Abarth introduces the 500 Bi-Colore Edition

As the name suggests, Abarth's 500 Bi-Colore Edition sports a sophisticated-looking Scorpion Black and Record Grey two-tone paintjob.

A price of £15,990 means it costs £1,430 more than a regular 500 Custom. However, the Bi-Colore Edition is also equipped with leather upholstery, rear privacy glass and 17” ten-spoke wheels. Those three items, which are usually optional, account for most of the premium.

Acting as a further incentive is a £500 deposit contribution on a personal contract purchase finance scheme. The car must be registered before the end of March 2015 in order to qualify, though.

Mechanically everything remains unchanged, so power comes from the familiar 1.4 litre turbocharged petrol engine. Producing 133 bhp (99 kW / 135 PS), it's combined with a five-speed manual transmission.

The Abarth 500 Bi-Colore Edition is available to buy now. Just 50 examples are being produced for the UK market.

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.
