The picture is a dummy make up.The actual car looks like a mini with a Suzuki swift front.They also do a Bigger version that looks like a Honda Civic.Spec is good and the interior is usual jap standard.i Drove the Civic protype sized one last week and to say the least i was impressed.£15,000 for mini type and £17,000 for Civic type.The garage i use has 2 on test on the interest of being a main importer.On the Civic type they have fitted a small Honda generator in the front(as a trail) so if the batteries are running out,you can give it a 20 minute charge. Also they have not got a solar roof panel as the report states.

There used to be one about 5 miles from me some years back. First you could hear it, second you could see it & third you could smell it & what it ran on certainly wasn't fuel as we know it ::) :o :o
