An EV @160 mile (or km?) range is plenty to get most anywhere and back with some added zip off the line - points for that. It would be interesting to experience the new suspension upgrade, the ride and cornering turns even as the weight distribution are to be equalized to original. Much added weight over original? Straight line highway driving at 70 mph and no wandering? Can’t say if I’d fully appreciate or discredit without an all conditions drive. Limited if any space for retro electric AC and what alterations if any were done to original heat venting system besides retaining those pivoting side windows.
Looks to have been a fine restoration at once upon a time with the original engine, albeit the equally superb and tidy conversion isn’t my cuppa.
I’d miss the classic flat-four flat back there resonance, oh and that wafting oily fuel aroma. Nonetheless very sharp looking all around and no sunroof.
Jerry’s ears must be ringing. It’s Pepita. Pepita, not Pasha. : )
