The Bugatti EB110 was the company’s first model after it had been taken over by Romano Artioli in 1987. Presented in September 1991 at La Défense in Paris, in the presence of Alain Delon, it owed its name to the 110th anniversary of the birth of Ettore Bugatti and revolutionized the world of supercars. The most brilliant engineers contributed to its development: they included Paolo Stanzani, Marcello Gandini and the teams from Michelin and the Aérospatiale group. Its 3.5-litre V12 with four turbos produced 560bhp at 8000rpm, an exceptional figure for the period.
Able to exceed 340kph, it was one of the fastest sports cars in the world, and all the road tests in the specialised press acknowledged how easy it was to drive, a tribute to its clever design. Production was very limited, with fewer than 100 GT versions built. It was generally finished in French racing blue, but the model from Paul-Émile B’s collection was set apart by its white paintwork. Its owner told us why: “In its usual blue, the Bugatti EB110 always seemed a bit clumsy to me. Until the day when I was wandering around Monaco as a tourist and stopped in front of this white version in the showroom of Monte-Carlo Royal Motors. I liked it straightaway and bought it.
Since then, it has given me a great deal of satisfaction, it’s very pleasant to drive and exceptionally reliable.” Homologated on 10 May 1995, the EB110 GT was then delivered to Monte-Carlo Royal Motors, Bugatti’s sole dealership in Monaco, where it remained on display for a few months before it was sold to Paul-Émile B, who registered it new in France in October 1996, first in the name of his company and then his own name. The car was featured in the magazine Auto Rétro in November 1998. In 2001, a valuation report by Jean-Michel Cérède noted a mileage of 10,330km. The car has always been looked after by Michel Magnin and used regularly, which explains its superb condition today.
It had covered barely 18,000km in 2018 when a full service was carried out by B-Engineering, a specialist at Campogalliano, where Artioli’s Bugatti factory had been located; the work included replacing the Michelin tyres, adjusting the brake discs and replacing the windscreen, which had a few chips. The bill for the service (on file) amounted to nearly 12,000 €. It is the only EB110 GT originally built in white (Bianco Monaco) and was therefore invited by Bugatti to Molsheim in 2019 for the presentation of the Centodieci, an impressive hypercar developing 1600bhp, of which 10 examples were built as a tribute to the EB110.
With only 19 387 km recorded and in immaculate condition in every respect, sold with its original piece of luggage, this EB110 GT adds to its exceptional performance and handling its white finish, which as well as making it very rare, gives it a lighter and tauter appearance than the more common colours. Please note that the car is sold without technical inspection. Photos © Kevin Van Campenhout
