The paint job is to subdued for Mr whippy 😂

Nice - I can see the attraction there!

For our Mr Whippy it would need a trip to the Halfords paint dept. though for a camo paint scheme

Yes it's a very nicely done conversion apart from the loss of boot space but getting a 40kwh battery in that car was never going to be easy!

They were very good cars, I miss mine sometimes. Unfortunately they had the crash rating of a crisp packet...

For those interested in other such conversions, Rich Rebuilds are putting an electric motor in a Corvette.

They're also putting a V8 in a Tesla.

Lots of humour and mucking about in there but they also appear to be good mechanics too.

I definitely find US projects a bit more interesting that a 10 year, turbo'd mini project. ;-)

I was thinking something similar as you flip between Binky and just another crazy US chop shop channel.
