Twice the trouble...

Meet Velma...

Image

As i've recently been offered work further afield than my El can handle I've had to take the plunge and go hybrid. Which means we're now a two-prius household.

No laughing please.

I managed to pick up Velma for an astonishingly cheap £8,500 - which is the cheapest I've ever seen a second hand Second gen for sale through an approved Toyota dealer.

I shall of course be saving up some pennies and making use of these guys as soon as I've earnt enough money from this extra work I'm getting as a consequence of being able to travel further afield...

Probably. I'm going to sell the lithiums and BMS separately. Then its a phev conversion for Velma.

Her numberplate ends in "VLE" and she's red... and I'm mildly dyslexic, so saw it as "Vel" for Velma....
