Why

For the love of cars

  • Longevity: How can we interest younger people in classic cars; and keep classics on the road?
  • Accessibility: How can we make classics more accessible, reliable and user friendly for everyday driving and everyday drivers?

​

  • EV conversion is not for everyone and it is not for every classic car.

Approach

Respect the original

  • Fully reversible: Use existing mounting points, no chassis modifications.
  • Subtle mod cons: Reversing camera, integrated Carplay, Android Auto.
  • Not obviously electric: Manufacturer quality build.
