Post by RupertBryan »

BREAKING heart and project as selling Fully Electric Conversion Project converted with 2013 Ford Connect Azure van

£12,500 sold as seen or breaking as follows:

Long-term project with significant investment and high-value components.

The vehicle is very close to road legal and has even been tested at Millbrook Proving Ground .

Unfortunately, due to two unresolved electrical faults and a change in personal circumstances, the project is now being sold as seen.

This is an excellent opportunity for an EV conversion specialist, restorer, or parts buyer.
The individual components alone are valued at £30,000+.

Key Components Included

Batteries for sale
200 x VL41M Ford Transit Connect cells (Johnsons Controls)
Total capacity: approx. 28 kWh
Value: £5,000 for 200 batteries or £50 per cell (all tested and working with minimal use)
Only interested in selling batteries in batches of 50 for £1750

Electric Motor: Siemens EV motor
Part/Serial: 3800825
Approx. 300 hp continuous, up to 1000 hp peak (short burst)
Very low mileage (approx. 50 miles)
£1,200

Reduction Gearbox:
NEW Torque Trends reduction gearbox
Unit number: 000792
£1750 (originally £4250)

Drivetrain:

Important Notes
Vehicle is very close to being road legal but currently has two unresolved electrical faults sold as seen, as a project or for parts.
