Monographs

Our monographs are the ultimate celebration of a car or collection. These handcrafted, limited production books are unique masterworks, the perfect reflection of the subject matter they portray. The photographs, design and lay out illustrate the car as art, and the custom written text augments the photos beautifully.

Each monograph is a true masterwork, handmade, printed and numbered using sophisticated digital and variable imaging technology. The typical edition runs 25 to 250 copies, and is hand signed when applicable. Cover materials, slipcase and elegant paperstocks are specially chosen and used in each edition. The only thing better than these highly desirable collectibles is the actual car itself! We can also custom make a monograph on your car, collection, business or event.

Lamborghini Miura

 

The Miura was the supercar of the 1960s, and the SV version that debuted in 1971 was the best of the breed. This monograph on Lamborghini Miura SV chassis 5018 was a private commission for the client, done in an edition of just 15 copies. The book was created entirely by hand, with a blue leather cover and hand-tipped photo and a custom-designed layout inside.

  • Edition of just 15 copies–Sold Out
  • All handmade and bound
  • Hardbound, leather-covered cover with hand-tipped photo
  • 64 pages, 34 plates

This lovely 8 3/4’’ x 8 3/4" monograph opens with an elegant frontispiece. The concise, lively essay that follows recounts the owner’s memory of his father’s Miura SV, and the history of Miura SV he purchased, chassis 5018. The 34 4-color reproductions beautifully portray this Lamborghini as rolling sculpture, and this lovely monograph became the ideal present for the car’s previous owner, and several of the current owner’s closest friends.

"Goodfellow delivers a brilliant treatise not only on the car and the men responsible for it, but the roll it played in the evolution of the SL convertibles from 1956 to the present day. A combination of historical photos…and Goodfellow’s award-winning photography make this both a literary and visual treat."
