A "different" E-Type

An electric, lightweight E-Type

Re: A "different" E-Type

I'd assume Mr. Lyons is rollin' in his grave over this one.

Oh well, Prince Charles's Aston Martin is converted to biofuel.

Anything goes in the antique car biz, one assumes. :cryin:
 
Re: A "different" E-Type

I looked at this and thought it was a little weird and strange thing to do to an e-type, then today I read a story on Yahoo, there was an MPG contest in Europe, a purpose built electric that looked like a Micro-car (from race car designer Gordan Murray I believe) won the event, the report I read said an electric E-type finished 2nd (I assume the car above how many electric e-types can their be?).

However, the only report I can find now shows the e-type winning the sports car class, pretty cool either way, and a new accolade for the evergreen E-type!

The Gordan Murray entrant looks like a 50s Messerschmidt (sp?) micro car doesn't it?
