Back in 1970, I had a 1960 model Beetle and when I moved up to a newer model, I converted the older car to electric. My father-in-law was an electric motor re-winder and builder, so he built a motor for it, and I put truck batteries in place of the back seat. I kept the original gearbox so I could select speed better. There was no sophistication to the car like the one in this video though, basically it was still an old Beetle.

You guys are a riot together. Love it. Nice stuff you built, WOW

I love L bugs, 74 was a great year, the 1916 I had with my twin 44 webbers really was fun, I would love to drive this. Great video brought back many good memories

MOGG RULES! Wicked good episode, absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Loved all the info, Mogg made it very understandable, easily digestible, and damn funny to boot. Cheers to the most understated and badass Beetle on the Welsh roads, may jaws continue to drop forevermore!

Sleeping monster. Love it. Decades ago I had a 70 camper bus with a motocross engine. One day on the main one way street in town I noticed a Porsche weaving through traffic coming up behind me. At a traffic light he was just in front of me. Light changed and he took off. But I was glued to his back bumper, up to the speed limit. The image in his rear view mirror was my spare tire on the front of my bus. I always joked that his next stop should be to the dealer to turn it in.

Never been a beetle fan but this is awesome, I was glued to the screen watching this. 👍❤️🇬🇧

I just love it..... And your friend, the way how he talks about his car. OMG. Supercars and hypercars owners could Lear a thing or two from him.

As a child in the 1960s our pastor had a Beetle, always filled with people and responsibly driven. In my late teens a newly licenced friend allowed me to drive his 1200 Beetle. Such fun through round-a-bouts and corners but we weren't friends again after my drive finished. I didn't speed either! Can only imagine the fun this would allow for here on empty Tasmanian roads.

What a project! Wow! I am higly impressed. I am myself a certified car engineer and in our young days we built 911 engines into the beetle an put them on the race tracks. But this here is MUCH better! I am myself driving a Model S for 7 years now.

My Golf R may as well be a power wheels car compared to that. I don’t say this flippantly...I believe this is the most beautiful and most amazing beetle restomod I have seen to date.
