Kate Moss has her own black cab

Supermodel is the owner of a new taxi

Kate Moss has been given a £40k taxi by her close pals as a belated birthday present.

The supermodel turned 34 in January, but best mate Sadie Frost, 42, saved the best gift till last.

'Kate had been hankering after a taxi for ages but really wasn't expecting to be given one,' says a source.

'It was a supreme effort by close pals Sadie Frost, Fran and Charlotte Cutler and Jess Morris - Rhys Ifans' ex - to pay Kate back for all the freebies she has given them over the years.

'They each contributed a quarter of the cost. It was a belated birthday present.'

And now Kate is planning to customise it.

'Both Kate and boyfriend Jamie Hince love the car and have already lined up a few finishing touches - one of which is going to be utterly outrageous,' the source tells the Daily Mirror.

'He's already arranged for the steering wheel to be personalised with her initials and is getting the cab fitted with an iPod, six speakers and a hands-free mobile kit. Kate has raised the possibility of leopard skin backseats and furry dice. No one's sure if she's joking or not.'

Kate is planning to present each of the girls with an original Banksy artwork to thank them for the cab.
