Škoda Tour de France limited editions

The first three stages of this year’s Tour de France will be run in England, so to commemorate the occasion Škoda has announced a trio of special editions for the UK.

Prices start at £23,490 for the Yeti TdF. It’s based on the existing 2.0 litre TDI 140PS 4x4 Outdoor SE variant and gains an internal bike rack, bike wheel bags, waterproof seat covers, keyless entry and start, satellite navigation, a DAB radio and a set of floor mats.

Next up is the Octavia Estate TdF, which uses the 2.0 litre TDI 150PS 4x4 SE as a starting point. The extra kit list is identical to the Yeti’s, except the bike carrier is roof-mounted and roof bars are fitted too. It costs £24,290.

Finally, the Superb Estate TdF is £28,490. Based on the 2.0 litre TDI 140PS 4x4 Outdoor, it has the same additional equipment as the Yeti TdF plus a boot net and space-saver spare wheel.

Production is being limited to 198 examples of each model, which coincidentally is the number of cyclists that are competing in the 2014 Tour de France. Buyers will have a choice of red, white or blue paintwork and all come with unique badges.

‘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.
