Editor's pick | A new bakkie, Sanitisers a no-no for cars - This week's top motoring stories

accreditation

Earlier this week, Wheels24 published some news about GWM's new P Series bakkie heading for South Africa. Our readers could not get enough of it, and our mailbox was inundated with praise for the vehicle.

Our most-read story though trumped even the bakkie news, according to Autotrader's CEO George Mienie, it's not a good idea to clean the interior of your vehicle with hand sanitisers during lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic. He tells us what you should use instead. 

Wheels24 contributor Lance Branquinho explains why Toyota SA has dropped both the V6 engine and the manual gearbox in its latest Fortuner offering.

And, we take a look at Project Henry, a Land Rover Series II with a 6.2-litre V8 engine.

Happy reading and stay safe out there!
