Historic British coachbuilder to produce new bespoke cars
The atelier will build original contemporary cars in ultra-low volumes, with about 60 craftsmen and specialists serving international private clients.
On Thursday, August 6, 2026, historic coachbuilder Thrupp & Maberly relaunched in Coventry, England, as an atelier dedicated to creating highly bespoke motor cars for an international clientele.
Established through a partnership between Brendan O'Toole and Lars Carlstrom, the firm combines decades of specialist automotive craftsmanship with international industrial experience to focus on exclusivity and timeless design.
A dedicated team of approximately 60 craftsmen and specialists is currently developing the company's inaugural commission, designated internally as Project Mayfair, an ultra-bespoke vehicle combining refined proportions with modern engineering.
The atelier avoids heritage replicas, instead creating original contemporary motor cars that honor the traditions of British coachbuilding while embracing modern materials and technology.
Positioned to serve growing international demand for ultra-bespoke luxury motor cars, Thrupp & Maberly will announce further details regarding its contemporary grand touring programme later this autumn.
