Made in Britain : Monaco Mercedes a luxury custom ride

At Monaco by Stanford we convert all of our Monaco Sprinters here in the UK. From design to build, the whole process takes place at our Essex based facility. Each Monaco Sprinter is handcrafed entirely by our specialist Monaco conversion team which consists of highly-experienced individuals. When we require bespoke features, we attempt to work with British companies in order to create unique items. We like to visit our collaborators in person to get a feel for the quality of their work before we even consider using anything in our Monaco Sprinters. Very few components are sourced from overseas supplier, however this can occasionally be essential to meet our clients specific requests. Components that we do source from abroad are all tested to meet UK safety legislation.

We also like to invite our clients to our facility, giving them the opportunity to view Monacos in build. With this, clients are able to feel materials, look at design options and hand pick every feature of their custom Monaco Sprinter.

Luxury Mercedes Sprinter conversions were originally unavailable in the UK as they were mainly designed in the United States or Turkey. With nothing in the UK market close to competing with this, we wanted to design a truly luxurious vehicle with an understated elegance.

Developing a Monaco Mercedes 

Even though we have been converting vehicles for almost 25 years, introducing bespoke passenger carrying Monaco Sprinters and V-Classes to the UK was always going to be a challenge. With strict UK legislation concerning passenger safety in converted vehicles, each conversion needs to meet specific requirements and has to undergo a thorough inspection from the DVSA known as an IVA Test.

We developed the Monaco by Stanford brand over a period of five years. We took our time to develop and research in detail, and with our existing knowledge of accessible and passenger carrying conversions, we evolved our techniques to create the finest in luxury and comfort. All of our Monaco conversions are converted to the highest UK safety standards and are fully tested. Each vehicle is also supplied with a certificate to prove that it meets all standards and to state it’s legal passenger carrying status.

Custom Mercedes Sprinter and V-classes in Africa, Asia, Europe, Australasia and more…

Although we are proud to design our vehicles in the UK it does not mean that we design them purely for the UK market. The process of a Monaco Sprinter makes them ideal for both home and abroad clients. You can experience a Monaco ride anywhere in the world, we design it specifically for your city. We can convert left-hand drive vehicles, and if you’re planning on going off road we can even supply a 4x4 Monaco Sprinter! Designed to meet your environment, we have a variety of different options for you to choose from. Contact us today to find out more.
