💥 MERCH IS HERE: www.patinacollective.com/ 💥
Out of the many custom Mercedes at the Patina Collective, a handful of them truly standout. This Trasco Bremen 1000 SEL is one of them! Trasco began like many other German tuning companies... flashy custom interiors, enhanced optics... but with Germany domestic turmoil between East and West that resulted in public acts of terror resulted in a new path for Trasco. One that would go beyond bulletproof, with full bombproof limousines. This Mercedes tuner developed much of the bulletproof, bomb-roof, and armoring technologies we see today. This particular Trasco 1000 SEL was a demo used by the company in the 1980s, which was ultimately purchased from the showroom floor. Now, it shall be enshrined at the Patina Collective Museum!

From the famous AMG Hammer to the Koenig Specials 560 SEC, The Patina Collective is home to the world's most unique and influential Mercedes-Benz. We are not car guys though. We are culture guys. We appreciate these cars for their cultural relevance and the eras of Miami Vice and 80s opulence that they symbolize. The rarest tuner Mercedes from SGS Styling Garage, ABC Exclusive, Koenig Specials, RennTech, Brabus, pre-merger AMG, Gemballa, Maybach, and more, all lie within our Mercedes collection in Boca Raton, Florida. Benz culture runs deep in our blood and we aim to share with you all our passion, knowledge, and dedication to keeping these widebody cars alive. This is more than a car collection for us - more than a vintage Mercedes collection - it is a preservation of global cultural history!

In this era of 90s where cost was irrelevant & the genius mind of Bruno Sacco is when I as a child fell in love with Mercedes. The Day my Father came home with a 190e Cosworth😍😍 thank you patina for immortalising that era with all you do. 🤜🤛

Just like me. My dad came home with a 300 d w123. Like you i fell in love with Benz for ever.

Unfortunately the last era where the cost was irrelevant was the 1980s for Mercedes, not the 90s. The W140 was the last Mercedes that was built to a standard and not to a cost point and it was mostly made in the 80s with a release in the early 90s. The 90s saw the likes of W202 and W210 and the 3v engines that shared a lot of parts. Not to mention the birth of the Smart and the Daimler Chrysler merger.

Fortunately, ordinary nobodies like me can safely take the identical route every single day and no one gives a hoot. However, during my spy savvy years, I actually did meticulously change my routes and perform imitations of what I heard real spies would do to shake off their tails. Must have worked because they never caught me…

Ever since childhood, I’ve had a fascination with armoured cars. Me best moment was seeing JFK’s limo in the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn MI. They also have Reagan’s limo in there. I also once had the pleasure of driving an armoured Ford Granada. Super cool.

I didn't know that Trasco once lead the game, as today the factory armoured cars lead the way and Trasco typically only offers lower grade bulletproofing for the s class and other limousines that are also factory armored. They do do the full bullet and bomb-proofing on suvs like the g-class though...

Pretty sure nowadays you can even order those kinds of stretched armored cars with slide-up, bulletproof privacy screens between the driver and the rest of the cabin. Not to mention, there's no customization that such a company cannot do, only something you have yet to think of. When you're spending that kind of money, as long as you're willing to spend more, there's nothing that you cannot request.

Huh, new day, new knowledge. 8:36 shows ZIL-41047TB, created by Trasco Bremen in 1994 by themselves in attempt to get some orders from ex-soviet republics. Despite being build according to internal standards, they forgot to reinforce the suspension, and it quickly went to the bin. Later on these were used as reserve vehicles.
