MosJan Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 do any of you know him ??? he most be one wealthy man to own a Bugatti Veyrons / that's if the info on wikipedia is not fake http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bugatti_Veyron_16.4#Owners Sales and service Bugatti originally planned to build 300 Veyrons over five years. In March 2006, Bugatti president Bscher claimed to have 70 firm orders, selling out 14 months of production. In response, the company is reportedly speeding up production, with all 70 cars expected to be built in 2006. Bscher also reported that 14 cars have been completed and most will be shipped to the United States. It is not clear how many are in the hands of customers.[1] The cars will be sold directly from the factory to customers or at 20 Bentley dealers worldwide. These include dealerships in London, Miami, Troy, Beverly Hills, San Diego, Pasadena, and Greenwich. Maintenance will be possible at Bentley dealerships, but repair service will require a flown-in mechanic, whom the company promises will be available 24 hours a day.

MosJan Posted August 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 can this be him ???? "Bob Manoukian" Armenian by birth, Lebanese by nationality and British by residence since the 1970s, Manoukian, 49, started his business career in Beirut in the 1960s. He keeps a low profile but we identified an asset base for him of at least 117.5m [british pounds] last year. Given the general appreciation in quality assets over 1996, his London and Beverly Hills properties will have risen in value by at least 5m. Other property, including a stud and a farm, will also be worth more. He is a friend of the British and Brunei royal families and has a Monaco-based yacht, the Siran. His main interests are controlled through Liechtenstein and include a company called Hylant Establishment; there is also a small London-based company, Vincci. The rise in world stock markets in 1996 easily takes him to 160m. (1996: worth 150m, rank 103rd). © 1997 Times Newspapers Limited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
