THIS MATCHED PAIR OF 1987 BUICK GRAND NATIONAL COUPES IS UP FOR GRABS

Lot #1307 and #1307.1 at Barrett-Jackson's Scottsdale sale will be auctioned as a pair this Thursday, January 17. Known as "The Twinz," the two identical 1987 Buick Grand Nationals were built one after the other, optioned exactly the same, and were never sold as new cars. According to our friends at Hot Rod, who have the full story on these Turbo Regal twins, the cars were ordered by a family Buick dealership and kept in the showroom until the business shuttered. The owner's son eventually took the cars home and stored them in a barn for a majority of the last 30-plus years, which helps explain the low miles and time capsule condition. The auction house reports that one has less than 600 original miles while the other has fewer than 900. One car even has the original brake switch still installed, which likely means it never saw a GM service department after it was driven home, as that part was recalled back in 1987. Both cars wear their original window stickers and come with all factory documentation.

Quadricycles to get approval for private use in India - Reports

Quadricycles to get approval for private use in India - Reports It is widely reported that the Union government is about to approve the sale of quadricycles for private use. Doing so should pave the way for a new segment of four-wheelers that should bridge the gap between motorcycles and cars. The Bajaj Qute, which is currently the only quadricycle available in India, is expected to spearhead the development of this category. The Bajaj Qute made its debut as the  RE60  in 2012 but could not be  launched until June 2018  as rivals and industry bodies approached the Supreme Court on safety concerns.

Renault HBC small SUV confirmed to be launched in India in 2020

Renault HBC small SUV confirmed to be launched in India in 2020 The latest development was recently revealed by Venkatram Mamillapalle, Renault India’s new Managing Director. “The mid-term plan is in force and everything goes as per the plan,” he said. We need to have double the share by 2022 with a proper line up (of products) with RBC (Triber) this year and HBC next year. The HBC has been in the rumour mill since 2016, but Renault has remained light-tipped on the progress of the project so far. It will be the final model to come from the Kwid family after the Triber. Like the Triber, it should have an individual design and not be a mere product extension. The Renault HBC should measure no more than 4,000 mm in length, to get taxed at the least possible rate(s) and have economical pricing. Power could come from the turbocharged version of the Kwid’s 1.0-litre three-cylinder petrol engine that is said to be offered as an option in the Triber next year.
