I found this a fascinating watch on Vintage Voltage on Quest TV station tonight.


A guy in Malvern had his very tired DeLorean completely refurbished and also had it converted to electric using a Tesla power unit.

As I've mentioned on here previously I've contemplated buying a MK1 Ford Capri but the thought of driving a 50 year old car from an engine and handling perspective has held me back.

It's the actual look of my old Ford Capri that I so loved, I'm not a petrolhead or a purist so I'm going to pursue this same route as the guy did with his DeLorean.

Before I watched this show I'd found a lovely MK1 earlier today quite local to me and I'm viewing it on Tuesday.

I've already contacted these guys at Vintage Voltage to see if they can do the conversion for me.

I know the owners club purists will think it the work of the Devil himself but I really don't care, the thought of having that car with 2022 drivability I find an exciting prospect.

Take a look at the bit of YouTube below on the DeLorean conversion.
