They are all jealous that Renault UK saw fit to stop importation of the Trekka.

Yes but why oh why is it hit so hard on emmissions (Class J raoda tax from 2009 so £260 a year road tax. Ridiculous when itys 2-weheel drive siblings are les sthan half this to tax.

A new Renault Trekka if only Renault imported them into UK
