At GKR Motor Cars, we’ve always had a deep appreciation for classic cars: their design, their presence, and the way they make you feel behind the wheel. But let’s be honest, owning and driving them in today’s world can come with trade offs.
That’s why we’re excited to announce a new partnership with eDub Services Ltd. – a company that’s been quietly leading the way in electric classic car conversions since 2013.
What Is an Electric Classic Car Conversion?
If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to keep the look of a vintage car but ditch the maintenance headaches, this is it.
An electric classic car conversion replaces the internal combustion engine with a fully electric drivetrain, giving you:
- Instant torque
- Smooth, quiet driving
- Far fewer mechanical issues
- Modern charging capability
And when it’s done right, it doesn’t take away from the soul of the car, it enhances it.
Why eDub?
eDub isn’t new to this space, they’ve been refining their systems for over a decade. Their approach is simple: respect the car, upgrade the experience.
They specialize in bolt in electric conversion kits, meaning the systems are designed specifically for the car.
Popular platforms include:
- VW Campers (one of the most sought after electric conversions today)
- Porsche 911 models
- Morris Minor
What Does It Feel Like to Drive?
This is where things get interesting.
Many eDub builds use their eDub Drive Unit, producing up to 285 Nm of torque from 0 RPM. In real terms, that means:
- No waiting for power
- No shifting gears
- Just smooth, immediate acceleration
It’s still your classic car – just easier, quicker, and far more enjoyable to actually drive.
Built for the Real World
One of the biggest questions we get is: “Can you actually use it like a normal car?”
Short answer: yes.
With high-voltage systems and up to 70kW CCS fast charging, these aren’t novelty builds, they’re practical, usable classics that fit into modern life.
Why We’re Bringing This to GKR Clients
We’re not here to replace traditional classics, we love them as much as you do. But we also recognize that not every client wants to deal with carburetors, cold starts, or constant upkeep.
This partnership gives you another option:
- Keep the classic look
- Gain modern reliability
- Actually enjoy driving it more often
