CARPETRIGHT?

If you’ve got a car with a soft top I think you’ve almost definitely know about the superb products of Renovo International. Their range enlivens, revives and maintains the condition of your car’s hood.

A faded, baggy old soft top can let down the appearance of an otherwise good car, but Renovo can help there too by re-colouring to an as-new condition.

Exciting news for 2016 is the arrival of not one but FIVE new products from Renovo International and I am sure they’re going to become equally essential as the company’s hood range.

Great to see the ‘new’ Aries Motorsport at last weekend’s Autosport International show.

Late last year they acquired the former STM Motorsport Loco project sold under the Aries Motorsport banner, which had kept a low profile for several years, and re-located it lock, stock and barrel to their base in Cardiff.

News this week that their bonkers three-wheeler, the Slingshot®, is now available in the UK and a close look at a couple on display at last weekend’s Autosport International show reveals a very nicely built vehicle that has plenty of shove.

Based around a steel spaceframe, Polaris describes the Slingshot® as a three-wheeled motorcycle and although it’s not a ‘leaning trike’ it does More >
