Mercedes-Benz based evocative design

In the ‘20s and 30s it was common for people to design and coachbuilt a car. These cars were made by a specialized company. For those people, either the factory body was not special enough or it was not available. These patrons bought a rolling chassis. Meaning: four wheels, an engine, drive technology and steering wheel. For example, these were acquired from manufacturers such as Rolls-Royce, Bugatti, Hispano Suiza and Mercedes-Benz. The chassis were then and shipped it to a coachbuilder. These companies made a unique design for the bodywork in consultation with the customer. For instance, famous examples of coachbuilders are Figoni & Falashi, Saoutchik, Gangloff, Pennock Ghia, Vignale, Vanden Plas and Karmann. Most of these companies no longer exist. However, at Niels van Roij Design you are now able to do exactly the same. Commission your dream Mercedes-Benz. Similarly to how it once started.

Certain things inherently feel special. It might be hard to say exactly why. Little design details? Heritage? Aesthetic pleasure? Mercedes-Benz makes striking cars. A Mercedes-Benz engine is a jewel. A broad and swelling wave of torque thrusts you along. A 0-60 time of just a few seconds. But maybe looking for something even more special. Something matching your taste like your bespoke suit. An experience of a high-strung two-seater with sufficient luggage space perhaps. A car that would suit your trips and goals. Maybe you want something fast, sharp and reactive. Above all, a car comfortable enough to drive for hours at a stretch. Something graceful and evocative. With secret practicality hidden under gorgeous, hand-made bodywork.
