults in complete comfort, and that despite being a convertible, his shooting was just as quiet and comfortable as their brothers range. As years passed, the Corniche was increasingly differentiated over Silver Shadow and mounted their own components, especially since the early 80's were introduced the new Silver Spirit and Silver Spur to replace Shad ow. Until they cease production in 1995, suffered only cosmetic changes, mainly affecting the fenders, wheels and other cosmetic additions. The last 25 Corniche sold in 1995 were a special edition turbocharged engine, one of them going into the hands of the tenor José Carreras. In 1996 he introduced the substitute Corniche, Bentley Azure and no longer be manufactured a new Corniche until 2000, in this case was based on the Silver Seraph sedan and the brand was already under the control of BMW. Symbol
glamor and economic power, the Corniche was one of the most common cars in places like Marbella and the French Riviera. It has also been featured on the big screen than among its most notable appearances include the music video "Who's that girl?" Madonna's or 80's teen comedy '16 Candles' in this case led by actor Anthony Michael Hall.
over a year ago, collectors were getting the news that the American manufacturer True Scale Miniatures (TSM) was launching a new line dedicated to Rolls Royce. TSM is a highly specialized manufacturer of miniature racing, especially classic endurance races a Formula 1, but is gradually introducing its range of road models, as back in 2006 did Spark. The first Rolls Royce TSM already on the market, are the peculiar Phantom V Hippy John Lennon and the beautiful Corniche I stand here today. To leave any doubt, make it clear that it is a resin model, therefore we see that SST is committed to quality and exclusivity above all else. The mold lines are great and very well made and quality of finish is also very high, better than similar brands in price, as Neo or Spark. Now let's hope that slowly but surely TSM is offering such magnificent creations how are you, because even the market for collectors of miniatures in 1 / 43 is very short of good replicas of Rolls Royce.
The Corniche is the name of the most famous scenic route around the world, which runs along the French Riviera, perhaps the only place where word glamorous lives up to its real meaning. It therefore appears that the Rolls Royce hit full baptizing in this way to what was then the most exclusive model.
In 1965 Rolls Royce introduced the Silver Shadow, the first model of the mark in mounting a monocoque chassis. The Shadow is offered in four body variants, the standard sedan, the sedan stride, a coupe and a cabriolet. The latter two variants were called Silver Shadow MPW, the company bodywork Mulliner Park Ward, Rolls Royce owned and that was where these two models were assembled.
From 1971 Rolls Royce decided to change the name of the coupe and cabrio versions of the Silver Shadow and Corniche, being the official launch at the Geneva Motor Show. Promotion for the British market was done in the salons of London and Birmingham. The main difference between the Silver Shadow and Corniche MPW was under the hood. In 1971 Rolls Royce introduced a new variant of its V8 engine of 6,750 cc 6,230 against the current mechanics. For gearbox continued to use the GM Turbo Hydramatic three-speed.
The car's design was very similar to the saloon, but had a sportier, especially from the middle to the rear. The architect of its lines was the designer John P. Blatcheley and the bodies were assembled in the factory of Mulliner Park Ward of London.
The V8 6.750 cc fitted to the Corniche was essentially the same as the Silver Shadow sedan, but to accentuate your car more personal character increased the compression to improve performance. The Corniche reached a top speed of 200 km / h. A test of the magazine 'The Autocar' revealed that the engine of Corniche spent 23 liters to 100 on average as opposed to 21 of the Shadow. With a fuel tank of 106 liters the car had a range of 330 miles traveling at an average of 165 Km / H. Rolls Royce reveleba not then the power of their engines, so it is believed that the Corniche had between 225 and 240 horsepower depending on the different versions that were manufactured between 1971 and 1995.
