Where electric conversions probably make more sense is something cool that's not going to fall into classic car exemptions - like a convertible E30.
'classics' owned by the rich
Obviously you're unlikely to be on the breadline with a classic car (or any car for that matter), but I think there are plenty of inexpensive enthusiast classics you could own and maintain for under £10k. Also I think leasing an electric Zafira is going to be a lot more achievable than repairing and converting some random car.
