Vintage Voltage returns for a second series as Richard “Moggy” Morgan and his team of experts restore and convert more classic cars to run on electric power.
The Electric Classic Cars team have a massive challenge to convert a classic Mini from petrol to electric power. This classic 1967 Mk1 Austin Mini has been in the same family for over 50 years and now the owner wants to transform it to electric for the next generation – his daughters.
Moggy and his team of engineering specialists need to keep the look and driving appeal of the original while pushing the boundaries of performance by adding a 300hp motor. But they’ll have to come up with some clever engineering solutions and bespoke finishing touches to ensure the finished car lives up to its legendary status.
