The Commissioning Journey
Before it becomes yours, you become part of its story.
A commission begins with a conversation.
About the automobiles you have loved. The details you remember. How you like to drive, and what you hope to feel each time you open the garage door.
We bring our vision for the Z/B 4.4. You bring your own experiences and imagination. Together, we begin to give your automobile its individual character.
Giving your ideas form
A colour may begin with a memory. A material may draw you back to something you have always admired.
We explore those connections with you, considering how each choice belongs within the whole automobile. Paint, upholstery, textures and finishes gradually become a coherent expression of your taste.
Alongside these decisions, we establish the starting automobile and agree the specification for its transformation.
A car that becomes part of your family
For JC, commissioning his Z/B 4.4 became a journey shared with the people closest to him. His family helped choose the interior leathers. Alongside his son, JJ, he helped assemble parts of the engine—creating a memory that would travel with the car.
“More importantly, it’s about having that journey with my family to enjoy and be part of this process.”
His intention for the finished car is simple:
“This will stay with my family. Hopefully. Forever.”
— JC, commissioning owner
Become part of its creation.
A Z/B commission begins with a conversation about the life you want to share with your automobile. The roads you love. The journeys you imagine. The way you want to feel behind the wheel.
Those conversations inform decisions that reach beneath the surface: your driving position, the relationship between seat, steering and pedals, and the details that make the cabin feel your own.
Participation can also become something more tangible. For Wilson and his son Aaron, it meant joining the team to help build their engine. Working together, handling the components and discovering the care behind each assembly became part of their automobile’s story.
By the time you take the wheel, you know more than the finished car. You know the people, the decisions and the moments that brought it into being.
Its history already includes you. Your Living History
Watching it take shape
Behind every finished surface, people are turning ideas into something tangible.
Components take form. Materials meet. The cabin develops its character. The engine comes together.
As the build progresses, there is a particular pleasure in seeing something you helped imagine become real. Details once discussed across a table become parts of an automobile you will soon know by touch.
The first drive
Before delivery, we test and refine the completed automobile.
Then comes your introduction to it: finding your driving position, becoming familiar with its controls and hearing the engine from behind the wheel.
The choices become yours to experience.
A story that continues
Delivery begins a new chapter in the relationship.
We remain your point of contact for the care and support of your Z/B. You begin adding something we could never create in the workshop: the journeys, encounters and memories that make it part of your life.
