Cambodian mechanic Nhean Phaloek says the doors of his Angkor 333-2010, which he designed and built at home in Phnom Penh, open telepathically - which is a good thing, considering they have no handles.

Even if the car has no door handle from the outside, I still give Mr. Nhean Phaloek a whole lots of credit for trying. I praise him for that. He's a genious. If I'm not mistaken, this is his 3rd car, the design looks very Chinese or Korean. His daughter, who is an artist, designed that car. His first one used moped engine and parts.
The government or private investors need to help him out by giving him a small loan for his automobile production company for domestic buyers, to start out. I wouldn't mind buying one, even if no door handle. Well, technically, it a convertible and short, you just have to reach over and open the door from the inside. Anyhow, He definately will be creating jobs if and when he has his company. This could be Cambodia's pride, our very own car. The name will definately be Cambodia. He just need to be an entrepreneur, which I'm sure he is. He went to great length to build car number 3. I wonder what is the MPG, 45 miles to a gallon?
I agree, he is a genius. As far as I know, the guy never study mechanical engineering but he can build a car.
I agree that the government or the private sectors see benefits to his designed car to invest in this project and start producing his car for local use, or may be for export. Good on him.
Where can we buy the car. It is so fun and must be great to have one. If this one would be combined with the new Trabbi, a match in heaven would be made
You can get in contact with the Phnom Penh Post and ask for Nhean's contact details.
The car looks great and it is cheap I think. It only cost him around $2000-$3000 to make, so he would just sell at, say $5000-$6000 or even a bit more I think.
