Oh I like that conversion, What a nice job. Must be wonderful to waft along in silence & comfort in your Rover 75 BEV, Pretty soon it'll be the only sort of vehicle you'll be able to drive into towns or cities.

not for me I'm afraid, half the enjoyment of a car is the glorious engine noise, either a wail of a V6 or deep rumble of a V8. Unless they can put a proper engine noise sound track in it.
I've seen the electric E-type Jag, but to me it's beautiful looking car but imagine the disappointment of booting it away from the traffic lights sounding like a milk float. |

Nice conversion, but the range of 140km is pathetic.

Would like to find the chassis number, that will be a nice one for the Dorchester list.

If I would ever have to drive an EV (not willingly though) it would be this one

Interesting conversion, if they could get the range up to 200 miles plus I would be seriously interested.

Hello
there is already a lively discussion going on about my garage work I think the Rover 75 goes perfectly with an electric motor, and after my car had an engine failure, I wanted to find a solution for the future . Let's not discuss whether it makes sense, it will remain an exotic solution. And I have a lot of fun with the vehicle. For those who are interested in the technology, I will open an extra thread again in the next few days and describe the vehicle in more detail.

But no room for the Bassets
Very impressive - someone knows what they're doing - but no room for The Basset Hounds.
