2016 Fiat Aegea first view

Turkey continues to play an important role in Fiat’s manufacturing operations, thanks mainly to the country’s comparatively low labour costs. Illustrating that situation is the all-new Aegea, which was partly developed there and will be built at the Bursa plant.

It’s also no coincidence that the Istanbul Motor Show is the chosen venue for the car’s first public appearance.

Measuring 4.50 metres (14’ 9”) long, the Aegea is a very traditional three-box compact saloon that can accommodate five people.

The styling, while neat and inoffensive, isn’t especially exciting. Indeed, the only really distinguishing features are the heavily-sculptured bonnet and a recessed centre section for the roof panel.

Two petrol and two diesel engines are going to be available, together with a choice of manual or automatic transmissions. Power outputs are said to range between 93 bhp (70 kW / 95 PS) and 118 bhp (88 kW / 120 PS). All pretty much as expected, in other words.

Sales of the Aegea begin in Turkey this November. Launches will then follow in over forty markets across Europe, Africa and the Middle East. Fiat isn’t likely to offer it in the UK, however.

‘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.
