Sultan of Brunei’s modified Mercedes for sale

Want a car fit for royalty? A modded motor used by the Sultan of Brunei to watch camel racing is for sale on Auto Trader.

This 2004 Mercedes Benz AMG VIP Meeting Vehicle started out life as a sprinter van before being emphatically redesigned.

The oil baron commissioned Mercedes tuning specialists AMG to make three of the bespoke machines, which were fitted with 2.3-litre supercharged engines.

On the outside, the Sultan had 18-inch alloys and an aerodynamic bodykit added – along with uprated brakes and an AMG sports exhaust.

Inside, AMG really went to work. The bright red interior is all leather with matching red carpet. The VIP cabin has four electric seats, LCD screens, electric table and storage compartment and a sound system worthy of a Kiss concert.

And the amazing air-conditioning system, more suited to the climate of Dubai than Dorking, is powered by an on-board diesel generator.

The Sultan is one of the world’s biggest petrolheads, and has owned 5,000 cars including 500 Rolls Royces. 

Now you can get you hands on the Sultan’s old car – which has covered just 2,000 miles – for £82,250.
