The Big Tomali comprises a replica of a BMW Isetta 300 three-wheeler with electric drive. Fabricated in steel and GRP from \u00a312,000.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sparky Automotive can offer a fully built and tested unit off-the-shelf which they guarantee is road-legal. The car benefits from steel and plastic construction which in combination with the absence of a petrol engine and transmission results in a car light enough to be driven by a hub electric motor. Similarly, the overall weight savings are such that the car can get a respectable range from a minimum weight of batteries.<br \/>\nAlternatively, anyone with a well-equipped garage could purchase a kit and assemble it over a weekend. This has the twin advantages of reducing the cost &#8211; \u00a34000 for a basic rolling chassis kit.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, they can supply a (near) completed car in kit form. This comprises the above rolling chassis plus a glassfibre bodyshell and door for \u00a37000. The customer will have to add windows, door fixings, painting and other items for a complete and roadworthy vehicle.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For further information contact Sparky Automotive on 0208 560 1970 or visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.openservices.web.com\/\">www.openservices.web.com<\/a> <strong>ENDS.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Martin Langley, the man behind the electric Sparky iZett (Isetta 300 replica) project has been in touch with an update on how the little car <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/2022\/07\/28\/im-forever-blowing-bubbles\/\" title=\"I&#039;M FOREVER BLOWING BUBBLES &#8230;\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24217","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24217","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24217"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24217\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24217"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24217"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24217"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
