This was on ebay last year....
I thought it may have sold.....
Very interesting "engine"....

How many batteries?? what sort of Batteries?
Deep Cycle "expensive" batteries??

One of a Kind for sure....

All Auto electricians should drive an electric car.....

Even Porsche made some in His younger days....

It should have been at the Nationals.....
$5 a drive...

:Lee

the batts that were in it good for a 100km,would spin the wheels off the mark,has no clutch....4 speed.
the only reason selling is he found a better electric car....
just ring him,he will tell you what is all worth..
cheers

what wood it b like with a five speed box ??

with fuel prices today you may as well check these things out.

this is the ine that was sold via ebay last year from brissy i assume?

Hats off the this car- and the modifyer!!!!

Someone with an environmental ethic and likely a VW enthusiast has put a lot of effort into converting this fastback and i think its farken great!! Would make an ideal daily driver/comuter - speed just doesnt come into it! The cost of batteries are more reasonable than you think, and would pay for themselves over and over again!!

plug that thing in at home, the cops will come knocking, using all that power to charge it, the will think your running a meth lab.... love it.

Warb - I think your statement that 'cops will think' is rash and misleading - that rarely happens!

:thumb

haha, yes shame on me.. they will 'assume' :P

I wonder how much weight could be stripped from this fastback to improve the life of the batteries, and drivability!
I rekon it would be great stripped of all body crap, bumpers etc, matt black paint, a set of alloy cooky cutters, lowered, tinted and looking fat!! The current sad appearance doesnt do it justice...

this thing drives well,seen it take off,spins the wheel no problems,you could pull it out off this fasty and stick the gear in a early beetle,much lighter...give paul a ring about it

Could be used as a portable defribulator as well....

I thought my computer speakers were broken...until I herd the sound of tyre squeal...

I hate to rain on your parade.

If that electric Type 3 is charged up by plugging it into the mains via a charger, then it is not environmentally sound as IT RUNS ON COAL.

It would have to be recharged by wind or solar to begin to be environmentally sound.

As it is, IT RUNS ON COAL, coal is about the dirtiest way to generate electricity and that SUCKS MAJOR.

Recently one of our state governments (NSW?) has bought a whole lot of so called green cars that plug into the grid to be recharged. They are therefore not green as THEY RUN ON COAL.
