Is a Morris Minor EV for real?

I just saw some AI videos when I searched.

Who has the Morris trademark these days? SAIC?

Loved um at the time. Particularly the 24v

 

[securespark]

I admit, I wasn't a Vauxhall guy, but I did lust after the Lotus Carlton.

And I did briefly own a 79 Opel Rekord.

Not that the Rekord was comparable!

My late business partner was very into Vauxhall Senators. It was because he wanted a new one that I traded in Ferndinand for Ariel. He came into the lab one day and said, "I want a new car and by the terms of the partnership agreement you have to have one too, what do you want?" By that time I was fed up with the lack of aircon (and power steering) in the Fiesta, and since only larger cars had aicon back then I ended up with the Peugeot 306 (rather than the 206), discovered I could get my bike into the back of it, and there we were.

You could buy an old one and get it converted at great expense:

You could also convert it yourself at great time expense, and "only" high monetary expense. I helped convert a Mazda MX-5 to electric back when LFP cells were fairly new (2009) in just 5 short years

Fortunately the other guy paid for it. It was a great time.

Probably too many controls on the f$%^%&*$ touch screen ! stars are lost for very odd reasons these days. All we want is a car that protects us in a crash!
Thats why I like my old MG5 (lots of buttons and switchesin the ight place!).
