In 2022, Axel E. Catton’s book
“Lost Beauties” was awarded the
Motorworld Book Award’s Special Prize in a ceremony taking place at Motorworld Munich.

and teNeues Publisher Stefanie Penck.
For 2024, publishers teNeues have created a Lost Beauties calendar accompanying the book.
If you’ve never heard of the Volkhart V2 Sagitta, the Œuf électrique or the Stanley Steamer, you’re in for a treat.
In my book “Lost Beauties”, produced
by publishers teNeues and beautifully illustrated by Swiss photographer Michel Zumbrunn, I describe 50 cars that were lost for a multitude of reasons, either because
the manufacturer ceased to exist, or because
they were found on the bottom of a lake
75 years later like the Bugatti Brescia.
This book covers 50 beautiful one-offs, whacky concepts, iconic trendsetters, and dramatic failures. Foreword by Andrea Zagato. Text in German and English.
