BEST OF BOTH WORLDS


Tired of your classic leaking oil and breaking down? Maybe this is the solution


ow do you future-proof a classic? One way is to electrify it while keeping the chassis, body and


original vehicle architecture, so the installation is fully reversible. This is precisely what Oxfordshire,

fi rst electrifi ed series Land Rover in North America. It would be a mistake to view the


vehicle as just a conversion. Far too much engineering has taken place. From vehicle acquisition to the completion of testing and handover to client can take anything up to 18 months. The company prefers to use the phrase “restore and redefi ne.” Everrati’s Lead Systems Engineer,


Jack Bolt explains the procedure: “We apply a full OE-style development process. Firstly, we weigh it. Weight distribution is extremely important. We aim to keep the driving characteristics as close to the original as possible. Next, we remove all of the internal combustion components (engine, gearbox, fuel tank etc), then we 3-D scan everything, with particular attention to the engine bay.
