Ask a question

I remember seeing this in the news in 2009:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/hig ... 358859.stm

Looks like thundersky or equivalent to me.

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

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?

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)

Wonder why they are selling it ??
Seems to good to be true, shame its a 1000mile plus round trip for me to get it, or I might have had that, I wonder who will grab it who might live near there

£6325 the astra went for.i wonder who bought it.

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

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
