The Tristar, which has been unveiled at the IAA show in Hanover, features a two-seat interior that incorporates a 20” ‘tablet table’ as well as videoconferencing facilities. A large waterproof drawer housed below the main deck makes for similarly unusual cargo-carrying arrangements.

Now it’s the turn of the Jensen Interceptor, a car originally built during the late 1960s and early 1970s.
