Not personally been bitten by the EV bug but this is quite thought provoking:

Whilst the noise and originality is important for me, I think this will be a way of seeing vastly more classics stay in use rather than museum pieces. As the tax/emissions regimes make petrol cars less and less viable, I'd prefer to see this than most having to be trailered to "theme park" track or static display.

Quite remarkable that no one's got back to us. As we're not desperate to have the work done - the car a perfectly good with its rebuilt 126 n/a engine, we're not going to chase.

The sooner more companies move into this market the better.

What you need is a car enthusiast web-based collective with loads of technical skills and people with readily available investment cash to get cracking....... wink
