Based on the existing Super Ténéré, the Worldcrosser version gets extra protection in the form of a drive-shaft shield, skid plate and rear brake protector, all of which are made from black anodised aluminium.

To help offset the weight of the new components, the fork protectors, frame guards and side panels are carbon fibre, while options for the graphics comprise either a black speedblock motif with yellow-gold accents or a red speedblock with red accents.

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.
