Hyundai i10
From City car to Ice Cream Seller in just 6 weeks - that's so cool

 

The Hyundai i10 was delivered to Andy on January 16th 2008 and finished on February 26th 2008, and launched at the hyundai i10 press evening on February 27th 2008.
 
The Ice Cream Van appeared in autocar on March 4th...and will seen all over europe this year on the hyundai stand helping to promote their New i10 City car.

The original i10 goes on sale in the UK in March 2008, the little Korean model will be available from just under £6,500. Even basic variants come with air conditioning as standard along with front electric windows, central locking and electric power steering.

Replacing the old Amica, the i10 will be the smallest model in the range. A compact 3,565mm long and 1,595mm wide, the i10 has a wheelbase of 2,380mm. Despite its size, the i10 is equipped to carry five occupants.

Power comes from a 66bhp 1.1-litre petrol engine mated to choice of manual or automatic gearboxes.

Go for the standard fit manual and combined economy is claimed to be in excess of 60mpg while CO2 emissions are 119g/km. This is low enough to qualify the i10 for a £35 per year VED ‘tax disc’


Take a brand new car, add a touch of inspiration, flair, craftmanship, hard graft over just 6 weeks and of course Andy Saunders and create Chilly. Probably one of the smartest, smallest Ice Cream vans you will ever see.


 

Due to the amazing feedback that Hyundai have experienced with Andy's I10 ice cream van and the amount of publicity it has brought they have decided to again take the plunge and have asked Andy to build them another display vehicle, Again in a ridiculously short period of time, this car is a new I30 luxury model and is being converted in time to grace centre stage on the Hyundai stand at the EXCEL motorshow in london, july 2008. The ideas at the moment are top secret but pics will be added on completion. - See the News Page for updates.
