2012 Harley Seventy-Two

Harley-Davidson has revealed the 1970s-inspired XL1200V Sportster Seventy-Two.

Defined by its stripped-down look, ape handlebars, whitewall tyres and chrome details, the new bike takes its name from Whittier Boulevard in East Los Angeles, which is also known as Route 72.

Power comes from the air-cooled 1,202 cc (73.3 cubic inch) Evolution engine that delivers its 96 Nm (73 lb/ft) of torque via a five-speed transmission.

With Black Denim or Big Blue Pearl paintwork, the Seventy-Two costs £8,695 in the UK ($10,499 in the United States). However, for a really authentic retro look, buyers should go for the Hard Candy Big Red Flake colour option that takes the price up to £8,895 ($11,199).

‘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.
