I didn't quite know where to post this but it was such a little lovely of a car. I parked near this in Norwich lunchtime today. It was absolutely mint. A nice old gentleman driving it too, he was obviously very proud of it. That is my car to the right of the picture. :)

It sounded quite fruity with the exhaust pipe coming out just behind the drivers door :)

I’m fairly confident the driver will have plenty of £10 and £20 notes to pay for the fuel…:rolleyes:

LPG it then drive through Londinium CC Zone for free!
That would be the answer, but 6.2Ltr in a huge thing like that, it still sound expensive to me :)

I thought I would look it up;

What Is the average gas mileage for a hummer? The average gas mileage of a Hummer depends on the model, year, engine type, terrain, and driving habits. The H1 gets around 10 mpg, the H2 a low 10-12 mpg while the H3 can deliver up to 14 mpg on average


Perfect punishment for such a stupid car...

If anyone can guess the manufacturer of the below I’ll be very impressed

And yes it is a car manufacturer that is still in existence

Appears to be a Pavesi Tolotti - from the badge on the engine block.

Is the company really still in business?
