Armoured Car Services and Asset Protection
Belgraves of London have a well-established heritage in the diplomatic sector, providing unparalleled secure transportation across London, the UK and Europe. We specialise in high-profile visits, expertly managing and co-ordinating multiple vehicles, security, locations and routes while advising on processes and liaising with police and local authorities to ensure a seamless and secure experience. With our extensive knowledge and strong local network – meticulous preparation and attention to detail are at the core of our service. We are proud to have served governments and royal families from across the world as well as UHNW individuals and celebrities. Whether you require secure transportation for valuable assets, an individual VIP or a visiting Head of State, we have the necessary expertise to ensure complete protection from arrival to departure.
Armoured Vehicle Fleet
All our protection vehicles are company owned and ballistic & blast resistance (VPAM) rated from VR6 to VR10 (B5-B7+). We primarily operate BMW vehicles due to their significant advancements in civilian vehicle armouring technology and superior build quality. BMW have been producing armoured protection vehicles for over 45 years and Authority vehicles for over 60 years, working in close cooperation with authorities and government agencies all over the world.
Our fleet of armoured cars are all factory built by the manufacturer from the ground up, ensuring seamless integration of all the armour and thanks to the precise engineering employed, the levels of room and seating comfort on board hardly differ from the conventional vehicles. A further advantage of a manufacturer build is the discreet appearance of the car, from the outside they look almost identical to their regular soft-skin version adding an extra layer of understatement and safety.
We carry out a monthly maintenance and safety program on every vehicle and each vehicle undergoes a rigorous inspection before deployment. We offer a comprehensive back-up, including support vehicle able to be stationed on-site and we have the means to immediately provide an equivalent back-up armoured vehicle ready to step in should the need arise.
BMW 7 Protection
Armoured Sedan
The new BMW 7 Protection boasts the latest cutting-edge advancements in armoured vehicle technology, seamlessly integrated with exceptional luxury, comfort and a wealth of cabin space. With a resistance class rating of VR9/10 (B7+), the vehicle is equipped with the latest technology to counter various attack scenarios, and for the first time, BMW have created the Protection Core which forms a self-supporting protective cell combined with protection-spec doors, underbody and roof along with ballistic safety glass, making it one of the most secure civilian vehicles in the world.
BMW X5 Protection Plus
Armoured SUV
The new BMW X5 Protection Plus is VPAM rated at VR6 (B5) providing significant protection against blast and ballistic assault whilst maintaining a discreet appearance. This X5 has an outstanding skillset as a single vehicle for at-risk individuals but is also ideally suited to the role of back-up support vehicle alongside the BMW 7 Protection.
