O Relógio Municipal é um monumento brasileiro localizado Avenida Eduardo Ribeiro, no Centro da cidade de Manaus, capital do estado do Amazonas. De estilo neoclássico e engrenagem importada da Suíça, o monumento faz parte do programa de embelezamento da cidade do ex-prefeito José Francisco de Araújo Lima em meados do século XX.

A construção do pedestal para a instalação do relógio foi iniciada em 31 de março de 1929. Quase oito meses depois, em 28 de novembro, o marcador foi inaugurado, conforme relatam o jornal Estado do Amazonas daquele mesmo dia e o Diário Oficial do Estado, do dia posterior. O projeto desse relógio foi realizado pelo amazonense Coriolano Durand.

Instalado no início da Avenida Eduardo Ribeiro, o Relógio Municipal foi encomendado a uma relojoaria da Suíça, sendo montado e revisado por Pelosi & Robert, antigos ourives de Manaus. A base quadrangular tem 5 metros de altura e é toda de pedra com moldura de cimento.

Com mostradores colocados nos dois lados, o Relógio Municipal permite a visualização das horas nos dois sentidos da avenida Eduardo Ribeiro. Ao redor dos mostradores, existe a inscrição filosófica latina "Vulnerant omnes, ultima necat", ou "Todas ferem, a última mata", significando que “cada hora fere a nossa vida até que a última a roube”.

Cartaz - Poster

After two and a half years of neutrality, the United States entered World War I on April 6, 1917. James Montgomery Flagg, who created some of the war's most indelible images, sounded the alarm for all citizens in this poster which was featured in "Wake Up, America" day in New York City just thirteen days later on April 19th. Actress Mary Arthur was Flagg's model for Columbia who is a personification of America and Liberty. She is shown asleep, wearing patriotic stars and stripes and a Phrygian cap a symbol of freedom since Roman times. While she dozes against a fluted column, another visual reference to Western classical antiquity and civilization, sinister storm clouds gather in the background.

Engineer T G John founded the Alvis company in 1919 when he acquired the rights to an automobile engine and with it the brand name of its aluminium pistons – 'Alvis'. Manufactured by T G John Ltd, the first Alvis car - the 10/30hp - appeared in 1920. Conventional yet well engineered, the four-cylinder sidevalve-engined 10/30 was unusual among contemporary light cars in having a four-speed gearbox. Beginning in 1922 and using the 10/30 as a starting point, newly appointed Chief Engineer Captain G T Smith-Clarke and Chief Designer W M Dunn created the car that effectively established Alvis's reputation - the immortal 12/50. The latter was powered by a new overhead-valve engine of 1,496cc, and on its competition debut at Brooklands in 1923 secured a legendary victory in the premier 200-Mile event crewed by Harvey/Tattershall. The production version went on sale later that same year priced at £550.
Pre-war development of the six-cylinder Alvis, the first of which had been introduced in 1927, culminated in the announcement of two new models for 1937: the 4.3-Litre and the 3.6-litre Speed Twenty-Five, both powered by new seven-bearing, overhead-valve engines. The cruciform-braced chassis were similar and embodied the kind of advanced thinking long associated with the marque: independent front suspension and a four-speed, all-synchromesh gearbox - introduced on the preceding Speed Twenty - were retained, with the additional refinements of driver-controlled Luvax hydraulic dampers and servo-assisted brakes. On test with Autocar, the Speed Twenty-Five demonstrated remarkable top-gear flexibility combined with a maximum speed of 95mph and was found to possess qualities of, "quiet running and general refinement in a striking degree".
Sturdily built and endowed with a generous wheelbase, the Alvis six attracted some of the finest examples of the pre-war coachbuilders' art, though the Speed Twenty-Five's initial chassis-only price of £775 meant that ownership was necessarily confined to wealthy connoisseurs. To put that figure into perspective, the average UK house price in 1937 was £540!
This example wears drophead coupé coachwork by the Coventry firm of Charlesworth, a company perhaps best known for its contract work for various manufacturers, most notably Alvis, as well as bespoke designs on other high quality chassis. Alvis built 391 Speed Twenty-Five chassis, of which only 62 were completed with Charlesworth's drophead coupé coachwork. This car was delivered new to one S P Parker of Chorley, Lancashire on 9th April 1937 and is reported to have undergone a total restoration to original specification in the 1990s.
While in the current vendor's care the Alvis has benefited from the expert attention of world-famous marque specialists Red Triangle, there being 11 bills on file relating to extensive refurbishment carried out during 2018 totalling in excess of £22,000 (perusal recommended). The car also comes with current MoT and a V5C Registration Certificate. Capable of nearly 100mph, this stylish Alvis Speed Twenty-Five drophead affords the exciting prospect of high-performance touring in the grand manner.

