Built to Order | From $7,899 | Approximately 4-Week Build Time
The Collector takes the original B.A.D. engine table further.
Built around a genuine automotive engine, each piece incorporates additional mechanical components to create a more substantial piece of functional automotive art.
Cylinder heads, intake manifolds, crankshafts, pistons, connecting rods and other original components can become part of the design, with custom-fabricated metalwork bringing everything together.
Rather than following a fixed formula, each Collector is designed around the engine itself.
Designed With You
Every Collector begins with an engine and an idea.
We'll work with you to select the donor engine, decide which components to showcase, develop the finish and determine the right proportions for your space.
We recommend talking with Ben before ordering so we can discuss the possibilities.

Our highest level of commission. Bespoke projects can incorporate rare and exotic engines, completely custom structures, specialty glass, integrated lighting, cutaways, moving internals and other one-off details designed specifically for you.
Choose Your Engine
The $7,899 starting price is based on suitable engines and components from our standard inventory.
Looking for something specific? We can source engines from Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, Aston Martin, Bentley and many other manufacturers. We also specialise in sourcing engines with racing heritage, each telling a unique story!
Specific, rare or exotic donor engines may increase the final price based on cost and availability. Customer-supplied engines can also be incorporated.
Choose Your Finish
Collector builds are finished in one or two powder-coated or paint colors, with selected surfaces exposed to highlight the original machining and mechanical details.
Tempered glass is typically available from 24" to 48" in round, square or rectangular configurations.
We'll determine the final finish, glass and proportions with you as part of the design process.
Design Inspiration
We encourage you to spend a little time browsing the Gallery section of the webite. The photographs shown are examples of previous B.A.D. builds and represent the possibilities of the Collector Series.
Every Collector is individually built using genuine automotive components, so your finished piece will have its own configuration and character.
