LONDONERS had better prepare themselves for another new generation of taxi, just days after Nissan confirmed its own assault on the Black Cab market. The plug-in hybrid Fraser-Nash Range Extended Electric Metrocab is capable of more than 75mpg and less than 50g/km of CO2, and is expected to cost no more than a current Hackney carriage.

Pink Rolls Royce Ghost FAB 1 supports Breast Cancer Care

The result is a pink Rolls Royce Ghost EWB put together for the Evans adventure with everything from a pink paint job to hand-embroidered headrests with the Breast Cancer Care pink ribbon motif and pink umbrellas. There’s also ‘FAB1′ treadplates , a pink and cream interior and an uplit Spirit of Ecstasy Rolls Royce has handed the Ghost over to Chris’s FAB1 Million project – and he’s chipped in his FAB 1 number plate – with a plan to raise £1 million for the charity over the next year by offering the pink roller for hire for any special day – from weddings to corporate outings – and for appearances at special events. Jolyon Nash, Rolls Royce Marketing Director, said: When I received the call from Chris Evans to support FAB1 Million, we immediately sprang into action. It’s taken countless hours to create such a special car but every minute spent is absolutely worth it for such a valuable cause.

Now Eddyline Ltd - the sole UK distributors for the SBU V3 - is looking to…er…ride on the back this popularity by importing something with one less wheel.
