Thanks for this Richard. This is the car I learned to drive stick shift on. The 40kWh battery is really more than I would have thought they could get into it as an E Type is quiet small compared to modern cars.
I had (have) a 72 Spitfire and had a 79 that had no engine or transmission that I grabbed some parts off of and resold. Way back in the early 90's some guy filled one with lead acid batteries and had a power cord that came out the gas cap. I wish I still had that 79 so I could have a Spitlightning. The weak little engine in that Spitfire would be much better served by a good electric power train. That E Type on the other hand had, lets just say, more power than a 16 year old should ever have on Georgia back roads.
