Chevrolet Centennial trucks mark 100 years

In 1918, Chevrolet began selling trucks to the public. That event's upcoming centenary deserves celebrating, so a couple of special Centennial Edition pick-ups have been launched to help commemorate the anniversary.

The 2018 Colorado Centennial Edition, which uses the Z71 trim grade as a starting point, is being offered in Crew Cab and Extended Cab guises. Additional features include 18” wheels, extra chrome embellishments and a body-colour finish for the front grille surround and rear bumper.

Alternatively, the 2018 Silverado Centennial Edition is based on the existing LTZ Z71 Crew Cab variant. It boasts 22” painted wheels with chrome inserts, all-terrain tyres and chrome tow hooks.

Furthermore, the Colorado and Silverado versions both gain Centennial Blue paintwork, a spray-in bedliner, cab-floor liners, '100' badges and unique heritage Chevrolet bowtie emblems.

Deliveries of the former begin in November 2017, while the latter is due to arrive at dealers a month earlier.

‘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.
