A CAR dealer has revealed that he stands to make thousands at festivals after buying a bizarre bar on wheels for just £5,000.
The tiny vehicle doesn’t even require a car licence to drive it and features some unusual, but patriotic, branding.
Matthew Goodwin, who runs High Peak Autos, posted the whacky motor on his YouTube channel, showing off his latest acquisition.
The motors pro is well-known to Sun readers for picking up cheap cars and finding big profits.
Indeed, just a few days ago we reported how he was set to make £1,000 on a super-rare sports car he bought for just £600.
However, even more so than that car, this is one of the most unique vehicles he’s ever got hold of.
In his latest video, Matthew revealed that he had bought a bright red tuk-tuk for about the same price as a second-hand Ford Fiesta.
The three-wheelers are popular in countries like India, where they are commonly used as taxis.
Up front, it uses the controls from a normal 125cc scooter plus doors, a dashboard and a windscreen, with a van-like rear storage space behind.
As such, you don’t even need a car licence to drive it, with a CBT certificate and A1 moped licence doing the trick.
However, anyone with a full car licence over the age of 21 is allowed to drive it automatically.
This one, though, had been converted by its previous owner into a mobile bar serving alcoholic slushies out of a side hatch, which gave Matthew a money-spinning idea.
He said: “There should be some profit in this.
“They seem to be retailing for around £6,500.
“If I can get the seat repaired and give it a quick clean, it should easily be worth £5,995.
“I think this is the perfect time for me to buy one of these.
“We’re right in event season where people are doing shows and things and this could be the perfect addition to someone’s business.”
Another quirk of the tuk-tuk is its unusual branding, with the post-box red motor bearing the Royal Mail crest on the side, which would make it a quaint edition for summer events.
Matt added: “How cool is this?
“It is the ideal thing because it just gets so much attention.”
It comes after Wheeler Dealers star Mike Brewer issued an urgent warning to drivers after revealing the he had been scammed.
