ISSUE 006

THE ROAD RAT

£15.00

The sixth Edition of The Road Rat is something of a diversion as it features a theme — Italy. We wanted to recognise the suffering, way back at the start of all this, of a nation that, as enthusiasts, is something of a Promised Land. So prepare to learn the psycho-geography of Turin, the dining habits of Enzo Ferrari, the sheer brilliance of small Italian cars and a look inside the astonishing mind and archive of Giovanni Michelotti.

THE ROAD RAT

£15.00

The fifth edition of The Road Rat,the first of four we plan to publish in 2020, is a unique collaboration with designer Marc Newson. Marc is as famous for his passion for cars as for designs like his Lockheed Lounge — the most valuable piece ever sold by a living designer. Marc has steered the editorial and contributed a ‘Numbers Commission’, which embraces his love of cars, craftsmanship and precision execution. Your very own nine-part Newson if you like.
