Can't help thinking that the current crop of "mainstream" electric vehicles, although looking very much like real cars now, are just so disappointing in terms of range, convenience and especially price. We would all give them a go if they were cheap enough, and cost us less to run.

Did a bit of reading about Nikola Tesla prompted by Jim's guess. The current crop of innovative minds maybe aren't working in the field of electric "volkswagens". I am sure Tesla would have perfected his wireless transmission of electric energy by now, and solved the limitations of the rechargeable battery

No, I used resources available to us all (and I also explained what I used!).

I really should install the sarcastic font James. I have been known to use the same resource in the past. Try and avoid it here though.

The Tesla dash is a bit more upmarket than the one sought:

I did wait nearly a day before I did a Google search.

Shame it's not a Ford...

Otherwise we'd have had a Ford in a ford...

I'll get my coat...

The bridge is still standing, and the location is famous enough for someone to paint a picture of it. (no points for the morris traveller!)

If you could have peered into the the car driving through the ford you may well have seen something like this



is that a car radio?

big cats do like water though, unlike Fix Or Repair Daily's, as they were famous for not wanting to go/start with the slightest bit of dam in the air

Now that's a proper car wireless

It'll be a valve one with a vibrator power supply...

Listen to it with the engine off and the battery would be flat in no time at all.. Many were caught out...

Vibrator power supplies were used to generate the high tension (HT) the valves needed. They were fascinating things and worked on much the same principle of a modern inverter but was electro-mechanical..

The power supply for the wireless would be under the bonnet as they were far too noisy to be in the cabin...
