Why original factory armor — a buying guide
If you want to buy a bulletproof car, an original factory-armored vehicle is the benchmark. We trade exclusively in original factory armor — this is what sets it apart:
- Integrated protection cell: an integral part of the construction and engineering.
- Certified as a complete vehicle: tested and certified to VPAM as a complete vehicle — protection is part of the manufacturer's series process.
- Chassis & brakes: engineered from the factory for the added weight — decisive for driving safety.
- A major manufacturer behind it: the engineering resources and quality standards of a major car maker — its reputation allows no compromise.

Armored vehicle tires & PAX tires for sale — Michelin PAX tyres
Our trade also includes armored vehicle tires: Michelin PAX tyres and run-flat tires for armored cars — including Mercedes Guard tires for the S-Class Guard. The PAX system is a run-flat system with an internal support ring on a special wheel: if pressure is lost, the ring carries the vehicle and you can continue at up to 80 km/h over a limited range. PAX system replacement tires are standard on many factory-armored vehicles.
PAX tires and armored vehicle tires are available from RECA Guard (RECA Handels-GmbH) in Sindelfingen near Stuttgart, Germany — advice, sales and international shipping.
VR10 protection level — the highest civilian armour
VPAM VR10 is the highest protection level available in a civilian armored vehicle. A VR10 armored car is tested under live-fire conditions to the VPAM guideline — body, glazing and transitions must withstand hard-core and armour-piercing ammunition, certified by state-recognised proof houses.
The difference to VR7 and VR9 lies in the certified threat level: VR7 roughly equals the former B6, while the VR10 protection level covers the highest threats certifiable for civilian use. At RECA Guard, VR10 is available in the Mercedes-Benz S 680 Guard 4MATIC — as an armored security car to buy or as an armored limousine with driver to rent.

What is the difference between factory armor and aftermarket armoring?

What are PAX tires?
Michelin PAX is a run-flat system for armored vehicles: the tyre sits on a special wheel with an internal support ring. If pressure is lost, the support ring carries the vehicle, so you can continue at up to 80 km/h over a limited range.
