VAN, TWO

Vauxhall will have two new versions of its British-built Vivaro van at the Frankfurt motor show next month. The first is the Tourer Elite, which is aimed at the business shuttle market, and the other is the Combi Plus which is more car-like and a more generously equipped version of the current Combi model. More details will follow after Frankfurt.

The Motorcycle Industry Association is running its annual ‘try out’ programme to attract new people to biking. The event is being held this weekend (including bank holiday Monday) at the British Motor Museum in Gaydon, just off junction 12 of the M40. Riders will be introduced to gears, brakes and slowspeed handling, all for free. Go to geton.co.uk for more details. You have to be 14 or over, but under 16s must be accompanied by an adult.
