What is a Rowan electric???
There is a long answer.....This is too short to do it justice but...
DeTomaso's wife is part of the family that owns/built Rowan Industries....That company later owned part of Detomaso USA, I think before Ford bought in....and Rowan working with DeT, they built a couple of electric cars....
This is well described in books on DeT.

Thanks Chuck, my girlfriend thought it was a vibrator and wanted one.

I suggest she sit in your lap while you drive your Pantera !

Oh my! Do I ever feel foolish. It took all these years to find out why the steering wheel was offset so much. More room for two behind the wheel!! (I'll be in the garage)

Can't help you. My DeTomaso Buyers Guide says that approximately three (3) prototypes wre built in the period 1967-1970. At least 3 different 48-volt DC motors wrre mentioned, all driving the rear wheels. Batteries wre in both ends of the tiny car. This car was never maufactured, so what you have is a true prototype, and it sounds like you don't have a complete one, either. A few photos are shown in the out-of-print Buyers Guide. Possibly, the factory rep could give some info. Try claudia.lodi@detomaso.it She speaks excellent english and is quite helpful if very busy. Good luck.
