The Party is the latest political organisation to board the anti-4x4 bandwagon. Sounding suspiciously like London mayor Ken Livingstone, the Lib Dems reportedly now insist on ""banning Chelsea tractors and taxing them off the roads". The additional fees that owners of such vehicles would pay have nothing to do with raking in yet more cash from motorists.

Chevrolet’s cheap and cheerful family hatch is becoming even more affordable. In Issue 1,000, Auto Express drove the revised five-door Aveo, which starts at ÷£7,500. But now, the US firm has announced a three-door (above), expected to cost ÷£200 less.
The newcomer will debut at next month’s Geneva Motor Show, and features a sporty rear spoiler. It’s powered by a 1.2-litre 83bhp petrol engine, which emits 132g/km of CO2. The three-door goes on sale this summer, shortly after the five-door’s May launch.
