The client who commissioned the Type 5 build was a significant creative influence on Auto Fabrica during the founder's education and early stages of the company's formation.

Photographer Benedict Redgrove had shown keen interest and enthusiasm for Auto Fabrica's early builds and had earmarked his daily-used Triumph Scrambler as a potential project bike. True to Auto Fabrica's ethos, the project balanced function and form, emphasizing simplicity and exquisitely handcrafted components to transform the traditionally large and bulky motorcycle into a minimalist beauty. Ensuring it remained practical for everyday use required a meticulous approach focused on refinement rather than reduction.

Upon completion of the build, Benedict commemorated the project's beauty with a series of photographs captured in his distinctive style.
