It’s time to give a tour around one of our Mercedes R107 electric conversions. This time it’s a 1974 Mercedes 350SL that we converted to electric back in 2019 and is about to go off to it’s new owner in Jersey.
Unfortunately the weather was atrocious the day of filming so we couldn’t take it out for a spin, but we’ve included some footage at the end of another electric Mercedes R107 we filmed last year in the sunshine.

It has an air cooled dual HPEVS AC34 motor which has the same torque as the original V8 and feels very similar to drive from that perspective, coupled to a Mazda MX5 gearbox. The Tesla 53 kWh battery pack should be good for about 150 mile range.
Hopefully the owner will get more sunny days in Jersey than we have in Wales to enjoy that wind in your hair smooth electric motoring that this car is so perfect for.
