Interesting that it's fitted with a Tachograph. Clearly useful for limiting driver fatigue on long journeys!

Hi
I don't think Enfield Automotive is connected to Royal Enfield.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enfield_Automotive
There is one at MOSI Manchester.

| Quote: | Early versions were fitted with 8 x 12-volt traction batteries and a single 12-volt accessory battery. The traction batteries were set up in parallel pairs, with the pairs connected in series to provide 48 volts. Problems with unequal charging and discharging of the parallel pairs resulted in the use of 8 x 6-volt batteries wired as a single series string (still producing 48 volts) being used in later versions of the car.
Six lead acid batteries rated at 165 Ah are used ( 3 in the front and 3 in the back). |
These two statements are actually from the same text. I guess the batteries are 165Ah each!

6 x $170 = $1020 (~£640)

I wondered that, I could understand someone weighing them in though!
