After one of our most talked-about episodes, Daniel Ashville returns to Talkin’ Shop to share what’s really happened since—and how he’s rebuilding from the ground up. In this follow-up, we go beyond the highs to unpack the reality behind Ashville’s journey. From tough lessons and hard resets to a bold new chapter in St. Lucia, Daniel opens up about the decisions that changed everything, both in business and personally.

This isn’t just an update. It’s a raw look at what it takes to come back stronger: letting go of what no longer works, refocusing on what matters, and rebuilding with clarity, control, and purpose.

We explore the mindset shift behind Ashville’s comeback, why stepping away became necessary, and the risks and vision driving the new St. Lucia project. It’s an honest reflection on success, failure, and the lessons that only come with experience. If you watched the first episode, this is the next chapter you’ve been waiting for. And if you’re navigating your own challenges in business, this one will hit home.

In this episode of the Talkin’ Shop Podcast, we sit down with Richard “Moggy” Morgan — founder of Electric Classic Cars and one of the pioneers of EV conversions in the UK. From rallying and modifying classics to building a global brand, Moggy shares how one garage experiment turned into a business that’s converted over 100 classic cars.
Moggy explains why he’s “fuel agnostic,” why reliability is the real selling point for many owners, and how converting classics can make them more usable without losing their character. There’s honest talk about value, identity, and whether removing an engine removes a soul — plus dream builds (including a Lamborghini Countach), Tesla-powered Testarossas, manual EV conversions, and what it takes to build cars that are better than when they left the factory.
From launching a Discovery Channel series to shipping kits worldwide, this episode is packed with bold opinions, proper engineering insight, and a fresh perspective on what the future of classic cars might look like. If you’re into big builds and the debate between petrol and electric, this one is an eye-opening listen.
