Bridge of Weir Leather, expert supplier of Fine Automotive Leather to the world’s most respected luxury car brands, is delighted to host the first public debut of a new electric version of the legendary Land Rover Series IIA at this weekend’s 2021 Concours of Elegance.

Fully restored and updated with a state-of-the-art electric powertrain, the new zero emission classic vehicle comes from leading EV technology company Everrati, and will be on display at Bridge of Weir’s members’ enclosure at Hampton Court Palace from 3-5 September.