With dimensions similar to the sedan, the Corniche was a large car admitting that traveling with four adults in complete comfort, and that despite being a convertible, his shooting was just as quiet and comfortable as their brothers range. As years passed, the Corniche was increasingly differentiated over Silver Shadow and mounted their own components, especially since the early 80's were introduced the new Silver Spirit and Silver Spur to replace Shad ow. Until they cease production in 1995, suffered only cosmetic changes, mainly affecting the fenders, wheels and other cosmetic additions. The last 25 Corniche sold in 1995 were a special edition turbocharged engine, one of them going into the hands of the tenor José Carreras. In 1996 he introduced the substitute Corniche, Bentley Azure and no longer be manufactured a new Corniche until 2000, in this case was based on the Silver Seraph sedan and the brand was already under the control of BMW. Symbol
glamor and economic power, the Corniche was one of the most common cars in places like Marbella and the French Riviera. It has also been featured on the big screen than among its most notable appearances include the music video "Who's that girl?" Madonna's or 80's teen comedy '16 Candles' in this case led by actor Anthony Michael Hall.
over a year ago, collectors were getting the news that the American manufacturer True Scale Miniatures (TSM) was launching a new line dedicated to Rolls Royce. TSM is a highly specialized manufacturer of miniature racing, especially classic endurance races a Formula 1, but is gradually introducing its range of road models, as back in 2006 did Spark. The first Rolls Royce TSM already on the market, are the peculiar Phantom V Hippy John Lennon and the beautiful Corniche I stand here today. To leave any doubt, make it clear that it is a resin model, therefore we see that SST is committed to quality and exclusivity above all else. The mold lines are great and very well made and quality of finish is also very high, better than similar brands in price, as Neo or Spark. Now let's hope that slowly but surely TSM is offering such magnificent creations how are you, because even the market for collectors of miniatures in 1 / 43 is very short of good replicas of Rolls Royce.

Bugatti 57S Gangloff DHC de Spark
Until 1934, each Bugatti is designed with its own chassis to which he attached a body to suit the client. In an attempt to reduce the costs of each model, as sales of large Royale Type 41 and Type 50 were very modest, Ettore Bugatti decided to design a single chassis available with various body types. Jean Bugatti, Ettore's young son of only 23 years, would lead to the development team of the new generation of models.
The Type 57 was released in 1936 and was available in four body styles, three of them were called as some of the most famous peaks of the Alps, the Ventoux (two-door coupe), Stelvio (two-door cabriolet) and Galibier (four-door sedan). The fourth variant is denomianó Atalante, the latter being the most exclusive of all. The Type 57 incorporated a new eight-cylinder in line DOHC inspired by those used by the Type 50 and 59 of the competition. Cubed 3.3 liters yielding 135 horsepower in naturally aspirated version.
In August 1936 he presented a new variant Type 57S, the French word 'sousbaisse', referring to a new lower and wider frame that emphasized the car's sporty character . The new distribution of the axes relative to the center of the car (the chassis was 32 cm shorter than the standard 57) sought to better handling car. The 57S outfitting a revised engine 3.3-liter eight-cylinder 170 hp yielding, although more power was demanded was the possibility of incorporating a Roots compressor that gave him 40 hp more.
The model we treat is the Type 57S chassis numbered 57,563. It was commissioned by a wealthy textile merchant, Levyn Phillipe, a French-Swiss company Gangloff bodywork. In 1949 the car was sold in the United States and after several ownership changes became part of the collection of designer Ralph Lauren in 1986, it underwent a thorough restoration specialist led by Paul Russell.
Spark is a brand that we have spoken many times on this blog and so far had been specializing in sports and racing cars both classic and current. Aware of the importance of meeting market niches neglected by other manufacturers, has launched a new product line dedicated to the American classics of the 50, which we showed recently a Chevrolet Impala 59, and another dedicated to European classics of the Belle Epoque, or in the early 30's. Today we show here the first example of this new series, the beautiful Bugatti 57S Gangloff has a replica of Ralph Lauren, a model very well done and has the usual good finish thumbnails Spark, which stand out above all the ornaments made etched material. It is also very successful in itself the choice of model, little or no thumbnail.
