Volkswagen Transporter Sportline 60

Sixty years ago the first official sales of the Transporter van began in the UK. To celebrate that anniversary, Volkswagen has introduced the Sportline 60 special edition.

Replacing the existing Sportline variant, it’s identified by a set of 18” anthracite-coloured five-spoke alloy wheels, a rear roof spoiler, some bodyside decals and a pair of steel sill bars.

Completing the look are special badges, a chrome grille, gloss black door mirror caps and a choice of black or silver metallic paintwork. If that’s not distinctive enough, white with a contrasting black roof is an optional colour scheme.

Also included in the specification are front and rear parking sensors, a rear reversing camera, unique embossed leather upholstery and a Kenwood infotainment system that incorporates satellite navigation and Bluetooth connectivity.

Power comes from a 2.0 litre turbo diesel engine. Developing 177 bhp (132 kW / 180 PS), it can be combined with either a six-speed manual gearbox or a seven-speed DSG dual-clutch transmission.

The Transporter Sportline 60 is being offered in panel van and kombi guises, with both available in short- or long-wheelbase form. Prices range from £29,940 to £34,170 (excluding VAT).

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.
