£385 Honda CG110 launched

A proper Honda motorcycle for £385 or €455 sounds like a real bargain. The bike in question is the new CG110, but there are a couple of catches.

Firstly, availability is currently restricted to Nigeria, which is where Honda builds the thing. A price tag there of around 100,000 naira should help achieve an annual sales forecast of 40,000 units. Don’t expect the CG110 to be exported to Europe, though.

Secondly, it’s a very basic machine. Although technical details haven’t been released, the specification appears to include an air-cooled engine, a kick-starter, simple suspension, drum brakes and dated styling. However none of that matters, because the point of the CG110 is to provide its target audience with affordable, reliable mobility.

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.
