The battery on a Tuscan is in the wheel well. Sort of makes sense when it has fully electric doors so it has to be externally accessible, but still - LOL TVR, doing it the hard way since 1947.

It’s the British way. Keeping people on their toes so they don’t become complacent.
Try getting into and then out of a TVR.

I’d rather not. I tried getting into a VX220 once, had to go in both feet first and come out arse backwards. I’m sure the salesman still has night terrors about it.

That’s where it is on the Stringbean. I drive a TVR now.

I was about to say. This isn't even rare, at least in the US.

It looks like TVR designed it well enough to keep the battery from getting exposed to elements. I hope they put some sort of plate between it and the passenger compartment in the case of a crash.

This gives me a sick sort of satisfaction.
I’ve been working on my MR2 recently and it’s been very difficult. Something about a FWD-style I4 mounted in a tight little cubby in the back just makes everything difficult, not like the cavernous front areas the same engine would usually live in. It’s most frustrating.
But it also has the battery in the frunk, requiring you to remove the tools and spare tyre. I like that and I like this and I like TVR.
