I only wish the shell was a little newer so that it might capture the public imagination better. How about an convertible MGF shell? That’d look good. Tell me if your friend wants a demo.</p> by: Robot (James May's Metro EV) http://www.evconvert.com/article/james-mays-metro-ev#c000588 <p><strong>James May's Metro EV</strong></p><p>Afternoon Captain.

I hope to post them in a few days. by: James May (James May's Metro EV) http://www.evconvert.com/article/james-mays-metro-ev#c000142 <p><strong>James May's Metro EV</strong></p>Hi Dan, the seats are not raised at all. There is a deep fibreglass battery tray cut in to the floor between the rear footwell and the rear subframe. The battery terminals are just shy of the seat springs – so I’ll need some heavy duty insulator! Pictures coming soon! by: Dan (James May's Metro EV) http://www.evconvert.com/article/james-mays-metro-ev#c000139 <p><strong>James May's Metro EV</strong></p>James, How far do the rear-seat batteries raise the rear seats? How far below the underlying floor do they sit? Can you see them from the underside of the car? <br /> Thanks. by: James May (James May's Metro EV) http://www.evconvert.com/article/james-mays-metro-ev#c000138 <p><strong>James May's Metro EV</strong></p>If I take care of them, 5-7 years. by: Wong PoKér Hu (James May's Metro EV) http://www.evconvert.com/article/james-mays-metro-ev#c000137 <p><strong>James May's Metro EV</strong></p>Haha interesting.
