Ayrton & Perry 1881

Ayrton & Perry 1881

One of the oldest electric car of the world, the car build by British William Ayrton and John Perry, was reborn for one of the most exiting car museum, the German Autovision.

This car, considered the second electric car ever built, circulated in England in 1881, some month after the presentation of another electric car, the French Gustave Trouvé. Rebuilding this car was not very easy, just why there is very little known about it and it wasn´t easy to learn how the car orginally was. But now it is working well and a big surprise for everyone visiting this museum.
