Oil tight Austin Seven?

[Colin Morgan]

An interesting exercise.  However, if you put an electric motor in a Seven, it may produce something usable, but the driving experience will be nothing like the original.  If the idea is to be appearing to run round in a Seven, this might also work - but it is more like a fairground attraction than an historic vehicle?  With modern advances in motor and battery technology, with some expenditure, the electric installation could mimic the petrol engine in terms of performance and range without a weight gain, I imagine?  But why in a Seven - what does this add?

Those silicone gaskets that Ruairidh mentions elsewhere appear to be the way towards keeping the garage floor drip free for most of us.
