[Video] A Classic Mini Electric Adventure

The Mini is as classic a British icon as the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Bowie, beans on toast, saying the word bloody and Yorkshire puddings. The Swind-E Classic presents a new take on the Austin Mini of old, using new electric tech for zero-emission classic car ownership. Their set up can be based on any Mini you want (old Countryman, Clubman, Cooper or just an early 1980s City like this) and then fully restored to incorporate a 24kWh lithium-ion battery pack under the transmission tunnel, an 80kw electric motor under the bonnet and range for over 125 miles.
