Rare Machines covers the cars and motorcycles that almost never come up for sale: original history, a rarity score, price context, and a direct link to the auction house or dealer. We don’t take bids, and we don’t copy listings.
01
We hand-pick every machine. Nothing is pulled in automatically from auction sites, and nothing is ranked by paid placement.
02
History, provenance, and price context are written by us. We don’t copy seller descriptions or auction photos.
03
Bidding and buying happen with the auction house or dealer. Every dossier links straight to the listing.

D-Type XKD 552
XKD 552 left Browns Lane for Kenya in 1957. It still carries its original monocoque and matching-numbers engine — a customer D-Type with a passport, not a continuation plate.

Project Dragon
Alois Ruf’s last unused W09 shell, Tony Hatter’s 993 language, and a collector’s thirty-year CTR2 Sport dream — Project Dragon is a one-off, not a restomod.

275 GTB/4*S NART Spider Ex-Steve McQueen
Ferrari never catalogued an open 275 GTB/4. Chinetti forced ten Spiders into existence — and chassis 10453 went new to Steve McQueen, who changed it to suit himself and never put it back.

Two wheels and four
