Brilliant! An 88inch Series 2A Landrover. I love these, our family once owned a 109in wheelbase one back in the day when we lived abroad. Strangely enough at the time I found the steering not too heavy, the play on the other hand was something else. Love those seats.

Really like the idea, I’m sitting on the sidelines at the moment as the battery and motor tech is on a rapid development curve. Depends on the use-case but the charging network isn’t established enough for my use - checking back in 3 yrs time but can see myself going for a conversion. There will also be a lot more choice on conversion companies and EV kits by then. 👍🤓

I don’t think the engines in these were ever the high point, more of a means to an end. So not such a shame to see the old diesel go. Porsches, ferraris etc I’m not so sure about as the engines are works of art in their own right and a key part of the car’s identity.

@@TGE No I can definitely understand the appeal for some people ie living in a city and wanting a classic car without making all the noise and pollution.
