Jason Momoa's 1929 Rolls-Royce converted to electric by Kidlington company

A company that specializes in converting classic cars into electric vehicles has completed a project for Hollywood star Jason Momoa.

Electrogenic, based in Kidlington, has transformed the actor's Rolls-Royce Phantom II into a fully electric car.

The 1929 Phantom II, originally powered by 7.7-litre straight-six engine, now has a "whisper-quiet" electric powertrain.

Jason Momoa said Electrogenic was the "perfect fit" to carry out the project.

The Aquaman star, who has also featured in Game of Thrones, said: "In order to pull off this dream project, I had to find the right partner.

"I needed a team that would appreciate the storied history of this car while updating its technology."

He praised Electrogenic for "honouring vintage cars", by making them electric "without losing any of the vehicle's character".

The cars original petrol engine and gearbox were removed and replaced by batteries, which have been "precision-integrated" into the existing structure of the car.

Steve Drummond, the director of Electrogenic, said the car had been a "labour of love for everyone" at the company.

He added that it had been "a lot of fun" working with Momoa over the course of 18 months to "bring his vision to life".

As well as being converted to a fully electric vehicle, the Rolls-Royce also now features a multi-speaker HiFi system with full Bluetooth connectivity.

Mr Drummond said the company was "immensely proud" of the finished car, and "humbled that Jason entrusted us with this landmark project".

The conversion of the car will feature in Jason Momoa's new Discovery+ series, On The Roam, which Mr Drummond described as "the icing on the cake".
