"THE BEAST" – ELECTRIC LAND ROVER DEFENDER 130
Auction starting at 1€
A legend has woken up. And it's electric.
A 2011 Land Rover Defender 130, fully converted to electric power by Vintage Volts (Sweden) in partnership with Electric Classic Cars (ECC, Wales) — two of Europe's most respected names in classic-to-electric conversions. This is not a rendering. It's not a concept. It drives. It charges. And the bidding starts at one euro.
Behind it sit hundreds of hours of engineering, a Tesla-derived powertrain and a 200 kWh battery pack. After the conversion, we drove this Defender from Mid Wales to Sweden and down to Barcelona — over 6,000 km on public CCS fast chargers. Not just a showpiece, but a genuinely capable long-distance machine.
AN ELECTRIC heart inside a legendary British body
De originele dieselmotor is verdwenen. In plaats daarvan: een krachtige elektromotor, een van de grootste accupakketten ooit gemonteerd in een Defender, en een aandrijflijn die is teruggebracht tot de essentie. Geen versnellingsbak. Geen koppeling. Gewoon direct koppel naar alle vier de wielen.

Built by specialists. Driven by Stark.
A one-of-a-kind electric conversion built by specialists, owned and operated by Stark Future — the company behind the Stark VARG. Like any bespoke EV conversion, this is a handbuilt machine with handbuilt character — built on a legendary platform, to be approached with the curiosity a build like this deserves.
