By the way - that Porsche interior was part of the upgrade. You should see her cut in and out of traffic. -

From the seller: I have driven it at 35 miles an hour. The 8 volt batterys are the trick. Everyone else uses 6 volt and some of the restorers scrimp on the number of batteries -
My fault - now I know where to look for guidance. Thanks.

I'm not sure John but the owner did drive it quite a bit and I think he would be familiar with the speed. I will check one more time to confirm. -
And I thought it was just me. ...
