60-year-old Bentley Continental runs like new on battery power

Lunaz has brought us quite a few quality restorations of luxury car classics, and its latest project – a 1961 Bentley Continental Flying Spur – stays true to the winning formula.

Produced by HJ Mulliner over half a century ago, the four-door Brit received a complete overhaul, body and cabin. In addition to an electric motor, it takes advantage of regenerative braking, cruise control and torque control systems. Once charged to the max, an 80-kWh battery gives it around 400 kilometers (250 miles) of driving range.

As one may expect in a project like this, the asking price is a none-too-shabby £350,000.
