Not quite ready, but wheels are turning now!
I tried to use the Leaf reduction gearbox. Unfortunately there was no space. So there is now a straight shaft from the bare motor to the rear diff. The motor wont run on optimal RPM, but the original Spitfire engine produces 70 hp at 6000 Rpm, so I hope this will be OK. The car is very low and uses a leaf spring over the rear axels. So putting the complete drivetrain in the rear would be too much work for me. Spring 2026, it will be rolling.
