They call them a 'Tuk Tuk' a sort of rickshaw, the got the idea fro old
british motorbikes ,mainly the Royal Enfield and chopped the rear off then
atached a 2 seater rear end.
I noticed them during the TV programme. The cars used by the top gear team
wer a genuin British 2000 Mini Coopre, great fun, a 1980s Jaguar XJS and,
best of all a 1975 Rolls Royce Ghost. All in great condition. I think they
had bought them in India where they would have survived for a long time
due to the dry climate.
I was utterly disgusted by the way they ruined the RR "just for a joke".
There was a time when the words Rolls Royce were synonymous with " The
Best in the world!".
You can still say that about the aero engines but how long before our
government decides to sell RR to som foreign firm ?
