Škoda Yeti Laurin & Klement

Škoda has begun UK sales of its Yeti Laurin & Klement. Based on the existing Elegance variant, the newcomer adds plenty of extra equipment for a £2,000 price premium.

That name honours Václav Laurin and Václav Klement, the founders of the company that eventually became Škoda Auto. It has traditionally been applied to high-end Škoda models, a custom that the Yeti version continues.

The interior specification includes black leather upholstery with silver stitching, piano black trim, a panoramic sunroof, a heated windscreen, satellite navigation, a DAB radio, special floor mats and parking sensors.

On the outside, the Laurin & Klement is identified by its 17” polished alloy wheels, chrome-trimmed side protection mouldings, unique door sill scuff plates and a set of silver roof rails.

As befits its range-topping status, the Yeti Laurin & Klement is only available with all-wheel drive. Buyers have a choice of one petrol and two diesel engines, with prices starting from £24,835:

‘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.
