Hi Folks. The Daily Mail Saturday 27/5 reported the launch of the Alif, a four-seat micro powered by a 200cc four-stroke engine.
Said to be capable of 80mpg and available in a gas-powered version, it's being touted as a replacement for the Auto Rickshaw which is being phased out because of their polluting two-strokes. My Auto Rickshaw is a four-stroke so the traditional three-wheeler shoudl live on a little longer - I hope!
The Alif is also available in a van and pick-up version. The Alif is made by the Pakistani firm Transmission and costs - wait for it - £1650! Naturally, I want one.
