TVS Phoenix 125 launched

Indian manufacturer TVS has unveiled its new Phoenix 125. Described by the firm as being a ‘premium executive deluxe’ motorcycle, the target market is those riders who want to upgrade from their regular commuter bikes.

Indeed, it comes as standard with several features that usually would only be found on larger capacity machines. These include a digital fuel gauge, hazard lights, a low battery reminder, a digital speedometer and a service reminder function. Alloy wheels, a front disc brake and adjustable suspension also form part of the specification.

Powering the Phoenix 125 is a new electric-start, air-cooled EcoThrust engine that produces 10.5 bhp (7.8 kW / 10.6 PS). Connected to a four-speed gearbox, TVS reckons that it should give best-in-class highway fuel economy of 189.2 mpg (1.5 l/100km / 67.0 km/l).

The price of the latest TVS is Rs. 53,000 (ex-showroom in Delhi), and buyers will have a choice of Alaskan Green, Oxford Grey, Belgian Black Red, Moroccan Red or Helsinki Black Silver dual-tone colour schemes.

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.
