The Sultan of Marokko wanted a canopy.
How can we help him?

The standard and optional equipment of the S-Class

1892. The first automobile to be sold by Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft was a two-cylinder 2-hp Daimler. And Daimler’s first customer happened to be the first aristocrat ever to drive an automobile with a gasoline engine: Sultan Moulay-Hassan I of Morocco. Daimler seems to have been unmoved by such eminence however. In the logbook he simply entered: “Name: Sultan, Address: Morocco.” What was important for him was to supply the first optional equipment feature ever ordered for a Daimler: a velvet baldachin. Decorated with ebony wood and gold-threaded tassels, this opulent canopy was designed to provide the Sultan with welcome shade against the fierce desert sun.

2005. We don’t offer baldachins for the S-Class any more. But we can meet virtually any other requirement. Complementing the already extensive standard equipment, our optional equipment meets even the highest expectations. It includes an electric rear windscreen roller blind or electric rear door roller blinds, which are probably more convenient than baldachin the Sultan of Morocco.
