LIKE if you think converting to electric is a way of preserving classic cars & SHARE if you think all new cars should be electric

This might look like a classic red Ferrari 308 GTS but it has one little secret - its 100% electric.

While some will see this conversion of such a classic car as controversial, it's now a faster, lighter and more practical car which gets far more usage than its combustion engine predecessor. This classic Ferrari was lovingly converted by Richard Morgan and the team at Electric Classic Cars and Robert was warned to be careful when he took it for a drive as its a 'bit lively!'. This high performance car now has an impressive 500 horsepower and is both exhilarating and terrifying to drive (see Robert's face for proof). So looking to the future, could converting to electric be the solution to preserving these incredible classic cars?
