Electric Vogue

This blog documents the restoration, and conversion, of a 1965 Humber (Singer) Vogue to a fully electric vehicle. The Vogue will be powered by an 11kW(modified), 3 phase industrial AC motor, controlled by an industry standard Variable Speed Drive (VSD) or Inverter. To be able to produce the 400 volts phase to phase the VSD will need about 600 VDC of batteries. A big thanks to the contributors on the AEVA forum: http://forums.aeva.asn.au/forums/

Winding Window Refurbishing

A few delays going on at the moment. One of them is the search for a "Bailey Channel" that matches the original fitted to the Vogue. Bailey Channel is the name given to the felt lined slotted stuff in which your winding windows slide up and down.

We have given up on an exact match and a long search may have ended up finding one that is made (a replica) for the EH Holden.
This is what we were looking for.
