Back to Arrows, 1983.  Surer at Zeltweg.  Barclay sponsorship similar to Monte Carlo, but without Marilena on the sidepods.  Surer's car (but not Boutsen) also had Barclay livery at Spa I believe, but I can't find an image.

Didn't Superfund sue the team for putting all that where their logos were meant to be?

It was Wilux that withdrew its sponsorship for the rest of the season because its consent was not sought for the tribute livery.

Now that's one I'd heard of but never seen. Turns out BAR weren't the first to do that sort of livery.

Wilux had already been late with payment so Stoddart decided to kind of screw them back while honoring Walton.

Larrousse-Lola went one better - they had a red and white quartered creation for a while.  I seem to remember Eurobrun having a similar effect as well, only orange and white.

Those I knew about. It was Kronenbourg for the Larrousse (which was a Larrousse and not a Lola in 1994) and while I don't know Eurobrun's sponsor, I know it was Australia '88.

Was this Renault 30 years in Formula 1 livery actually used in a race?

Was the squared Kronenbourg design in place for more than one race?  Larrousse were also sponsored by a non-alcoholic lager, Tourtel, but I can't recall if it was the same year.  Different brands for different markets?  Was Tourtel the 0% version of Kronenbourg?

Didn't Brawn gain various extra sponsors as their one and only season progressed?  They definitely had a few more names on the cars at the final race.

While I can't comment on the actual beer content, they were both used in 1994 depending on the race.

 

Looking at Forix's photos of the LC94, Tourtel was used in BRA, UK, GER, BEL, ITA and Aus. Kronenbourg was used in Aida, Imola and Monaco.

Yup, they did - for instance, at the race when Button secured the title, the main sponsor written on the air intake hump was Mapfre, and this was done only for that particular race. But I'm not sure if this qualifies as a true one-off livery, since the base paint scheme remained the same throughout the season - and only sponsor's names appeared and disappeared on the car throughout the season. 

[Kobasmashi]

I think in Brazil 09 the Brawn sported a (pretty nasty) yellow front wing but yeah i don't think they were different enough to be classed as liveries in their own right.

Williams Michellin livery, used only in testing.

Hard to find good pics of that. Your model picture is of Jörg Müller, I believe. TomK also tested but apparently they didn't paint Mr. Bibendum on it to start with:

I think it hasn't enough yellow to qualify as an one-off.

The 2010 livery was close to this but ruined with Total's red endplates.

A bit of random Googling and I just stumbled upon this guy's website... Steven Thomas. 

 

Turns out he designed a number of the British American Tobacco related liveries including the 555 Subaru, the final Tyrrell and some of the BAR cars. Here are some of his initial proposals for the 1998 BAR test car.

 

 

I particularly like the 'BAR Belle' and 'BAR Mobile'

 

It's interesting to read some of his insights about the designs that didn't make it, his views on his perceived similarities between the original Lucky Strike livery and the 2002 onwards Toyota livery etc... Also, up to now I'd not spotted the subtle '5' in the non tobacco version of the 555 logo.

Might have been some special campaign for Kronenbourg. The brewery company was also main sponsor in the tragic San Marino Grand Prix as can be seen in this TV screenshot:
