This is our newest adventure. This beauty is soon going electric. Find out everything about it here!
Mercedes-Benz 190 SL | 1962
When we found this car, it was a wreck. We took it apart. We completely fixed the bodywork and repainted it. And we decided to turn it into an EV. Why on earth would we do that? We believe that by doing so, we can combine the charm and beauty of this car with the qualities and convenience of a contemporary car. The benefits of a classic EV are threefold.
First of all, an Electric Vehicle cuts down maintenance costs drastically: there’s no more fluids, no more filters, and because there’s a lot less friction than in a car with a combustion engine, pieces will take much longer to wear out.
Secondly, an electric car provides you with so much driving pleasure. Acceleration is immediate, effortless and smooth: the torque is being transmitted immediately to the wheels and provides you with breathtaking accelerations. And if you add the running silence to the mix, driving this electric Mercedes 190 SL will be the ultimate ZEN-experience. This car will only become more pleasant to drive, and easier to handle.
Lastly, the focus on emission-free driving will become increasingly bigger, and we believe that many old-timer enthusiasts will happily transform their car in order to be able to continue driving it everywhere they want, even in low-emission city centers.

Chicane eClassics
We love Classic Cars. You know we do! We love to drive them as well. We love to take them to work on a sunny day or use them to bring the children to school when we feel like. And preferably, for many years to come.
Chicane eClassics can help you make your car future-proof. We can electrify your classic car or young-timer and turn it into a zero-emission vehicle, allowing you to take it wherever you want, whenever you want. We can keep the looks of your car, or we can tweak the interior and the dashboard and add a few tech features.
Moreover, we guarantee that this process is fully reversable should you wish to turn your car into an ICE-vehicle again.
