Prototypes

Over the preceding two decades, Richard Marlow sold a number of bespoke prototype and custom vehicle builds to clients around the world. These included sports car manufacturers and serial supercar collectors seeking unique, individually tailored vehicles developed to their specific requirements.

Many of these projects were undertaken under non-disclosure agreements at the request of the clients, meaning details of the vehicles and their development were not publicly disclosed.

Prototype vehicle projects typically began at around £500,000, reflecting in no small part the thousands of hours of highly skilled engineering, fabrication, development and project management required to create a genuinely bespoke, custom-engineered vehicle.
