Monceau Automobiles

A quiet form of luxury

Defined by craftsmanship and engineering

Luxury doesn’t need to shout. It can be found in exceptional craftsmanship, thoughtful details, effortless performance and in the way something simply feels right.

A Monceau brings together the timeless beauty and character of iconic German classics with the smooth, silent power of a modern electric drivetrain. The result is a driving experience that feels calm, refined and remarkably natural, preserving the charm of classic motoring while adding a new level of comfort, usability and sophistication.

A quiet form of luxury, created to be enjoyed for generations.

We are Monceau Automobiles

Monceau Automobiles creates bespoke electric classic cars based on some of the most iconic Mercedes-Benz models ever built. We combine high-end classic car restoration and craftsmanship with our proprietary electric drivetrain and modern EV technology, while preserving the timeless design, character and elegance of the original car.

Our electric Mercedes-Benz classics offer smooth performance, instant torque, modern charging capabilities, improved reliability and low routine drivetrain maintenance, creating a refined driving experience that feels both classic and contemporary.

We currently specialise in Mercedes-Benz models from the 1960s to the 1980s, including the R107 eSL Roadster, C107 eSLC Coupé and W111 eSE Coupé and Convertible. Each Monceau is fully restored and individually configured to the client’s specifications.

We are currently also working on an electric drivetrain for future classic 4×4 models and for selected projects, we can also explore bespoke electric conversions of other significant classic vehicles.

Restoration

Craftmanship

Restoration is more than preservation. It is the meticulous reconstruction of a classic to the highest standards, with respect for its original design, materials and character.
Every Monceau begins with a complete bare-metal restoration. The vehicle is carefully dismantled, inspected and rebuilt from the ground up. Each component is restored, refinished, rebuilt or replaced where necessary, while specialist craftsmanship is applied to areas such as bodywork, paint, chrome, wood and interior trim.
At the same time, the car is re-engineered around our proprietary electric drivetrain. This integration is carried out with the same attention to detail as the restoration itself, ensuring that new technology becomes a natural part of the car rather than an addition to it.
The result is a timeless classic that retains its original elegance and soul, while offering the quality, reliability and usability required to be driven, enjoyed and cherished for decades to come.

Reverse Engineering the Past to create the Future.

Technology

Best-of-Breed

Driving should be a pleasure. Even more so in an iconic classic with a spirited electric powertrain. By combining the heritage, emotion and elegance of iconic German classics such as the W107 and W111 with the smooth performance, instant response and refinement of a modern electric drivetrain, we create cars that feel both familiar and entirely new.

At Monceau Automobiles, we believe timeless design deserves the best technology. That is why we use carefully selected, brand-new components from leading manufacturers, combined with proprietary engineering, software and vehicle controls developed specifically for our cars.

The result is a fully integrated system that enhances performance, refinement and usability while preserving the character of the original classic.
