The Roundhouse in Camden has seen some legendary performances in its 50-year history, but probably none quite like this. Up on stage are Nick Mason (Pink Floyd's drummer and owner of a priceless collection of racing cars), the philanthropist and entrepreneur Sir Torquil Norman, and the renowned automotive engineer Professor Gordon Murray (best known as the man behind the McLaren F1). But they're not here to talk about supercars. They're here to launch the Ox: the world's first "flat-pack" truck and a vehicle designed specifically to bring aid and mobility to the planet's most remote areas.
