Lunaz are the company at the forefront of designing classic electric cars

Designing and building some of the world's most gorgeous automobiles including, Jaguar XK120, xk140 AND xk150s, Bentley Continental S1, S2 AND S3. Classic Range Rover and Rolls Royce Phantoms.

They are in the business of the restoration, re-engineering and electrification of some of the most celebrated cars in motoring history, it's a labour of love built out of a love of classic cars and the team are a fusion of world-class engineers and master craftspeople who together create and produce classic cars with sustainability and useability.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The three questions around classic cars are usability, reliability and future sustainability.
• A fantastic team has been brought together to restore and build cars of the most extraordinary quality with electric conversion as part of the process.
• Luna is in the business of world-class level restoration which requires traditional skills being implemented by those who are masters of their craft.
• It's a place where technology and artisan skills meet
• At the beginning of every year, we release a certain tranche for production that will be available to order for the following year.
• We are creating an upcycled product so we want to go through the restoration process as sensitively as possible but quality is paramount so we do replace where necessary
• The re-engineering process is about subtly integrating things such as air conditioning to ensure sustainability
• These vehicles have the beauty of a classic car that can be driven every day.
• The key is maintaining the authenticity and the spirit of the original vehicle.
• The world requires a cleaner future and governments are legislating hard for this.
• At the moment electric cars are the future and the infrastructure is increasing dramatically.
• We engineered for augmented sound for the cars but after people drive them they find the lack of noise is what they want.
