Off-grid campers would like the Nissan x Opus

Nissan is currently busy finding applications for the Roam, a new 1 kW portable power unit that recycles batteries from the Leaf electric car. Following last month’s NV300 workshop van project, a collaboration with Suffolk-based Opus Camper has now resulted in a trailer tent concept.

The aptly-named Nissan x Opus is based on the existing Air Opus. Thanks to an on-board compressor and air-filled beams, the structure unfolds in just ninety seconds. The interior accommodates two fixed double beds, a seating area (which converts into two additional berths) and a kitchenette. Four more people could sleep in an bespoke awning if required.

An inconspicuous front-mounted locker is used to store the Roam. Once fully charged via a regular domestic socket (in around one hour), its 700 Wh output supplies the trailer’s 230 V circuit and 12 V leisure battery. With an optional 400 W solar panel providing top-ups, off-grid camping for up to seven days is possible.

Nissan Energy will begin selling the Roam in Europe later this year, but pricing hasn’t been revealed yet.

‘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.
