- Comments Off on Newbird filming with Jonny Smith & the Nissan heritage fleet
Earlier in December we had the chance to visit the Nissan heritage fleet and do some filming on the Nissan Newbird with Jonny Smith for his late brake show YouTube channel.

As our business has developed over the past 2 years (and what a 2 years it was to be a start up business) and things have changed. We have decided to stop selling classic cars and soles focus on Electric Vehicles. We now offer Electric Conversions of Classic cars and the sourcing and sale of used electric vehicles.
