Honda PCX125 upgraded

Honda’s best selling PCX125 scooter is set to become even more economical thanks to the use of the latest enhanced Smart Power (eSP) engine technology.

To go with the innovative Idle Stop system of the existing model, the improved single-cylinder, four-stroke engine gets a new chemical treatment for the cylinder, tweaks to the combustion chamber and a revised cooling system.

As a result, average fuel economy increases from 130.1 mpg (2.17 l/100km) to 134.5 mpg (2.10 l/100km).

The 2012 Honda PCX125 with eSP goes on sale in the UK this summer. A price has yet to be confirmed, but it’s not expected to change much from the current version’s £2,550.

Honda has also announced the larger capacity PCX150, which will be offered in some European markets and North America. The chances of it joining the UK range appear slim, though.

There’s something very retro-chic about using a classic car as a daily driver, but it’s an activity that comes with the permanent risk that aged mechanicals might expire at any time. Hence the concept of regeneration by substituting ancient components with fresh replacements. Handling, brakes and reliability are all dramatically improved, while the outward appearance remains unmolested. Various models have received this treatment in recent years, including numerous Jaguars and even the Shelby G.T.500CR . Now it’s the turn of the Jensen Interceptor, a car originally built during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Jensen International Automotive , based in Thame, Oxfordshire, has just delivered the first of its Interceptor R models. And, with an annual production figure of 18 cars, it’s a product that will be very exclusive. In a process lasting around five months, each Interceptor R is totally rebuilt from a suitable donor car.
