Mercedes has announced that the third generation 2012 smart fortwo electric drive has gone in to production.

Nizam of Hyderabad’s 1912 Rolls Royce Siver Ghost Throne Car has done just 356 miles

The newly restored 1912 Silver Ghost Throne car One of the first Rolls Royce in India – the Nizam of Hyderabad’s 1912 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost Throne car – has been restored to its original glory. In 1911 the 6th Nizam of Hyderabad – Mehboob Ali Khan - ordered a Rolls Royce Silver Ghost, and had it sent off to Bakers of Edinburgh to create a very special body, fit for Nizam (think Maharajah, the generic term for Indian Royalty).

Instead, this is the last hurrah for the current Range Rover Sport with its underpinnings stolen from the Land Rover Discovery and weighing the same as one of Jupiter’s middle size moons.
