I'm not a native speaker - so misunderstanding is always possible and therefore I ask for your indulgence.
Building "Specials" seems to have a long history. There are pictures of specials dated 1926, 1934 and 1946 in the book "Austin'7 specials" by L.M. Williams (first print 1958). So specials are worth to be seen as cultural property and the author mentioned that one reason was the omitted purchase tax for "one-off" vehicles.
For what does the expression "one-off" stand?
