I saw it on the news earlier as well.
It's flat pack!!!!
3 low skilled people can assemble it in less than 12 hours.
MMC take note!!!!!!!
My old Volvo estate was the most robust vehicle I've ever had. I used it as a mobile skip for about 5 years. Bomb proof.

Looks like something that the Series 1 defender crowd on the web site should start measuring up !!  
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

I like the Ox, very much like a Morgan - lots of wood, low design and component costs, little development mileage, the list goes on.........😝

Met Gordon Murray and yes he is a clever engineer - designed the Maclaren F1. But he isnt clever real world. The income of an average african peasant is £400 per annum and he has to feed himself wife and lots of kids out of it. Even if someone gives him an Ox he cant afford to run it. Thats why he uses animals for haulage - they cost little or nothing to run and you can eat them if necessary. A prevous inventor invented a cheap pre fab hut for africans and again that foundered on the same issue. It all smacks of Clive Sinclair. What the poor africans need is a way to earn a better living ie markets in the west paying a fair price for their products. They need wells. They need very simple very basic machines. £10 to £15 k isnt cheap even for us.

I thought that theme was very similar to this, but whilst it was an exciting project it too came to nothing & the guy involved got busted and jailed. Africar - A Car for Africa
