Enfield for sale in Practical Classics

Postby aminorjourney » Thu May 24, 2007 7:55 pm

There's currently an Enfield for sale in Mid Glamorgan. It's advertised in Practical Classics if anyone is interested at a price of £2,300.

Nikki.

(Not mine by the way - just spotted it)

Wish I had the dosh. Just had to pay about the asking price of the Enfield to have some work done on my Maestro ;)

Ouch... You have my sympathies.

Good to see some Meastros on the road though. You could always convert it - it's got some nice space for batteries!

Not the usual reaction :) The number I've owned is in double figures but I only have the one at the moment, had this one since 1994. Just had the wheel bearings replaced, suspension rebuilt, steering done, brakes done, some dyno work and a new MOT. Underneath it's totally solid so once the bodywork's redone I'll be buying a carcoon.

Thought about it but they're quite heavy cars. When I'm up to speed on EVs, and if I don't find an Enfield, I'll possibly buy an unfinished kit car and convert it. I asked the guys who do the work on my Maestro engine to help me build an electric car but they just laughed at me :( Their loss! Thought it would've been good publicity for them.

Well, I'm converting a Morris Minor and the Meastro could be fairly easily converted since the systems are pretty much mechanical rather than electrical (that's if you have an early A+ series engined one )

Not quite :twisted: A seven year old picture but you get the idea :wink:

However, I do have one of the most inappropriately named vehicles that I'd be prepared to convert. What about a 1972 lightweight Landy?

Yeah, that’s my old banger :oops:

Thought I was the only person who still read that mag :lol:

The journalist had a go but he was a real wuss, he never came near to giving it full throttle. I tried to tell him what to do but he was too scared to take it out again.

Ah well, maybe he was to embarrassed to be seen in a Maestro

So..What about a Landy EV conversion?
