Autobooks-Aerobooks

Paul Breuer has been passionate about cars and drawing since childhood, which is how he discovered his vocation as an automotive designer.

After his art studies, in 1966 he tried his luck with the great Italian coachbuilders and became the first Belgian stylist in Italy when he was hired by OSI. At Fiat he designed the 128 Sport, launched in 1972, before being hired by Ford to work for Ghia, where he styled show cars exhibited at motor shows in Europe and the USA.

He collaborated with Mitsubishi, Saab, Seat and De Tomaso, then in 1985 took the step of becoming a freelance designer, creating not only cars but also boats, caravans, excavators, trains and cable-car cabins.

His 253-page book Car & design, passion & destiny has text in Italian and English, and is now available from Autobooks-Aerobooks.

Be-Seen-Screen

This award-winning safety banner has a high degree of reflectivity thanks to the Pixel within the material, and heat-sealed edges to prevent water ingress. It comes with four language cards, with Spain expected to be the first to ban the use of safety triangles by 2026.

Each banner has four extra suckers for greater adhesion, and an eco-friendly storage bag to avoid taking up space in your car. The banner is safer for drivers because they don’t need to walk back to erect a triangle, and can be fitted to a vehicle in just 30 seconds.

Be-Seen-Screen advises that buyers trial the device in their own driveways to become familiar with its operation.
