Description

A unique classic grand tourer combining timeless design with modern electric mobility.

Offered for sale is an exceptional 1965 GLAS 1700 GT Frua Coupe, professionally converted to electric drive by E-Works Mobility GmbH, Munich, Germany.

This unique vehicle combines the elegant styling of one of Germany's most beautiful 1960s grand touring coupes with reliable and well-engineered EV technology.
