With this being my 14th (or is it 15th) A7 since I started in 1963, I'm more than familiar with the 2psi 'spit & hope' engine lubrication, the crank-case compression fumes, vicious clutch, useless 1st gear, 6 volt dynamo's, chipped flywheel and leaking oil into the clutch, not to mention the lack of a heater. Removing EVERYTHING saved >240 kilo's and electric offers an improvable FUTURE when petrol will be TOO expensive to buy and a cost on the planet. Every one of my A7's was a rescue.
But then why not just buy a Twizy?
