- We go for a little off-road adventure in my Tesla powered Land Rover Defender. There's mud, river crossings, a 0-60 test and some glorious weather and views. All in all a good day out in Mid Wales.

Thats got to be the most reliable land rover ever
No oil leaks on your driveway
@@luisgonzalez-po5qs oil leaks mean like a dog that marks territorial 😁
@@ferdinandusbagas412 more like cat pee cuz you can't clean it away
@@luisgonzalez-po5qs correctly
Haha
This video just makes it so obvious why electric conversion means "second life" for these cars. Great job.
for their owners as well
My guess conversion parts and labor $60k ?
@@mansaha9288 For their bank accounts not so much. It's just fancy stuff for rich people.
Yup, essentially a new car. These engines will last decades too.
'Eternal life...'
I love it how silent it is and you can hear all the natural sounds around you. It's so authentic
Thank you for taking that beauty off road. Mud, dirt, scratchy branches, the river.....lovely.
Great idea... Thats how you make sure the classics are immortal 👍
My favourite part was washing it out on the inside with a hose, and the nice deeper water crossing. I'm sold.
I would love to do this with my 2001 Jeep Cherokee. Classic look, should be a celebrated vintage vehicle in my opinion.
Very nice.
That's absolutely epic, Richard. I love how effortless and capable it is off road and how hilariously rapid it is on road, all while retaining great classic looks. The best LR in the world IMHO
Imagine in the back below the back seats where the soldiers were to sit were filled with batteries... This would be a good SF car.. go days or weeks without charging
Wow! This has really changed my mind on Electric off roading! I want one now! 😍
Omg I love this.
This is the future for classic cars. Makes them new again.
Your electric motor sounds like the whine of a jet engine...LOVE IT!
What a dream! I love old cars, and I love electric cars! ahah
Brilliant! Gripped! I want one.
Fantastic! Supecool! 👏👏👏👏👏👏🙂🏆❤
Fully capable Landy. Water crossings...NO PROBLEM! Long live Land Rover!!!
I love how the body can barely hold on to the chassis when nailing it!!! And THUMBS OUT driving still needed. Love it!!!
Never mind the Landy body. I can barely hold on. 😆😁👍
@@ElectricClassicCars 🤣🤣🤣
Just love your vehicle
It's only mud..thats what water crossings are for, to clean,clean,clean!!!
Absolutely awesome! I would love a Land Rover Forward Control converted 😍😍
Just love it mate I wish I could do this with my 1988 Pajero Shogun
Bloody beautiful mate.
seriously impressed!
At least you're using the Defender for what you built it for, off-roading!
I love how quite it is! Here in the USA, someone showed a Rivian going up a popular rock climb. All you could hear was the tires working. No engine noise at all. That made it a very different video. Love your Land Rover!
Awesome what can we say owned a series 3 swb and have done a lot of off road in Sth Tasmania.Very impressive.
Kinda terrifying in a solid axle vehicle and leaf springs...
I love it!
Series Land Rovers had leaf springs. The Defenders were a bit more modern, but not by much😆, with coil springs. 👍
what a beautiful machine!! must give so much joy driving it around in those beautiful areas
Thanks😀
Superb, superb, superb, it’s a Landy, there is no more a capable off-roader out there 👍🏻.
this is like Rivian truck :) good job amigos
I wish I still had my series 2a and the money I have now, an ev conversation on that would have been awesome, oh well hind sight.
It’s gripped!! It’s sorted!!
You’ve got to build a kit for the 79 series landcruiser and of course the earlier ones as well.
Amazing!
Awesome work I want one - love the old Landy body rattles over the sounds of the electric motor.
Hey! Hey! Hey! That had to be crazy fun!! That electric Land Rover is a monster!!
Rightly Baptisized in the mud. Ready for Photo's!
Stunning.
Not sure if a few made it across the pond, but I’ve got a 1963 International Harvester Scout that would be perfect for a swap. It’s original 91hp needs a proper boost.
you had me at sideburns
I am really really impressed. That Defender is so cool.
What a lovely car with unique character!
Ty man for sharing your experience.
Superb job and Uber quick as well. Cannot see this all rounder being beaten by anything 👍🏻
Thanks Graham 😀
Amazing car 😍
An ex army 110 puma or wolf would be a dream car with 300-400 miles per charge 😊😊👌👌
I want this SOOOO bad. Awesome video
I genuinely wish more companies (and car manufacturers for that matter) were pushing for electric conversions rather than buying new EV’s! We need to be cognisant of the harmful waste we will create as we essentially dispose of our old vehicles.
The slack in the steering is a nostalgic feature. People should experience the feeling of driving down a straight road and constantly radically needing to adjust the steering to stay in your lane. 😁🇳🇿
best part of driving mine
Time for a new steering box if you are doing that i've owned 4 in my life 2 ex mod series 3, a 90 and a 110. Only time ive had that issue was on the 110 when it needed a steering box.
@@peterjohnson2245 true all mine have been acuate as well
Lindsey would be proud!Nice work Baz!
HAHA, got field plants in the frame...awesome!
I love what you have done. You have just made off-road driving so easy. Love the simplicity of a Landy
Thanks😀
You guys built a full 1:1 model of my Traxxas Defender???? That's AWESOME!!!!!!
That was really enjoyable. I admire you for taking your prized possesion and letting it show what its capable of and whats it was built for.
Im sure the original fitters who assembled this may be long gone, but would be chuffed to see its reinvention as a modern EV.
