Yes, that's official.

Modern batteries are nkw more often than not LiFePo4, with active cooling and heating g, very clever charging management, etc.

That's worth my keeping in mind. I had been somewhat nervous about even a 5 year old lecci car whilst I happily bought my last two petrol cars at 10 years old

Actually it was doing a job for the owner bringing a load of stuff to the dump then went round the corner to park up, and presumably be driven home later

Actually it was doing a job for the owner bringing a load of stuff to the dump then went round the corner to park up, just in case it was picked up and skipped by the grabber operator.

I worked with a bloke who re-chassied his series one Landy rather than scrap it, apparently you can buy them to original spec, not cheap but better than modding a later one to fit.

Two new chassis and engines and one new body !

You could get new chassis for Triumph Vitesses and Heralds too, but I didn't pursue it in the end

EDIT: something I wasn't aware of till recently is that if something is galvanised it is problematic if it subsequently needs welding as the zinc fumes are toxic. Welders would drink milk as a supposed help but I think it would cause neurological problems. Maybe a reason to not select a galve'd chassis for such a vehicle?
