I believe Jaguar will convert an E-type for you (completely reversible) if you happen to own an original. It's only a pipe dream for me, but it's nice to know that as we stop using ICE we don't have to throw away all the beautiful cars whose charm is just as much in their looks as in their performance.

Yes, these are allegedly in some level of production(ish) as the E-type zero [1]. They are absolutely beautiful and the interior looks like the starship enterprise crossed with a bond car. I hope that this becomes an option with more classic cars as electric becomes the preferred propulsion for fun cars.

Aston Martin has an electric conversion program as well:
