All parts falling off this car are the finest British craftsmanship
Really proud of these young people getting this experience in conversion. It is great seed to plant for their futures in making us a more sustainable species in so many ways. Cheers, and thank you Sam for this interview.
Thanks Sam.🙂 It's not so much about converting the car, but more about keeping an example of the model on the roads in excellent condition, both legally and with less damage to the environment. Upcycling, if you prefer. As he said, a rusting wreck can be returned to usability, safely, and that has to be better than making another vehicle.
That young lady at the end reacted very well to having a microphone suddenly thrust towards her by a stranger. My wife would have clammed up and refused to respond. Kudos to her.
A lot of these old relics are death traps. So much engineering work has been going on throughout the years to protect occupants that I'd never allow a teenager daughter or son to risk their lives for a cool look.
In fact, when I was a teenager and still taking busses, I witnessed an accident with a VW Kombi like that one in the background of the video, when the driver couldn't stop in time and hit the back of a bus that had suddenly stopped at the bus stop where I was.
Although it was a low-speed crash and the Kombi only got the front panel moved in about a foot, the lack of ABS, air bags, active restraint systems, and crumple zones led to a completely preventable death.
He had no external injuries, but his abdomen got crushed by the steering wheel and he bled internally for over 20 minutes, waiting for emergency services to show up and extricate him.
Today, as a mechanical engineer who worked in the automotive sector with new vehicles development, I recommend that you keep these cars off the road and in museums where they belong.
Excellently worded intelligent response to this subject. I love classics, I would not drive one though nor own a restomod or elktromod because of exactly what you mentioned. I'm hoping though in the near future? Ev platforms that are much more modular in design.
Will allow for interchangeable top hats kind of like old school coach builders once did. Where the chassis and powertrain is all sorted out already, and you ad the body&your own interior design or features to it. So you would have the best parts for power, battery, chassis tuning, braking&traction control all sorted. But you could build a nicer or more stylish interior and maintain a classic exterior.
Almost like pinninfarina did on rimacs c2 chassis with the Batista. Which is a stunning hyper ev vs the nevera which to me isn't stunning at all. But it's the exact same chassis, battery and powertrain used between them.
Or charge cars with their 67 mustang who built a modern ev platform up and put new classic sheet metal over it. 😎
When thinking of secure vehicles, I have driven more than 100,000 by motorcycle, most of the miles with a BMW K 1600 GT 2011.
In how many accidents are these 40 years and older cars involved in each year?
Who are engineering the cars in USA as they have so incredible high death rates compared to Sweden, and some other European countries per 100,000 people.
Sweden with 10.5 million people have 200-230 deaths per year!
@@leiflillandt1488 That VW Kombi I cited was not made in America and while Volvo and Saab led in the development of safe cars decades ago (and I had both last century), today Tesla is an example to follow. And motorcycles have a much higher death rate than cars. Better avoid.
How about we just don’t leave the house . That’s way more safer than driving any car .
If you actually saw any vintage car rallies you will see that the owners are very well aware of their limitations and drive accordingly .
@@dorianshadesofgray Even Jay Leno had an accident driving one of his rare antiques. Imagine an invincible and inexperienced teenager showing off to his friends. It's an easy danger to avoid and that was my point,
Such a cool project, I should have gone and looked at this one! Ps WAY better sound with this live video too! Also loving the interviews, keen for more 😁❤️
You have to talk with the electric classic cars guys at fully charged live UK when you go there
I often hear folk knocking the old 2 door V8 RR but my '78 vintage never broke down despite me treating it like a Racing Car bug the best vehicle I've ever owned for 90,000 miles was a 1986 ex MoD 90" Land Rover with the slow boring 2.5 natural aspirated diesel. I kid you not, it never ever broke down and gave me 32 mpg.
Follow the code is the answer...
Only use the best parts available fir Servicing and do it every 6000 miles!
Robert Llewelyn is starting his old programme up again which was called scrap heap challenge.
This is what is known as upcycling. Brilliant.
A brilliant waste of money
It’s called taking the soul out of a classic
Blows me away that someone in charge of a really cool EV conversion project in Australia has never heard of the Electric Viking!
The fact that he doesn't know who the vicking is, proves that he's not an idiot
@@robertfonovic3551 that logic makes no sense. Are you saying that now that he knows who the Viking is, he may be an idiot after all? Or are you implying that those who know of the Viking are in fact idiots, which would then make YOU one?
@@excelrobot Rob there, is what the kids call a “troll”. For those gen x and above, you’d know this type of fellow as an @#$hole. 😂 I wouldn’t pay them much mind.
@@GaiaTheorist82 thanks for Xplaining
@@excelrobot lol anytime
I will never ever buy Nissan now, because I'm afraid that all my purchase money went into some stupid ad instead of into the substance of a product. I'm sick of their damn ads!!
Awesome job girls and great to have some passionate guidance as well.
Awww man gimme that blue camper can in the background.
It sounds like your mic was actually on the camera rather than the hand held. Great project though.
SAM, you da mam...but can you edit this and add in some exterior body shots...pa-leese/tanks
I hope it becomes an industry. Millions of cars. Unfortunately, battery evolution is taking some time but hopefully, we will get a break through soon.
I had a 10year old Range Rover back in the 80's in middle east, even had the dreaded label "British Leyland" on it, even had a starting handle. However I must have been lucky as I ran it 3+ years on and off-road with zero issues. Regretfully had to sell it when I left the region. (I am guessing it was a mid-week vehicle, not a Monday or Friday assembly 🤨
Interesting project. Sadly the sound is terrible. The noise around you is better to hear, than your voices.
Although we love the new tech & new cars arriving on the market, we're not sure how green their manufacturing is (& even if countries run them on green electricity). The best solution to the former, is conversion from ICE to EV. Why aren't Nissan Leaf ZE0s getting upgraded battery tech? and why aren't we seeing regular cars (not just classic cars) getting converted? There should be startups (& colleges) everywhere all over this.
Awesome
Hey Sam, if your BMW is a nice car aside from the greasy gasoline engine, maybe you should convert it to battery-electric. I'd watch those videos.
Not one picture of the whole vehicle?
Nothing has changed about Rover reliability it just costs more to repair them and there are more parts to fail.
A market for electric Range Rover defenders
Pretty awesome!
So proud of these kids. I am part of a team building a 1964 Impala Lowrider with a group of High School kids in Sacramento, CA. We hope to see you at EVS36 in Sacramento. Google electric lowrider sacramento. Thanks Sam for all you’ve done to inspire people.
Thanks Mate!
Time for a new mic!😄
Yeh sound terrible. Generally Electric Viking sound isn't loud enough either. Makes it hard work watching this great channel.
Sam.......I don't know if u are aware of it but some of the first evs of the modern era.......1960-1970s.........were gas cars converted to electric. I remember early environmentalists bought corvair s........horrible gas cars.......featured in the classic book by Ralph Nader........unsafe at any speed......and put in an electric motor. Filled with heavy lead acid batteries the car did not have great performance.....!!!!!...?Also the predecessor of the Prius was a conversion of a gas car. Some auto magazine put the large electric motor that turns over jet engines in a small compact car. The motor had enough torque to work. Just a few wet battery's were in the car to poercthe motor.........too many battery's would have weighed down the car. A small two cycle motor would come on to charge the battery s..lkll!!!.....I hink the magazine may have gn car and driver.....I had a copy of the issue but lost it. American idea.......but Japanese product years later......pity...... barbuto@optonline.net...
Better a Toyota Landcruiser; glory days.
Tell me that combi is an EV!?!
Incidentally, all the folk ever praise is Japanese or Korean vehicles..never Australian stuff, why is that?
$200k?
200k plus the restoration cost
So 200k plus the restoration cost. Ballpark 300k then. That's taxpayers money well spent. NOT!!!! and if it were to be sold wouldn't fetch 50k.
Must be realy worried about your wife and money to fly back to australia. LOST ME
The future is bright!
