British Couple Ships Indian Auto-Rickshaw to UK After 75-Day Journey
A British couple, Helen and Mick, traveled across India for 75 days in a red-and-black Bajaj auto-rickshaw named Timmy the Tin Can, visiting cities and landmarks including Agra and the Taj Mahal. Rather than leaving the vehicle behind, they arranged for it to be shipped to the UK. After a six-month wait, Timmy arrived at London Gateway Port on October 23, 2026, marking the end of its 4,218-kilometre journey across India and by sea to Britain.
