Sutton launches VIP Class range in London

By CARSIFU | 19 February 2019


LONDON: At the London Classic Car Show, Sutton Bespoke launched its new ‘VIP Class’ vehicles – a new range of high-specification, highly luxurious people carriers based on Mercedes-Benz V-Class and Sprinter models.

Clive Sutton is one of the UK’s leading coachbuilding, custom and specialist car dealers.

The bespoke people carriers can be specified with a range of seating configurations and are customised using the finest materials.

An extensive list of available luxury options includes electric heated and cooled seats with a 10-point massage function, advanced infotainment for all passengers, and a driver’s partition for enhanced privacy.

Sutton Bespoke displayed two of its coach-built VIP Class models at this year’s London Classic Car Show.

The first example on display is a new deluxe bespoke reimagining of the Mercedes Sprinter, finished in Obsidian black and trimmed in soft-touch ‘bio-leather’.

Between the driver and passengers is a custom electrically-actuated partition providing privacy for the rear passengers to enjoy two 40-inch 4K Smart TVs and a cinema system with seven-zone audio.

All interior panelling is clad in the same luxurious soft-touch bio-leather with custom stitching, and there is high-quality thick-pile carpet throughout.

The six rear seats have been upgraded to include full reclining functionality, and all have access to a console with a control panel, cup holders and lockable storage unit containing a champagne bucket.

The second is based on the Mercedes-Benz V-Class, with a subtle Obsidian black exterior and a spacious cabin with seven seats retrimmed in ultra-soft Nappa leather (all with black centres and grey bolsters). A double-glazed panoramic roof is surrounded by a stitched headlining in platinum suede, which also covers the A-, B-, C- and D-pillars.

Between the two front seats is a two-tone quilted lifting armrest, which tops a large integrated fridge and cup holders with four cut-crystal glasses.

A roof-mounted antenna provides 4G connectivity for occupants who also have access to Apple TV, DAB and FM radio via the centre console-mounted touchscreen television.

The whole passenger compartment is trimmed in a luxurious thick-pile black carpet.

Also on the Sutton Bespoke stand at the London Classic Car Show will be a very special 1967 Sutton Mustang GT500CS.

This contemporary interpretation of the original GT500 is truly unique and provides a full ‘restomod’ specification, with contemporary high-performance upgrades.

Alongside this will be a Sutton Bespoke GT700CS – a modern UK-spec Mustang with a selection of Sutton Bespoke and official Ford Performance upgrades.

Sutton Bespoke fits a Ford Performance supercharger, active exhaust and Recaro sports seats among many other enhancements.

The mighty Mustang CS800 displayed in 2018/19 model guise features an all-new enhanced Whipple supercharger, which means the car now produces a massive 850hp and 895Nm of torque.

Also on display at its first UK debut is the right hand drive Sutton Monster Raptor CS520 off-road performance pick-up truck. The CS520 is re-manufactured with an uprated intercooler and a remap, helping it produce 520hp and 698Nm of torque.

The truck is re-engineered in right-hand drive and distributed by Sutton in the UK, Australia and across South East Asia.
