More options for the Seat Leon Cupra 280

Seat has announced the arrival of some performance-orientated options for its Leon Cupra 280.

The first is the £2,025 Sub8 Performance Pack, a name that signifies that a Leon Cupra 280 was the first front-wheel drive car to set a lap time of less than eight minutes around the Nürburgring Nordschleife. Included are larger brake discs with four-piston Brembo calipers, body-colour side skirts and unique 19” alloy wheels that come in either black or a fetching orange shade.

For an extra £460, Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres can be specified. Because they’re semi-slicks, Seat reckons track day enthusiasts will be particularly tempted by them. That same audience might appreciate a set of more supportive Cupra bucket seats. Replacing the standard front seats, they feature integrated head restraints, built-in heating and Alcantara upholstery. The cost is £1,250.

Finally there are the £500 Black-Line and White-Line exterior colour packs. These give either a black or white finish to the door mirror caps, front grille surround, ‘Cupra’ tailgate lettering and wheels.

‘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.
