Creation of jeep from motor cycle engine where five people can travel in comfort

The creation of a jeep where five people could travel in comfort at the cost of Rs. 55,000 by a wonderful technician is heard from Galewala, Galbokka. The creator is Mr. W.M.M. Sisira Kumara (36). He has had a passionate desire for mechanism even from his childhood and by now he has produced a jeep with the use of an engine of a motor cycle and in which five persons could travel in comfort. This jeep, Mr. Sisira Kumara stated could be driven at a speed of about 70 kilometres per hour and is in a condition to be used
particularly for the tourist industry. He in fact is the father of three children and is an electrical technician as well as a mason by profession. When at home he would produce various things, he said. 

This jeep is equipped with gears, brakes, head-lights and safety-belts necessary for the vehicle. He has produced a helicopter when small and later a small vehicle with the aid of a small push-cycle engine where two people could travel and ultimately this durable, tough jeep where five people could travel in. This jeep which is presently in a motorable condition could be inspected and produced at a low cost he said and if a private firm would provide support this identical jeep could be produced within this country itself, he added. 

The said jeep has been created using tyres used for three-wheelers and various parts discarded in garages. He then said that so far nobody's attention has so far been focused on this jeep; but that anybody could visit his home and and inspect the vehicle. He also pointed out that though it still is not in a position to secure a registered number, even at a later date this jeep could be produced for the tourist industry and as a domestic vehicle for the family among vehicles imported from abroad with high expenditure and that government support is warranted in that respect.
