73 Triumph Spitfire EV Conversion?

I have a '73 Spitfire that I bought as a restoration project. Well, after seeing online how someone had converted their spitfire to EV, I thought, "Hmmm."


What do you think? The car fulfills all the criteria for a good conversion vehicle (small, manual transmission, lightweight, with no pesky on-board computer). Do you know anything about "Ampmobiles" in South Carolina? They seem to be the closest conversion shop to me. There's no way I would attempt this myself.

Hey, Charlie!
Yes, yes, yes.
You're on the right track all the way around. I do know Ampmobiles in Ft. Wylie, as a matter of fact. Read my interview with them here; )
I love this car. I LOVE this car. It's beautiful, it's going to make a great EV, and you're going to love it, too!

Regards,
Lynne
