Part of the Meilenwerk classic car restoration complex on the old Zeppelin airfield near Böblingen, 10 of the 34 car themed rooms at the V8 Hotel - Böblingen near Stuttgart, Germany, have had extreme makeovers to allow you to sleep in a Mercedes, Morris Minor, Cadillac or Volkswagen.

Perhaps you wish for the luxury of sleeping in a converted white Mercedes bed – bright and polished from the carwash? Maybe airbrushed custom paintwork and chrome is more your style in the Tuning bedroom? Or the 53 Beetle Herbie parked up as a bed in the Petrol Station room?

A Cadillac bed and artwork themed around the drive-in cinemas of the 50’s and 60’s, or a room themed for the outdoors, in V8 Camp?

While everyone will have a favourite, the Morris Minor car bed in the ‘Workshop’ room – complete with mechanic under the car, deserves special mention. Your bed is hoisted on lifting jacks, and your bedside table a drum of oil. A mechanics workbench your writing desk.
