Overview

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.
