We are going to be at Fully Charged Live on the 29th of April till the 1st of May in the converted classics zone, come and say Hi!

Watch our video for details of which cars we will be taking and what we will be doing whilst we are there.

The video also features a walk around from last years show so you can get an idea of what is there.

We have been working hard on the EV component install over the past few weeks and today can update you on progress.

Take a look at the video that explains where we have gotten.

Another test drive an opinion on the Nissan Newbird (Bluebird EV Conversion)

What do you guys think of it? – Embarrassingly we have never asked, comment or contact us to let us know?

Nissan Bluebird EV review: Anyone order an electric taxi?

We were delighted today to come across a 4 page feature in Autocar Magazine featuring Nissan Bluebird that we converted to electric – now rechristened Newbird.

If your interested why not pop out and get a copy, its got loads of other great content too – including features about Tesla model Y and Toyotas new EV

Over the last few weeks we have been getting a start on our next conversion – a 1968 Morris Minor Traveller.

The car is getting an 80kw Motor from a leaf along with 16 battery modules from a 30kWh leaf giving it approx 20kWh’s of battery storage.

Here is our first update video on the project

The next conversion in the workshop just arrived.

Can you guess what it is?

All will be revealed next week when we give you Images, video and the full story on the plans for the next in the line. Its a beauty of a car and we are all excited to have it with us 🙂

We love this work – “Are you converted yet?”

The Newbird returned today as the guys from Autocar magazine came to visit and drive it to the Nissan plant in Sunderland. Great to meet the guys and talk conversions. We will post when the article comes out.

We also discovered that another YouTube channel, Hubnut, has had the car and done a video on it. Check it out.

Yesterday I had a conversation with a customer who bought a leaf from us and it made me realise how much of a Nissan Leaf specialist we really are. They told me they both the car from us because –

1. We sourced the right leaf for them and didn’t just try to sell them a car we had in stock that might not be right for them
2. We were passionate and deeply knowledgeable about not only the car but the whole ownership process.
3. They had been told by other customers that we don’t just sell the car then forget about the customer. As its usually a new experience for our customers we make sure we are there 24/7. Each customer gets George’s direct mobile number to call anytime they may need help or advice.
4. We not only sell Leafs but as we buy crashed ones to use their motors and batteries in our conversions we have a [...]

I couldn’t help myself posting about this – one of my favourite parts of the conversions we do – well the rear wheel drive ones is the custom aluminium adapters we have made to join the motor and gearbox.

The really sad part is that you don’t get to see them once the car is fully assembled (less you scoot underneath!)

The next update video will give more detail so subscribe to our YouTube channel here but for now here are a few more images
