MiTo and Giulietta Sportiva

Alfa Romeo has expanded its MiTo supermini and Giulietta compact ranges with the addition of a new Sportiva trim grade.

For the MiTo Sportiva, which is based on the existing Distinctive version, the cabin gains black Alcantara upholstery with contrast green stitching, a darkened headlining and a leather-covered steering wheel with matte black inserts.

Also included in the specification are 18” Quadrifoglio Verde alloy wheels, special kick plates for the doors and some Sportiva badges.

All told, Alfa Romeo reckons the extra equipment adds up to £1,500, although the price premium compared to the Distinctive models is only half that amount. Consequently, on-the-road prices start at £16,100 for the 0.9 litre TwinAir-powered model.

The Giulietta Sportiva uses the current Voloce variant as its basis. It’s distinguished by dark titanium 18” alloys, kick plates and red Brembo brake calipers, while the interior features leather upholstery.

Available with a choice of six engines, the lead-in 1.6 JTDM-2 diesel version costs £23,110.

Both Sportiva models can be ordered from Alfa Romeo dealers now.

‘New’ Jensen Interceptor

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.
