An increasing number of people are seeking something unique for their Euro/ Dollar /Pound. In an age of mass produced conformity how many people have spent a small fortune on a Lexus, a Ferrari, a Bentley, a BMW, a Lamborghini etc., only to find themselves next to an identical model in a traffic jam?
Walk along East 57th Street, the Champs Elysees, Avenida Jose Antonio, Regent Street, Kaufingerstrasse or Al Rigga Street and you will see exotic clones of what their manufacturers claim to be super-cars. Lamborghini after Lamborghini, Bentley after Bentley and nowhere the truly unique products of a coachbuilder working with imagination.
The truly bespoke, hand-crafted car is literally an investment, as the laws of supply and demand make it (in the case of the Antas) truly individual; one will never see its like anywhere else - as the individual customer is involved in the styling/design process from the very beginning.
People are returning - when they can afford it - to the bespoke, the hand made, the unique as was the case with the better coachbuilders in the 1920s and 1930s. Bohman & Schwartz, Figoni Et Falaschi, Saoutchik, Alexis Kellner, Salmon & Son together with the Italian coachbuilders, or "carrozziere" such as Zagato, Giugiaro, Bertone and Pininfarina, and many more catered to the discerning and sometimes eccentric tastes of wealthy customers seeking unique transport.
Do you want your automotive investment to be like an oil painting or a mass-produced print? Your original Monet on the wall is the same as your Antas in the garage - literally unique and a thing of individual beauty and timelessness. Interest is being expressed for what Faralli & Mazzanti produce by those who run magazines and web sites for the discerning - Space, Robb Report, CAR Middle East, Drive Arabia, PrivatDrive, Evo, etc. The word is out. Faralli & Mazzanti have brought back the opportunity for enthusiasts to express their taste, values and beliefs in art and design,
It has been said that an Antas is a way of life. From first meeting the designer at the Faralli & Mazzanti atelier in Tuscany to the ceremony of handing over the keys ten or eleven months later, the customer becomes part of the “famiglia” visiting to see progress of the car and being accommodated at the neighbouring Villa San Marco (which was certainly operational in 855 A.D) and with visits to sample fine dining at places such as Ristorante Vecchia Noce. Customers soon find themselves becoming friends with the craftsmen bringing their Antas to life and falling in love with a very special corner of Tuscany.
"Osteria Vecchia Noce" the restaurant managed by Catarsi family.
Pampering the customer’s taste in audio, Faralli & Mazzanti will fit a bespoke sound system made to measure for your own car's characteristics. And as if that was not enough There is the possibility of having carbon fibre jewels made to measure and with samepattern/colour as your own Antas
Finally Faralli & Mazzanti have committed to a flying mechanic service: wherever the client may be, thus offering the possibility of personalised service in the (very remote) chance of problems with the Antas.
Truly a way of life.
