Coachbuilt Rarities

Across more than a century of automotive history, a rare breed of automobiles has emerged not from production lines but from workshops-one at a time, by hand, and to order. Coachbuilt Rarities:One-Off Masterpieces tells the story of these singular machines, from the haute couture bodies of interwar Paris and Turin to the wind-tunnel-sculpted Ferraris of the 1960s and the visionary Rolls-Royce commissions of the 21st century. With a fact-based narrative and global perspective, author Etienne Psaila traces how designers, engineers, and patrons collaborated to turn motoring into personal expression.Whether born from competition, royalty, or fantasy, each car reveals a moment when imagination triumphed over convention, and artistry met motion. This is not a catalogue, but a living, driving history-rich in technical detail, cultural context, and visual splendour.
