The retro-liveries-on-modern-F1-cars thread reminded me of some one-off schemes, including this:

Silverstone 2012 Red Bull.

The Red Bull RB8s will feature the pictures of 1000s of people who donated to the team’s Wings for Life charity.

Would this count as a one off livery?

Loved this, but...

Sad circumstances, but still a one off livery:

And the black nose-tip at the 2005 Bahrain GP to commemorate Pope John Paul II's death.

 

And while we're at it, the blue NART Ferrari in 1964, when Enzo fell out with the Italian motorsport authority.

Wasn't a one-off. They ran those colours in Japan and Australia.

This is a stretch, but I consider this his greatest win:

And for Superman:

Showing a model, for it shows the colours better than the other pictures I can find.

 

 

And, some pre-season liveries (sort of one-off, right?)

 

 

 

And if the Lola qualifies for one-off, so should the 1999 Honda, which never raced:

 

And the 1996 Dome (which never raced)

 

1994-1995 DAMS

And I don't think this was ever applied to a car, but this was the first sketch for Red Bull's F1 livery:

 

Which of course could also be said about Merc:

I still think it's a shame they weren't allowed to do that. It's not like anyone was going to get confused.

They did run that livery in testing in early 2005.

Arrows, British Grand Prix 1983

 

 

 

Arrows had a lot of one-off liveries in 1983, they seemed to be doing deals with sponsors on a race-by-race basis.  GPI for Britain, an Italian company in Italy and so on.  Boutsen for his debut at Belgium had a VW Campervan's worth of stickers all over.  About the only repeat livery they had was the virginal white at the start of the season...

Ah, you're right.

Now that's an ugly car. Mercifully I seem to be forgetting these things over the years.

The most hideous and one of the best looking liveries in memory.

[Disgrace]

I think the French Grand Prix was the only race where Williams used the "?" rather than the "Ro?" livery.

It's got a great claim to ugliest F1 car ever.

David Coulthard, 2007 British GP

Red Bull is clearly winning the ugliest livery contest.

[PayasYouRace]

Not sure if it was a one off but at least at the Spanish GP that year the rear wing had a white "Rothmans" on a blue background, rather than the usual blue on white.

David Coulthard in particular. It was his year for something, at least.

[Andrew Hope]

Ferrari ran a yellow 156 for Olivier Gendebien at Spa in 1961:

 

 

Only one-off I can think of that hasn't been posted, other than various tobacco switcheroos like Bitten Heroes and Be On Edge.

[ensign14]

There are some others; the Rob Walker Ferrari for Innes Ireland with the stripe down the middle, the Lowenbrau McLarens (a couple of different interpretations - and the all blue one was very smart), the March team in 1976 often had a race-by-race sponsor for Peterson's car &c.

 

[midgrid]

Not sure if it was a one off but at least at the Spanish GP that year the rear wing had a white "Rothmans" on a blue background, rather than the usual blue on white.

It was like that at Monaco as well.  I thought it looked better than the usual colour combination.

[Rob G]

Not sure if puke-green primer counts as a "livery", but if it does, then Jackie Stewart's Matra sported a one-off livery at Kyalami in 1968.

Didn't realise that was the reason it was running in green. You learn something new every day.

Ah, this one:

[Andrew Hope]

Ah, this one:

That's hideous. That may be in the top 5 worst liveries in F1 history.

[DampMongoose]

How about the oceans 11 jag at monaco? Or the blue and white Ferrari at the glen in about 67 or so... Or any of the Renaults with the white swirly designs from 04 or 05?

[DampMongoose]

That's hideous. That may be in the top 5 worst liveries in F1 history.

I personally think the brp green is more offensive than that!

[prpr]

Fulvio Ballabio, Spirit.  Not sure if he actually raced, I think he may have been denied a Superlicence?

Ferrari ran Eddie Irvine and Mika Salo's F399 with this special 'F1' livery during the Belgian Grand Prix of 1999.

In 1971, fearing legal action over Jochen Rindt's death the previous year, Colin Chapman entered only one car for the Italian Grand Prix (the unloved Lotus 56B gas turbine) and did so as "World Wide Racing" not Gold Leaf Team Lotus. The car ran without sponsorship logos in a gold and black livery and Emerson Fittipaldi wore plain white overalls:

Michael Schumacher ran a black (probably unpainted) Ferrari F300 around Fiorano in 1998.

Would love to see this livery for MW last race at Interlagos

That Sauber might actually be more reliable than Mark's RB9, so let him drive the actual thing!

[teejay]

Coulthards last race he ran a one off also.
