My mechanical engineering students created their own mini-electric vehicle competition (as a project for our SAE chapter). They call it ~Formula CCM~
It's a lot less sophisticated than the Spitfire above, but we can build one for about $125.
We've got several, local schools building them and challenging us and we'll looking to get other groups to join in (Boy Scouts, church groups or whatever).
It's a nice engineering project and it's fun too. We've got three running at school plus a fourth "loaner" that we lend out for others to inspect and check out..
Anyone else is welcome to build one and challenge us

Agreed, the result is a great way of saving a motorless Spit from the crusher -with no permanent changes even.
Given the interest the car's drive train was going to generate, I was a little surprised to see all that new tech being bolted into a rusted chassis / engine compartment: a little more time spent with the sprayer could have done wonders...
Cheers,
Doug
