Celebrity David Beckham is investing in Lunaz, a UK based electric car conversion company, which will see some classics remain road legal as climate activists gradually erase petrol and diesel cars from the roads.
Lunaz have a simple idea; replace petrol engines with electric motors and batteries which means wealthy classic car owners will still be able to partake of classic events, London-Brighton runs, Concours shows etc. Beckham can see the money-making potential as many classic cars may also require braking, suspension and chassis mods to to a battery pack power unit.
“Lunaz represents the very best of British ingenuity in both technology and design. I was drawn to the company through their work restoring some of the most beautiful classic cars through upcycling and electrification. David Lorenz and his team of world-class engineers are building something very special and I look forward to being part of their growth.”
