Richard Morgan (Electric Classic Cars): Why Petrol Is Over | EP53
Episode 53
Wednesday, 25 March, 2026
In this episode of the Talkin’ Shop Podcast, we sit down with Richard “Moggy” Morgan — founder of Electric Classic Cars and one of the pioneers of EV conversions in the UK. From rallying and modifying classics to building a global brand, Moggy shares how one garage experiment turned into a business that’s converted over 100 classic cars.Moggy explains why he’s “fuel agnostic,” why reliability is the real selling point for many owners, and how converting classics can make them more usable without losing their character. There’s honest talk about value, identity, and whether removing an engine removes a soul — plus dream builds (including a Lamborghini Countach), Tesla-powered Testarossas, manual EV conversions, and what it takes to build cars that are better than when they left the factory.From launching a Discovery Channel series to shipping kits worldwide, this episode is packed with bold opinions, proper engineering insight, and a fresh perspective on what the future of classic cars might look like. If you’re into big builds and the debate between petrol and electric, this one is an eye-opening listen.--Brought to you by Eclipse Diagnostics.
