Meet the flippers - Ken

Click here to view Meet Ken Macken, a car enthusiast, engineer, mechanic, award-winning inventor, and a ‘flipper’ based in Noosa who electrifies classic cars from the past for a greener future.

Converting classic cars to electric vehicles is a passion project booming in popularity. EVs are a trending subject area with 320% YoY* growth for the search term “convert petrol car to electric”. This is likely due to increasing global sustainability efforts and the demand for electric vehicles with lower emissions than conventional vehicles.

In this episode of Meet the Flippers, Ken shows us his 1979 40 Series LandCruiser, which he bought on Gumtree.

Ken also sourced a lot of the parts from Gumtree, and the parts he didn’t need he sold on there, too. All of his conversions he’ll be selling on Gumtree.
