Words: Charlie Thomas
A man’s choice of car says a lot about him. In the same vein that a pair of shoes or a watch can hint at certain personality traits, an automobile can reveal elements of one’s taste and preferences. This is especially true when one purchases a car to be driven in. The usual suspects are Bentley or Rolls Royce, yet while these are failsafe options they are hardly original. For those after a highly luxurious, yet completely different chauffeur-driven car, this unique Mercedes-Benz Viano may well be for you.
With more amenities than a five-star hotel, this Viano may just become your favourite place to work. You’ll no longer have to wait to catch up on work when dashing from meeting to meeting, as the luxury van boasts its own Windows 7 computer as well as 4G and wifi on board, so you’ll always be connected. Indeed, it received signal from across most of Europe so in affect you’ll never have to leave it.
Elsewhere, the Viano, or ‘Tosca’ as it’s nicknamed, features a printer/scanner and copier allowing you to load and print content straight from your laptop. For downtime there’s a DVD and CD player connected up to a digital TV, allowing you to connect to multiple channels on the go. Audio plays though Bang & Olufsen speakers, and with added bluetooth you can connect any number of devices straight to them.
Privacy is at the heart of the Viano. Indeed, at the push of the button the specially frosted glass can ‘white out’, meaning you’ll be suitably anonymous to those outside. Individual partitions can be lowered or raised too, for added peace and quiet. Available for hire now from Work On Wheels, this particular Viano allows you to make the most of your time, all the time.
This unique Mercedes Viano is operated by Capstar Chauffeurs. For more information on the van, click here
