David Beckham presented his son Brooklyn an all-electric 1954 Jaguar XK140 as a wedding gift. The all-electric Jaguar XK140 is the result of the conversion of Lunaz, which is 10 percent owned by David Beckham.
Lunaz is an EV conversion company based in Silverstone UK. Lunaz said that the all-electric Jaguar XK140 conversion project involved thousands of hours of work by a strong team of 120 craftsmen, designers and electric vehicle technicians.
The all-electric Jaguar XK140 features a light blue paint finish with the cabin covered in light beige upholstery. Lunaz said the electric technology in the car was carefully hidden in order to maintain the classic feel of the converted vehicle.
