April 2005, the first tuktuk ( autorickshaw ) arrives in the UK for sale. All revved up to impress. A new convertable for £ 4500? In your dreams unless of course its a autorickshaw. Yes a tuktuk is a motorised tricycle - rider at the front and two passengers at the back. You will see these vehicles all over asia and in particular India, these are now being imported by tuktuk uk. The short history of the Sinclair C5 shows there are risks with oddball minimalist transport in the UK, but 65mpg and an insurance premium of around £300 are two reasons why tuktuk's have a future in Britain as a small run about or business delivery vehicle.
