▍原文

Oswald is a black 1953 Morris Minor. But he is as quiet as a mouse after having his fossil-fuel drinking heart replaced with a recycled electric motor.

Previously, the car's 68-year-old petrol engine would have masked most other sounds. 

But driving beside the Thames in London all you can hear are a few creaks, and the revving of motorbikes and other traffic passing by.
