IT IS the ultimate party bus for a stag do, hen night, school prom or other event.

The Volkswagen limousine coach is the first in the UK to seat 16 people and features a bar, fridge and 42in plasma TV screen. With tinted windows and more than 2,500 light permutations it is like having your own private mobile nightclub.

The vehicle is the brainchild of Hampshire-based firm Limo One. Ryan Bunting, from Southampton, is one of four directors of the company.

He said: "We've had a great response so far. It's got a unique full perimeter body kit with extreme built-in exterior and interior lighting and at night it looks like no other limo."

The limousine coach is the first to receive a Certificate of Initial Fitness from the Vehicle and Operator Services Agency to seat 16 people legally. This initial model has already been sold to an operator in Northern Ireland but the firm plans to make more to order for the basic price of £86,500.
