A CORNERSTONE OF
ROLLS-ROYCE HERITAGE

Since its inception, Coachbuild has challenged the accepted idea of what a motor car is, designing and engineering limitless creations at the request of its remarkable clientele. A Coachbuild motor car transcends notions of possibility and epitomises authentic luxury.

A UNIQUE COLLABORATION BETWEEN CLIENT & ARTISAN

From initial sketch to finishing touches, a Coachbuild motor car is realised in true partnership. The intensive and emotional process demands years of synergised communication; it is contemporary patronage in its truest form.
