2016 BMW C 650 GT and C 650 Sport revealed

Almost four years after they were first launched, BMW has updated its C 650 GT and C 650 Sport maxi scooters.

Redesigned bodywork for the Sport version is the most noticeable change. The GT hasn't been completely forgotten though, as its side panels and rear light unit have been subtly altered.

As before, power for both models comes from a 647 cc twin-cylinder engine that produces 59 bhp (44 kW / 60 PS). However, modifications include a new exhaust silencer, revised mapping and a more responsive continuously-variable transmission set-up.

Traction should be much improved, as automatic stability control now joins anti-lock brakes on the standard equipment list. Furthermore, better ride comfort is promised by recalibrated dampers.

UK availability and pricing have yet to be confirmed.

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.
