Fiat 500 Street unveiled

Following the launch of the Colour Therapy a couple of weeks ago, Fiat has revealed the latest model in its revised 500 city car line-up.

Called the 500 Street, it’s being pitched as offering sporty looks without the additional running costs of a high-performance engine.

The specification is pretty generous, too, with 16” alloy wheels, a rear spoiler, dark tint windows and a satin chrome finish for the exterior trim pieces setting it apart from other 500 versions.

Moving into the cabin, the standard equipment list includes sports seats, air conditioning, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and Bluetooth connectivity.

In the UK, prices for the 500 Street are identical to the existing Lounge variants, and depend on engine choice.

Go for the 1.2 litre petrol model and the cost is £11,360, while the 0.9 litre TwinAir petrol is more expensive at £12,760. The 1.3 litre MultiJet diesel engine is also available, but it raises the price even further to £13,760.

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.
