Your Classic Deserves To Be Driven

We convert Land Rovers & Jaguar E-Types to electric --

so beautiful vehicles stop sitting in garages and start getting used.

IT'S A STORY WE HEAR CONSTANTLY

You own something extraordinary.

 

A Land Rover that turns every head on the beach. A Jaguar E-Type that stops people in the street.

 

A vehicle with a history — maybe even a story attached to it that money can't replicate. 

 

And it's sitting there.

Not because you don't love it.

Because classic internal combustion engines need constant attention, and when they don't get it,

they become more unreliable.

 

It's a vicious circle. The clutch needs slipping in traffic. The electrics play up. Then there's the diesel fumes. 

 

And nobody in the family — honestly, probably not even you — wants to deal with that on a Sunday morning when you just want to have fun.

 

So the car sits. And gets worse.

 

There's a better way.

THE SOLUTION

Electric Conversion Changes

Everything.

When we convert your classic to electric, we're not just swapping out an engine. We're removing almost every reason you weren't using it.

No clutch. No gearbox. No oil changes

No fuel system headaches, no old-school electrics that fail when they sit too long.

 

One client asked us recently what his converted Jaguar needed servicing. We looked at it and said . . . NOTHING.

 

Apart from the original brakes — which, thanks to regenerative power, you'll barely touch anyway —

there is simply nothing to maintain.

 

Anyone in your family can drive it. Your spouse. Your kids.

ANYONE.

UNLIKE YOUR OTHER CARS THIS ONE WILL ACTUALLY GET USED

We've had clients tell us their other vehicles — Ferraris, Mercedes, all of it — sit untouched because they're too busy driving their electric Land Rover.

​

It's gone from a 9 out of 10 in difficulty to drive — to a 3.

BUILT FOR ICONIC CLASSICS

We specialise in vehicles where electric conversion makes real sense — financially, practically, and emotionally.

We convert a range of vehicles.

​

LAND ROVER DEFENDER 

 

There are hundreds of classic Land Rovers in the Hamptons, on Nantucket, in Martha's Vineyard.

 

Most of them are painful to drive in traffic — noisy, smoky, mechanical.

 

Ours are smooth, silent, and powerful. Perfect for the beach.

 

Perfect for the island. Perfect for anyone who wants to get behind the wheel.

 

Range: approximately 120–150 miles per charge.

JAGUAR E-TYPE 

 

Enzo Ferrari called it the most beautiful car ever made.

 

We think it deserves to be driven, not trailered to shows and back.

 

With only one moving part in the drivetrain and a far more aerodynamic body than a Land Rover, the E-Type is a natural fit for electric conversion — and extraordinary to drive.

​

Range: approximately 250 miles per charge.

CLASSIC MINI COOPER

YOU'RE TALKING TO THE PERSON UNDER THE HOOD

We're a small specialist operation. That's deliberate.

40+ Years of Engineering Experience 

Airline command. Classic car restoration. We bring a standard of engineering discipline to these vehicles that most conversion shops simply can't match.

​

Our founder spent 40 years as an aircraft engineer and 25 years as a British Airways captain. He built his first EV conversion prototype in a borrowed corner of a factory, over 18 months, to prove it could be done properly.

​

When it was, he evaluated every serious EV conversion system in the world and partnered exclusively with Electrogenic — the British engineering company widely regarded as the best in the business. We Are An Exclusive Electrogenic Partner - one of only a handful of authorised US installers of Electrogenic's industry-leading turnkey EV systems.

​

When you work with us, you're not dealing with a sales team or a national franchise. You're working with the engineer who will personally design, build, and test your conversion. Every person who has visited our workshop has gone ahead with their vehicle.

 

Not because of a hard sell — because when you see the work, meet the person doing it, and understand how seriously we take the engineering, the decision tends to make itself.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

A client in Santa Monica took delivery of his 1970s Jaguar E-Type last year. He's since sold his other cars. He uses the Jaguar every day.

​

We delivered a 1970s open-top Land Rover to a client in New Jersey in the middle of a snowstorm. He hasn't touched his Mercedes since.

​

One of our Land Rover clients — a man who also owns Ferraris and Porsches — told us our conversion is the most fun vehicle he's ever driven. He didn't expect that either.

WE'LL TELL YOU IF IT'S NOT RIGHT FOR YOU

We turn away more inquiries than we accept.

We evaluate every vehicle and every client's situation individually. If your vehicle isn't a strong value proposition for conversion — if the cost doesn't make sense relative to what the car is worth, or if your situation isn't the right fit — we'll tell you. Clearly, early, and without any pressure.

 

We've refused to convert a one-of-ten classic racing Porsche on principle, because that car needed its original engine back in, not an electric motor.

 

This isn't a sales operation. It's an engineering practice that happens to do very good business with clients who get that distinction.

 

If you're curious whether your vehicle qualifies, start with a conversation. No commitment, no hard sell. Just an honest answer.
