MERCEDES-AMG COACHBUILDING

Coachbuilders – the classic companies

A coachbuilt body is the British English label for the coachbuilder’s product. The standard term in North American English is custom body. In French carrossiers, in Italian carrozzeria. Similarly, in German Karosseriebauer and in Spanish carroceros. In other words, coachwork is the body of an automobile. As a coachbuilder Niels van Roij Design envisions and manufactures bodies for passenger cars. Since the dawn of the automobile custom or bespoke coachbuilt bodies were made. Craftspeople fitted the bodies to a rolling chassis. To clarify, these companies had previously often built bodies for horse-drawn carriages. Unibody or monocoque design replaced separate coachbuilt bodies. These combined chassis and body structures. The transformation happened in the middle years of the 20th century. Hand-assembled by Niels van Roij Design, your limited-edition Mercedes-AMG could be a celebration of the Mercedes-AMG bloodline.

Exclusive woods bookmatched

Bookmatching is the process of coordinating two wood surfaces. This means two neighboring surfaces mirror each other. As a result, this gives the effect of an opened book. In addition, both veneer or solid wood can be bookmatched. The technique is used to beautify objects. For instance furniture, violins and the interiors of your coachbuilt Mercedes-AMG. The two adjoining surfaces are made from the same wood material. Consequently, this ensures they have exactly the same presence. To clarify, the finished article varies with the figure of the chosen wood. From very subtle, making the two surfaces appear almost to be a single piece of timber. Or a more outspoken and striking effect. We can even show a curved grain, as in high-end guitars. Above all, marble or other patterned gem can also be bookmatched for your Mercedes-AMG. Most importantly, this is ultimate luxury. Everything is possible for your Mercedes-AMG.
