Yes, it is true. I had the pleasure to sail around all the Channel Islands some years ago, and Sark was certainly the most charming one. Mind you, it is a very small island and the little that is brought to the island is taken by the motorized tricycles. I guess Alderney would also be without cars if it wasn't for its military position in the past. What I found most amazing is the threshold harbour of Guernesey. You can only enter it when above half tide. And since the tide when I was there was 11 meters! Anyway, did you know that Guernesey is actually Groene oy, a Scandinavian name? Yep, Normandy is the country of the ... Norsemen.
