Haven't those cheeky Chinese chaps got a sense of humour?!
Although it does at least make the D5 look good, something Gerry McGovern struggled with 2011 - 2015: 3 x FL2
2015 - 2017: 2 x D4
2017 to date: FFRR SDV8
2023 to date: 2 x FL2 as โsecondโ cars ๐
2021 to date: Hinckley built โ14 Triumph Trophy 1200
2022 to date: Hinckley built โ14 Triumph Trophy 1200 & sidecar!
(One of only two known to exist in the world!)

J77 , at least the running gear of that landwind labrador is very impressive
quote
Under the skin, the Landwind has opted for a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine, sourced from Japanese manufacturer, Suzuki. It is the same 66kW powerplant as found in the 2017 Suzuki Ignis.
