The time has come to let the Porsche and the MG move on to new owners. I'm out of garage space (truthfully have been for some time now) and since my back injury have been unable to enjoy the garage time that I used to.
The
eBugeye repair is nearing completion so it will be coming home soon. The new Tesla is occupying its share of the space and the wife would love to have her Prius back under cover as well. That means it's time for a clearance sale!

Built from a solid rust-free Texas donor, this Porsche is well sorted and runs great! It's nicely appointed with fresh Wet Okole heated seat covers and is very comfortable.
Range is around 50 miles with the current battery pack. I generally drive it in fourth gear (direct drive) and performance is excellent. If you want "Ludicrous Mode", start in second gear for thrills.
Tires and all running gear are excellent. It has power brakes, power steering, electric window lifts, air conditioning, and Bluetooth AM/FM radio with hands-free phone support.
This Porsche EV has served me well as a reliable daily driver and exhibits well at Car Shows. This vehicle is sold!
1952 MG TD Replica

Built on fully restored 1974 VW Beetle chassis with Netgain Impulse9 DC Motor, Soliton1 Controller, Elcon Charger, Thunderstruck Charge controller and BMS. All high voltage wiring in place, needs a fresh battery pack. If you'd like a straight forward project, then this is for you! Dare I say it would be easy to retrofit a VW motor if that's what you'd prefer.

This is a high quality fiberglass replica of an early 1950's MG TD built on a 1974 VW Beetle chassis. Every moving part has been replaced as well as the floorboards. The paint and interior are stunning! It's literally a brand new vehicle.
I anticipate around 50+ miles of range with a new battery pack, perfect for around town use. A custom tow bar is included if you'd like to take it to destinations that are out of range. The MG TD charges from standard J1772 public or private charging stations.
It's great fun to drive and quite sporty. It gets attention at stop lights and is a hit at Car Shows.Please contact me at fred.behning@gmail.com or text (512) 689-3595 if you are interested. I'll be happy to provide additional photos or other information.

Robert Juarez of Pro Automotive reports that the body work and paint is all done - smooth and shiny again! Next step is to fabricate the new battery box that will lift into place in the boot floor. I'm adding four battery cells to bring it up to 48 cells total - balanced between 24 front and 24 rear. That gives us a nominal 15.4 kWh capacity which should be good for ~75 mile range.
