Škoda Mountiaq pick-up concept revealed

A team of thirty-five apprentices from Škoda’s Vocational School has built the Mountiaq, a one-off conversion based on the Kodiaq mid-size SUV.

The specially strengthened pick-up body features a two-seat cab, shortened doors and a cargo box that incorporates underfloor storage compartments. Redesigned bumpers, sill-mounted running boards and Sunset Orange paintwork further add to the unique look.

Rough-terrain ability should be decent enough, because the Mountiaq has 29 cm (11.4”) of ground clearance. It’s also fitted with a front-mounted winch, a bullbar, 17” Rockstar II five-spoke wheels, deep-tread off-road tyres and an air-intake snorkel.

Power comes from a 2.0 litre petrol engine that develops 187 bhp (140 kW / 190 PS). However, all of the modifications have resulted in a hefty kerb weight of 2,450 kg (5,401 lbs), so performance is unlikely to be impressive.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, there aren’t any plans for a production model at this stage.

‘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.
