Air conditioning, leather trim, a colour TV and video are all standard and a radio \/ telephone is a listed extra along with a drinks cabinets boardroom table, computer, fridges intercom and, even, a flag pole.<\/p>\n<p>Automatic transmission is standard and the exhaust system has been modified to ensure a very low, noise level.
