1959 Mutineer/Model 5 mashup shown
Leeroy Custom Solutions was a bespoke coachbuilder from before WWII. James and Jesse Leeroy founded the company to build ultra luxury limousines out of more generic brands. During WWII, no-one would give the brothers any work as they were seen as rivals to all the other brands, well all except one. Konstantin realised that subcontracting the brothers to build low volume, high intricacy variants of the GPUV and the GPDV would free the Bogliq factory to build more of the generic variants. The brothers never forgot this kindness and, after the war, offered their services to Bogliq USA as a bespoke customiser of Bogliq products. Konstantin readily agreed and the beginning of a fascinating and productive (and current to this day) partnership was born.
Same car, from the rear
All Bogliqs were available for the coachbuilding program. Some buyers didn’t trust the new fangled monocoque chassis idea and others wanted to install an engine from a different Bogliq model. Leeroy custom built each car to the customers taste but the customer was limited to the Bogliq parts bin and, later on, bespoke Leeroy Racing tuner parts, so that their warranties would remain intact. All Leeroy custom models could be serviced at any Bogliq dealer and were given a specialised service schedule based off whatever parts were used to customise the car…
The Leeroy brothers did take liberties with the original Bogliq designs, using altered grilles, special paint jobs and bumpers to help distinguish a Leeroy from their mass produced brethren but never strayed too far from the standard set by Bogliq USA!
