Wilson electric car (and others made in Leicestershire)
Posted: Thu Jun 17, 2010 3:58 pm
Dear Forum members,
This is a bit of a strange request, and I’m not sure where to put this so mods, please move if appropriate.
I am trying to find out some more information, photos and hopefully see a Partridge Wilson electric car (or indeed, any of the Leicestershire built cars)
I work for an organisation called Prospect Leicestershire, and we work to promote the area as a location for Businesses. If we can get them to relocate to or start here, they will create jobs for the local economy. The work we do is free to the companies. But I digress…
I am preparing a report on the “future fuel vehicle” industry, highlighting what we had, and what we have got to attract manufacturing into Leicestershire.
On studying the area I was amazed to find that Leicester had so many electric vehicle manufacturers- some others I have heard of are Harbuilt, Brush with their “pony”, and the Partridge Wilson. I have found a b&w photo on this forum, but I would like to contact the owner to ask permission to use photos of their car, plus any information on it. So can the person contact me please
Also, I would be very keen to hear/see any other electric, hydrogen (basically, not petrol or diesel!) fuelled vehicles which have been made in Leicestershire. I’m pretty sure we have a big future, and I would like to reflect the past.
All help appreciated
Kind regards
