Looks like thundersky or equivalent to me.

I do not like all the exposed bus bars and contactors in the engine compartment. :shock:

I hope the engine bay is completely sealed. :?

Still worth a few quid for all the parts.

What system voltage is it? How many cells are there?

One HCH1 Civic Hybrid running 60ah A123 Lithium pack.

No mention of voltage.

Come to think of it, John Lilly talked about this car at our last Electracon. I'll have to go and watch the DVD again. I think he talked about keeping it simple.
*edit* watched DVD, it's 80v 400Ah (200Ah x 2 parallel).

Buy your own DVD here. (OK - no more spamming this morning)

Swiped by j***0 (194) - a good deal indeed. I think the batteries alone would be £10,000 new. I hope he pops up here to show it off.

That was a computerised bid if I ever saw one :lol:

Got a dam good price I recon, an average 2004 astra is between 2k and 4k so just over 6k for an electric version is a steal, even more so with todays pump prices
