Businesspeople keen to travel the roads in luxury could rent their own private Mercedes as a "mobile office", thanks to a new business venture.
The Luxury Mobile Office Company has set out to raise £200,000 by the end of the month to help roll out a fleet of five converted Mercedes Viano vans.
The 'mobile offices' could be rented out for about £250-an-hour in London, and various luxury hotel chains are said to be interested in snapping up their own vans for guests.
