Triumph Spitfire

In Progress

The club’s newest project is our conversion of a 1969 Triumph Spitfire to a 100% electric vehicle. The vehicle was based on a design produced for Standard-Triumph in 1947 by Italian designer Giovanni Michelotti.

Work Done:

• The construction of one car body from the bottom half of one car and the top half of another
• The placement of 12 electric batteries in various compartments of the vehicle
• The positioning and connecting of the controller, transmission, and DC-DC convertor to allow the car to operate efficiently
• Rewiring of the front and rear lighting systems
• Repair of brake and acceleration systems
• Rewiring of the dashboard to suit EV readings
