That’s a fabulous old car, originally built by Autofarm as a 3.0 RS replica, using a lot of actual RS parts, for Lord Mexborough to drive while his real one was still parked in the garage!
Bob Mortimer lightened it, installed a 3.5 litre RS engine, and drove the wheels off it!
A really good friend and tremendous competitor.

Captain Chaos in his choclate modded SC……. Just wishing we had a climate that replicated Northern California as I look out the window to a miserable January morning - roll on Spring…..

Finally got round to editing a short video last night from Grossglockner last year. My old laptop just cried when I tried to open the Go Pro files :)

Although it looks like a great job and the kit is bolt in so should avoid the DVLA issue I still don't get it. Whats the cost of this plus install? £80k and with all Moggy's installs, unless something has changed, you seem to get less than 150 mile range.

Agree, the whole electric in a classic is a difficult calculation unless you just have to have one.
On top of the kit is the 'dealer' install who I guess carries the warranted, so will be marked-up accordingly.

Wouldn't it be more rational to have a 15% power hike but then have extended range, but maybe because you are stuck with TESLA parts you get 1,000,000 bhp as standard?

Some good blasts from the past there, thanks Graham. I used to love that hill, and got the P4 record in Dave Hilton’s 911E in 2003. Never beaten since, though Jamie Martin got close at that event, it will remain forever now they’ve stopped using the hill…

Not really a Porsche but here is a video of a flat four working model. Oddly satisfying to watch…

What a great find this is. 356 engined Beach Buggy on a '54 VW pan.
