Project Kahn’s Wills & Kate Maybach 57

Kahn creates a Royal Maybach

Project Kahn has created a Maybach 57 Special Edition to commemorate the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton, complete with the ‘4 HRH’ number plate.

The last time we invited the world to a Royal Wedding involving an heir to the throne, Prince Charles married Lady Diana Spencer. But that was in 1981, when the world was a simpler, less commercially exploitative place than it is now.

In 1981 we got Charles & Di mugs and plates (actually, there was a definite crockery theme going on) and maybe the odd flag to flutter with the Union Flag and a couple of mug shots. And that was about it.

But with the 2011 version of the Charles and Di saga – Wills & Kate get married – souvenir makers have got a bit more ambitious. And perhaps the most ambitious bit of memorabilia we’ve come across is the Project Kahn Wedding Commemorative Maybach 57.

Yes, believe it or not, Project Kahn has seen fit to titivate a Maybach 57 (why a Maybach, of all cars?) in honour of the impending nuptials of Prince William and Kate Middleton.

The Wedding Maybach is a standard Maybach 57 with a set of 22″ Kahn alloys and a personalised plate – 4 HRH. There’s also the de rigueur privacy glass and a pimped interior, doubtless all done in the best possible taste (cue Kenny) and a lot of gilding.

Maybe Kahn’s hoping Theo Paphitis will come calling to show his patriotism.
