Unique cars made in a single copy (18 photos)

Every day we see an endless stream of cars on the roads, which are not much different from each other. No wonder that some people want to stand out against the background of this metal mass. Someone solves this issue financially and buys a luxury car, while others work in the garage to turn their «swallow» into a sports car. But both the first and the second run the risk of meeting their «twin» on the road anyway.
