Team GB speedway boss picks up Mitsubishi

The manager of Team GB and Swindon Robins speedway teams has picked up a new Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV.

Swindon Mitsubishi has supported Alun Rossiter for the last year and has just provided the former speedway rider with a new plug-in hybrid electric vehicle for the next 12 months.

Alun said: “As the manager of Swindon and Team GB I have to do a lot of driving all over the place so having the support of Swindon Mitsubishi has been fantastic.”

Eddie Gamble, Sales Manager of Swindon Mitsubishi, said: “We’re delighted to be able to support Alun. He’s a well-known figure around the town and the vehicle will be parked right outside Swindon’s Abbey Stadium for all their home meetings.

“The new Outlander PHEV is a fantastic vehicle and it’s not difficult to see why it is proving so popular. I’m sure he will enjoy driving it.”

As well as its official fuel consumption figure of 156 miles per gallon, the Outlander PHEV’s low emissions of just 42g of CO2 per kilometre mean there’s no vehicle tax to pay. It is exempt from the congestion charge and it qualifies for the Government’s £2,500 plug-in car grant.
