British Prime Minister presents a Brompton to his Japanese counterpart

During his trade tour of Japan, Prime Minister David Cameron yesterday revealed that the Nissan factory in Sunderland would be producing a new hatchback for the Japanese company. Not so well publicised was the fact that Cameron presented Prime Minister Noda of Japan with a product of a British success story: a Brompton folding bike.

Pix of the bike can be seen on Number 10’s Flickr feed.
