Thought some of you might like this. Some will hate, no doubt about that!

It certainly looks like it has been done to an exceptionally high standard. I approve smile

I like it, replacing the engine with a battery pack of similar size and weight and using the original engine mounts seems a good way to go for converting cars to EV, as it's reversible and there's not much hacking to get it in. For this sort of application, it makes more sense than trying to fit them into the floor space as it would be in a Nissan Leaf or a Tesla.

It's a series 1, apparently originally had a 3.8, yet it's 1968? A bit late for an S1 I'd have thought, let alone a 3.8.

I think the Jaguar chap in the video described it as a Series one-and-a-half!
