With the advent of the motor car in the early twentieth century, the tradition of Coachbuilding evolved, allowing customers to commission often one-off vehicles that reflected their personal tastes.

Rather than purchasing a complete automobile, buyers would often acquire a rolling chassis from a manufacturer, comprising the engine, transmission, and mechanical components, before entrusting it to a specialist coachbuilder or carrozzeria to design and construct a bespoke body

special Projects

When approaching a Coachbuild project idea, each commission is carefully discussed with clients to ensure the finished design and quality of finish matches both the bespoke vision, and the original brief.

Using years of knowledge built up through my automotive design and restoration background, I always look for ways in which to show off a vehicle in the best light appropriate to the Era of the car. Be it Vintage, a classic restomod or total redesign of a modern vehicle.

The design a one off project is often an evolution of ideas, as well as a development process. Until the point where a design is signed off and full sized modelling/manufacture begins, almost anything can be changed or evolved.

  CREATING  

       THE VISION        

Every project offers often unexpected opportunities. A coachbuilt vehicle is the ultimate expression of you as our customer. Whatever it is that inspires you – we can channel this into a project, being it a custom interior design or one off coachbuild project.

Creating a bespoke ‘one off’ Coachbuilt car is the ultimate expression of individual taste and luxury. This can take the form of full ‘One-Off’ bodywork, or simply bespoke trim and wheel design. Bringing ideas to life, is the essense of what we do.

To get there, the process starts with hand sketching, through to Clay, and CAD modelling with A Class surfacing before prototyping and manufacture. We can also modify cars with suitable engineering developments tailored for a bespoke build or Racing/Road or Rally use. This can be a great way to build a car properly that you can rely on whilst matching specification, tastes and design for the the intended use

DEVELOP & MANUFACTURE

During the design development phase, together with our partners and suppliers, we work to analysis and develop the final design from surface quality through to material choices to the highest standard. We explore and take desicions on appropriate manfauctauring techniques across the breadth of manufacturing tasks involved with nay project. For example either hand wheeled Aluminium, or moulded Carbon Fibre. And decidions Ultimately, this leads to a final result

THE FINAL RESULT

Be it a personal commission of a car in your collection, or simply a gift for a loved one of a dream vehicle, you can be sure I’ll have put the utmost care and passion into making the commission a success.
