Steve wow thats very cool/interesting to see! I always find older conversions like this quite interesting, before there where comercial EV cars to pillage components from (although those conversions are interesting in their own right) its interesting how modern looking your conversion is given how long ago it was, the motor especially looks surprisingly small and compact I was picturing something like a big Brushed DC motor, milk-float style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're made by Agni now: AGNI Motors For the time it was a very high power to weight ratio and it's still a very competitive motor. It's torque output was perfect for the 2CV, 40Nm peak, with full torque available at any speed! Steve LightBulbFun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinceRupert Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Quick question: how do I stop it being necessary for my replies to be approved by a moderator?

Anyhow, short of not wanting to start an unnecessary new thread, does anyone know if there is a thread for "fake" shitboxes? MR2 based Ferraris, that kind of thing? Surely that's the ultimate in autoshite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxtrot sierra Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Hi all,I'm Paul.This is my maestro that I'm trying to find a new home for.I wasn't especially looking to buy a maestro or any classic for that matter but the car found me,here's how. A mate of mine was tasked with selling this on behalf of a friend of a friend etc.Upon seeing that beige interior it sparked a memory and that was that,I had to have it,only problem was it had been off the road for 19 years,had no mot or key and was 100 miles away. Luckily I'd managed to find a lockset then got it recovered to chez Wirral for further inspection.Once I drained the tank and checked the carb I put new fuel in and it started and ran sweet.I recommissioned it over the year with the intention of taking it to a few shows then I'd try to sell it.However,this was just before the virus was a thing and then lockdown happened and that put pay to any shows or trying to sell it,so I've waited till now to get it tested, which it sailed through before putting it up forsale.The thing I like most about it is it's patina which tells a story.The car still wears it's dealer plates and stickers and is a great survivor car.

Yank Tank Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Well hello. Bob here - Ex pat now working out of Mountain View, CA. 'bout 10 miles from San Jose on the west coast of the states. What you guys call Silicone Valley. I heard you guys mentioned on Twitter a few weeks ago so thought I'd take a look. As my handle suggests, I'm predominantly interested in 1950-1970s trucks, but also love to see the cars of my youth being preserved.

Have you tried ebay.com, rather than .co.uk ? Postage is likely to be prohibitive I guess, but that's the joy of running cars from the other side of the tracks. 😁 eddyramrod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dyslexic Viking Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Hi everyone I've been lurking around here for a while so it's time I signed up. I am a weirdo living in the deep woods of southern Norway and spend a lot of time on old tractors and cars. I have a broad interest in everything from cars to trucks / buses to Soviet / Eastern Bloc agricultural machinery to everything in between. history and more. I am also dyslexic and not native English speaking so sorry if things get weird at times. When it comes to cars, there is not much interesting happening right now. But of previous cars I can mention 2 highlights. One a total shitheap of a Seat Ibiza which was roll painted with hammerite paint and consisting mostly of filler and had a rust hole in the floor so big that I was afraid that the dog would fall through. And the other a tired Volvo 740 estate in faded red with hammerite black roller painted roof after a blasting accident that I lived in for a short period and drove to northern Norway through Sweden and Finland on a long trip in 2014.
