Job Description
With this conversion our aim was to convert it to electric without cutting or altering it in any way. The car is a full restored, but standard Minor and we have ensured the conversion is bolt in. The only upgrades to the vehicle are a remote brake servo (now fed by an electric vacuum pump) and a wonderful series 3 interior. The car still runs on its original suspension.
This was our first conversion and we ran it like you see it in the video for around a year. It was then sold and we took the experiences of the builds we had done in the mean time to improve the car.
Main charges were that we used steel battery boxes instead of steel frames with aluminium skins.
