RELIANT showed off the BE UP in a new partnership between Piaggio, Ligier Automobiles and Giugiaro Design. The car can be driven on a motorcycle licence. The Ligier Ambra, making its UK debut, is the latest version of the microcar that offers 80mpg in diesel format and can also be driven on a motorcycle licence.

The firm also launched the Piaggio Porter small van and Piaggio Ape 50. The Reliant Robin, which ends production this year, was offered in a special edition to mark 65 years in production, priced at £10,000.
