Utilizing the latest in lightweight armouring technology, this luxury vehicle brings you a level of security previously only within reach of the super rich or politically elite. This vehicle is available on a car hire basis with a chauffeur or by using our specialist close protection officer service. Signature Car Hire has years of experience in supplying clients with a security service to accompany their fleet of prestigious cars and can now extend their offering with the addition of armoured cars like this one which give protection to the perceived threat level, maintain the vehicles original appearance and perform as a normal passenger vehicle. A company specialises in supplying bullet resistant passenger vehicles for government officials, business executives, courier of high value merchandise or for any other individual who perceives a threat to their safety. The lightweight armour fitted to this vehicle has little effect on the performance and handling of the vehicle, so the capabilities of the car will be unaffected for any hire purpose. The vehicle looks the same as the original, with only the discerning few aware of its full potential offering you added peace of mind about your security from start to finish. The lightweight transparent armour (ballistic glass) fitted to the vehicle is optically inconspicuous from the original OEM glass.
