Pink Floyd and the Electric Bond Bug 

I still savour the moment I passed a V8 Rover in mine and realised he had the equivalent of 5 of my engines, 4 for the road wheels and one for the spare. It handled brilliantly. Lights, wiper and heater all very impractical, worse still mine was the basic model (now the rarest of all) with its steel steering wheel. The heater gave out about as much heat as a 20 watt lightbulb (this electric version can’t possibly be worse) and the engine roasted one in summer. Not very practical for a 22 mile round the year commute but I was young and impecunious. Surprisingly practical in snow which packed about a ton in around the front wheel and kept it very firmly attached to the road. I much admire the side screens on this one, they look to incorporate proper windows - can that be true?

Bring it back for all of us!!!!

love it. an electric bug 😍😍

I like some of those modern models he had on display.

I owned a bond bug 1972 ubr60k brand spanking new we went every where sold it to buy MG.B do miss it.

Over 6 minutes and we didn't even see the guts of the thing !

Amazing. How have I never seen this suggested before?!

BRILLIANT! - Love the outfit too.....There have been some beautiful engines and it's a shame when they get removed but the 750/850 was never a great design or sound so why not....

I LOVE this. I wonder home much it would sell for?

Very cool. I’m nearly finished restoring my bug and I think the engine may have come from this one. It would be interesting to know how much this cost to convert and also does it have a heater?

But no heat in the cold winter.

How's this for Irony. 100% true story. I had a Bond Bug until some 14yr old on his Milk round and driving the old Electric milk float run into it early one morning. ( Written Off by an electric vehicle ! )

You'll get plenty hot enough when the batteries go pop! 😂

DVLA getting picky about these conversions now. Saying they must go for SVA test if there are alterations to the chassis/monocoque.

Electric vehicles are not green. Not practical and not appropriate in a classic vehicle imo
