[Fot] Converting a TR250 to an Automatic Transmission

[Bill]

You don’t have to go that far afield, EV West in California sells kits and does conversion work. They were a bit unresponsive when I tried to deal with them but I hear they’ve gotten better.

He really loves the car and would like to continue driving it as long as he is able.  Does anyone know of a person or company who has done this?   I suppose a complete engine AND gearbox swap might be an option but he would prefer to keep his original engine.
