Early 1990s Mercedes Armoring?
I know that Mercedes has offered factory armored cars for years, but couldn't find much detail about the levels of armoring offered as an option on cars in the early 1990s. (I just did some online searching.)
Does anyone have a quick break-down of the levels of armoring offered in the 1990s? Along with some of the details, like materials used, to achieve those levels? I can find information on the later model armoring, so I don't need that, but would appreciate any insight/info on the earlier cars. Thanks in advance for any input. --Joe |

Don't know if this will help, but I had some dealings in the early 1990's with a company that did (as far as I understood it then) all of the armour plating for Mercedes. That company was known as "Trasco" and is based in Bremen, Germany.
The other company that did some work for Mercedes on armour plating was "H & S" based in Lehrte, Germany. As far as I know the armour plating offered by Mercedes was always outsourced—principally to Trasco—but I could be wrong in this. Hope this helps.
