A two-door, two-seater electric car called the Vanguard Citicar was produced from 1974 to 1976. It had a top speed of 44 mph (70 kph) and a typical warm weather range of 40 miles (64 km). Check the top speed figure.
It was fitted with 8 x 6V lead acid batteries. About 2,200 cars were produced.
In 1977 the company producing the car was sold and the new owner started to build a new version of the car, whilst maintaining the original shape. The original 3.8hp motor was replaced by a 5hp one.
The improved car was called “ComutaCar”. In about 1986 the ComutaCar Company ceased trading.
