I found it @ http://www.electric-cars-plans.com/

I suspect like most of these plan sets that very few people would ever complete a vehicle.

Can't say I'm very impressed with it, but the designers name is familiar to me from racing circles.

The choice of Triumph Herrald/Spitfire suspension strikes me as seriously out of touch these days. The front is light and strong but increasingly hard to find and the swing axle rear is just horrible.

Oh the Jeffry !

Yeah seen that quite some time back. I can't really see it takingoff but then there's quite a few sites selling plans to build cars some of which are pretty snazzy looking designs though often very dated.

It would be interesting to know of anyone who's actually built one of these. It's not something I'd build and as Paul says is snookered by the use of pretty much non available items such as the Triumph front end (However I have that set up on my Ginetta :wink: ) But then I think my Ginetta looks way better and lets face it it is not far short of a road legal race car where as the Jeffry is a poor mans Metro then again Metros are sub £100 so maybe it's a rich man's Metro hmmmm

Anyways nicely done site and what's wrong with trying to promote the home built car!
:D

PS here's my Ginetta I hope you agree it's better looking but then I am biased as I built it. Better use of a Spitfire front end ???