If your a reader and like Land Rovers , Id recommend a book called 'Earth My Friend' by Peter Townsend (ex Battle Of Britain ace, was engaged to Princess Margaret, features in The Crown tv series) . He took off in a Land Rover and drove around the world solo in the 50s, amazing story of man and machine and remote regions of the world only a land rover could reach.
I like the job you are doing.I hope soon Converting 4x4s will be available for everyone.And street legal.
Man I love this rig
What an amazing rig. Great job. Looked like a lot of fun!
I love this vehicle
I want buy like this Tesla powered defender💕💕💕💕
Now that looked like fun! So surreal without the engine sound.
My dream is to convert my 101 FC to this...great stuff🙂
Just freaking amazing! Love seeing the Rover taking on the English countryside and winning! Great video, thanks for sharing.
Welsh countryside. 😉😁👍
@@ElectricClassicCars I stand corrected…
Wow!! Once again, another superlative video, and proof that electric is the way of the future... 😎
Jolly good. Thank You
Love it, not having to worry about gear selection and having instant torque off road is like having cheat codes on. Wish we could rent one of these or drive one at a Land Rover Experience centre, if you're looking to convert a more extreme off road Land Rover I'd give you mine to convert, assuming I get it back of course!
Just simply amazing...I love it!
I really really like it and I want one so much...!!!!! The best off-roading machine
That's great. Simply explain thank you.
Great to see the awesome capabilities of the EV Landy. I wish I was in Wales and could afford a conversion for my 710 Pinzgauer. Its an amazing off-roader. Keep the videos coming I'm a big fan of your work and your team.
Excellent video. I’d love to have that Landrover 👍🏻
oi! we need this in the colonies for our ramchargers, broncos and blazers! way larger market, perhaps shallower pockets
I love this little beast and it`s big brother Spector.
The quietest Landrover defender ever 😆
Superb off-roader! None better!
This is the best channel on TH-cam. You sir are so entertaining to watch. I want one of these.
Thanks. Glad you like the channel 👍😀
“Get out the way Baz, we’ll flatten you!”
Absolutely love it! Wish I could buy one.
Great looking LR...!
That is fantastic and i do love old land-rovers well done
Awesome electric Defender, Richard. Looks so fun to drive off-road. Man, we need more guys like you all over the world.
Agree 👍 💚🌍the future green and FUN
Brilliant, great driving capabilities, and it looks very cool as well. 👍
Great car and excellent presentation. Well done 👍
Thanks, glad you liked the video 😀
Wow this was awesome. Can you please help JLR electrify the New Defender? 🙂 It's shame they missed the boat on that. Your Defender videos so clearly demonstrate that a BEV is actually the superior option for off roading than ICE vehicles. No snorkel needed for wading, no dust filters for air intake, torque instantly available, no noise and soot spoiling the landscape, no fuzzing about with low and high range, dual shifters, etc. Keep up the good work!.
Hello Richard. That 944S2 in the opening shot is screaming for a conversion.
It’s already converted.

😀
MadMan acceleration 🙏😎👌
This is awesome!! That looks so much fun!!
it is always a big pleasure to see how new life can be breathed in into such classic vehicles with help of electric power train
Oh how I want one! No real use for something that capable but I would go and find some gnarly land to try it on.
The kid has smooth driving! 👍🏻👍🏻
Best landy in the world 🗺 🙏🏆💪
Superbe réalisation, nature préservée, bravo !
Great car!
I would love to have one of this!
WOW, REALLY GREAT
Can't believe how easy that looks to drive, nothing like an old petrol version
What do I think?
I love it!
Electric motor power just seems made for off-roading. And on-road too, of course.
It sure does 😊
Such an awesome machine! Can't wait till I get my 110 done (Tesla Model 3 power). Can't get much better off road suspension than coil sprung 4 link solid axles. No fossil can give you the torque delivery of an electric motor. Perfect combination!
@@alanmay7929 Sorry but I have to respectfully disagree. Toyota do make very good Deisel Engines, I think we can agree on that but which Hilux has more torque than Richard's Tesla LDU? Correct me if I am wrong but it's in the order of 636Nm. The Hilux 4litre V6 1GRFE only produces 376Nm. Also, the Tesla torque is produced from 0rpm to about 5000rpm before it starts to drop off. The Hilux torque starts at 0Nm @0rpm and eventually delivers it's 376Nm @3700rpm and then starts dropping off again. As I said NO fossil engine will give you the torque delivery of an electric motor. That's why EV's don't need a gearbox.
Good work
Would love my baby to have the same treatment so it is cost effective to run, brings it upto date with a new powertrain and I can get from A to B in the same day 😂😂😂
The old ex-army 110 deserves it.
Wow, I'm impressed, that was absolutely brilliant 😃 I love the old Landy, and with that conversion it's fookin fantastic 😊 I was a bit surprised about the water crossing, but I suppose everything has to be waterproof for normal driving on road anyway. I was also surprised by the augmented downhill braking as well, that was brilliant. By fitting that kit it made a great old fourby much, much better, improving its off-road capability. As I said, I'm very impressed ☺I'd hate to think of how much the conversion would cost though 🙄
Glad you liked it 😀
This is probably what we’ll have to do at some point to keep our classics on the road. I like the concept, but I’d still like to see better batteries and infrastructure to support electric cars. For now, my Series 2 will stay gasoline powered. I’ve managed to keep a 1960 almost 100% original, so it would pain me to do this to it. Maybe my old Range Rover would be a better candidate. Send me the kit and I’ll install it and let you know what I think😁
You may be one of the few people capable of turning me slightly EV .. I'd love to do something with this on my channel sometime if you were game for that. No idea what at this stage but I'll have a think lol. Great to see this retro EV in its natural environment!!
