THIS is an ultra-luxurious Mercedes van boasting on board fridges and surround sound - but it'll cost you an arm and a leg.

The amazing motor has been created by high-end coachbuilders Clive Sutton as a unique and discreet driving experience.

The company has taken a normal Mercedes Sprinter panel van and transformed it into a giant limo through an extensive interior conversion.

As the electric door slides almost noiselessly back, it reveals aircraft-style seats of the type you might expect from a first-class cabin.

They can be fully reclined with an optional footrest extending from the base and are decked out in sleek black leather.

Opposite each pair of seats is a 40-inch smart TV screen, complete with streaming apps and a surround-sound system.

If that doesn't have everything you want, you can download more apps via the van's on-board WiFi network or even have your PlayStation installed.

And your gadgets will never run out of power with ports for USB-C, normal three-prong plugs and a wireless charging option.

Elsewhere in the cabin, there is a mini-fridge tucked away in the central console while cup holders accompany the seating area.

Retractable tables fold out at the press of a button, with other controlling the blinds, panoramic sunroof and divider screen between the passenger and driver areas.

Customers have endless customisation choices, with different seat configurations available and even the option to put in a small kitchen unit at the rear.

All that luxury may go some way to explain the whopping £180,000 price tag.

However, I'm glad to say I can speak from experience, having taken a ride in Clive Sutton's £140,000 converted taxi, and conclude that it would be hard to say that it isn't worth the money.

Clive Sutton, the founder and CEO of the company that bears his name, said: "Our customers demand the absolute pinnacle of luxury, refinement, comfort, and practicality, so we’ve pulled out all the stops to make our 2024 VIP Class Mercedes-Bens Sprinter the most luxurious, spacious, and stylish way to transport up to nine people in absolute comfort."
