ANDREW WHITTAM
Founder
With over 45 years of high-tech engineering experience, my career began in Britain as an aircraft engineer specializing in avionics and electronics.
I became a pilot/engineer in Saudi Arabia, Papua New Guinea, Australia and the Seychelles before joining British Airways. After 25 years with BA, I finished flying in 2021 as a 777 Captain.
Now I've gone full circle - I'm back inside of an engine.
I've had a lifelong passion for vintage car and motorcycle restoration. Growing up in Cyprus in the 1960s, my family had a Land Rover during my father's time in the Royal Air Force. This early exposure sparked my passion for Land Rovers from a young age, and I've been a classic car enthusiast and engineer ever since.
All of that experience has given me valuable insight and a network of global contacts.
Vision
Our philosophy is to stay true to these iconic vehicles and preserve the original aesthetics whenever possible.
"I love the heritage of classic cars that embody a simple beautiful design. They have a few wrinkles and creases
like all of us, but as an EV they now have a
heart of ultra-modern technology." AW
