motor company of the United Kingdom
began to concentrate on importing "speciality" vehicles rather than its traditional business designing and manufacturing a range of small (often four-wheeler) cars. As well as a number of "light vehicles" made by Piaggio and Ligier, the firm had plans to import the Storm and its cabriolet sister car. However, even though the company had start dates for the importation of these cars, the plan never came to fruition.
The convertible version of the Storm is now being imported in to the UK and sold by Dream Machines, a company based in Heathfield, East Sussex.
This mid-size car is available with different comfort and safety features like power window, power steering, child safety locks, front fog lights, rear defroster, leather etc. Few optional features can sometimes be found in this car like power seat, sun roof etc. This car comes with full comfort and luxury of air-conditioner.
