The British International Motor show has rolled into town dazzling car lovers with all sorts of new engineering treats. And it's not just foreign vehicles on display; many motors from the show have been manufactured in the UK.

The forthcoming LIFEcar is the perfect example. Currently at the concept stages, this eco-friendly vehicle is a joint project between the classic English car maker Morgan and the start up company, RiverSimple.

Running off hydrogen powered and electric motors, the car still packs a punch and will reach 60mph in seven seconds. With a weight of just 650kg any driver would look good and be first off the line, come the day of release.