1930 Lagonda 2-Litre Low Chassis Tourer
Registration no. GC 3620
Chassis no. OH9479

Present ownership since 1983
Rebuilt and raced in the early 2000s
VSCC 'Buff Form'
Extensive history files

First registered on 17th January 1930, this Lagonda 2-Litre Tourer was purchased in September 1983 at the auction sale of the previous owner's estate. The deceased owner was a Mr Winn, an inventor, who had moved to a derelict castle in Ireland and amassed a huge collection of cars, boats, and aircraft. He was killed in one of the latter.
Once the Lagonda was returned to the UK, it was given to John Scholey, who owned Martins Garage in Guildford and had worked for Lagonda pre-war, including with the works team at Le Mans in 1939. The car proved to be seriously worn out, and although now running was passed to Lagonda expert John Batt, who completely rebuilt the engine, fitting Arrow con rods and special pistons. The only changes from original have been to replace the single SU carburettor with twin Zeniths, and to replace the clutch with a modern Borg & Beck unit. The originals have been retained and come with the car, which was extensively restored over a number of years with no expense spared.
In this form the Lagonda raced as part of 'Team 2 Litre', competing at Donington Park, Silverstone, Oulton Park, and Snetterton for around three years, commencing with the 2003 season. 'GC 3620' was usually driven to the circuit, and although never very fast it always got there and helped the team win overall. It comes with a VSCC 'Buff Form' and a most amusing account of its racing exploits, written by the owner for the Lagonda Club's magazine.
In addition to the aforementioned engine rebuild, a new fabric body covering was made by Mike Thomas while the interior was re-trimmed in red hide. The car has also received new wheels, new electrical wiring, a new crown wheel and pinion, and a new body frame, the latter in December 2011. Bills on file, including the 'running bill', total £48,796, although this total does not include bills for the engine rebuild and related works.
In the vendor's ownership the Lagonda has been all over the Continent and the UK, enjoying a cruising speed of 55mph with very steady water temperature and oil pressure. During the last couple of years, however, the car has seen little use and is now offered for sale as the owner is seeking to reduce his extensive collection. In generally very good order, this Lagonda wants only for a new appreciative owner. It comes with three box files of history (inspection highly recommended) and is MoT'd to August 2020.

1932 Riley 9hp Gamecock Sports Tourer
Registration no. VXS 956
Chassis no. 60 17033

One of an estimated 40 surviving
Present ownership since 2011
Professionally restored with no expense spared
Recently completed and in outstanding condition
Bills on file totalling over £64,000

Clothed in stylish bodywork by Stanley Riley, the Coventry marque's pre-war offerings were among the world's finest small-capacity sporting cars. This was due in no small part to Percy Riley's 9hp engine. Introduced in 1926, this 1,087cc twin-camshaft four was an outstanding design by any standards, various versions powering Rileys until 1957. Right from the start it was obvious that the 9hp Riley engine possessed enormous potential as a competition unit, and at Brooklands J G Parry-Thomas and Reid Railton were the first to demonstrate just how good it was. The success of their racer led to a production version, the Speed Model, which would turn out to be merely the first in a lengthy series of memorable Riley sports cars. 1929 saw the introduction of the MkIV chassis featuring wider front/rear track and much larger brakes than hitherto. Models available were the Monaco saloon, Biarritz saloon, fabric-bodied four-seat tourer and a brace of coachbuilt tourers. The next significant step forward was made for 1932 with the introduction of the 'Plus Ultra' dropped chassis frame, which increased the body's interior space and improved ingress/egress for both driver and passengers. Priced at £298, the stylish Gamecock sports two-seater made its debut on this new frame.
One of around 40 surviving, this Riley Gamecock was purchased at an auction in 2011 as a mostly complete restoration project having been off the road in storage for many years. The vendor then commissioned a full no-expense-spared restoration to original specification, which was entrusted to marque specialists Blue Diamond Riley Services (Ian Gladstone) and coachbuilder Ian Pitney. The rebuild commenced with straightening and repainting the chassis, which was then despatched to Blue Diamond while Ian Pitney constructed a new body.
A new windscreen and bonnet had to be made, but the rest of the body was copied from the original components. Trimmer James Sexton built new seats, glove boxes, interior, boot, etc. The original magneto ignition and Rotax electrics were reinstated, with many of the parts required sourced via Ashridge Automobiles. Restoration photographs and related bills totalling circa £64,000 are on file together with a Riley Register report stating that the chassis, gearbox, axles, and steering gear are of correct pattern, and that the new body is to the manufacturer's original specification. Of correct type, the replacement engine dates from 1931 and has been rebuilt around a new cylinder block. Expertly restored to the highest standards and MoT'd to September 2020, this beautiful Riley Gamecock is ready to enjoy.
