Lagonda Taraf now offered in right-hand drive

Launched towards the end of last year, the Lagonda Taraf was originally intended only for Middle Eastern markets. That's no longer the case, because Aston Martin has just announced a significant strategy change.

Its performance saloon will now be available in other territories and – more importantly – a right-hand drive version is being built.

As a result, customers in Hong Kong, India, Malaysia, Singapore, South Africa and the UK can order a Lagonda Taraf with the steering wheel on the 'correct' side. It's also going to be sold in Norway, Russia, Ukraine and most European Union member states.

There is one major caveat, though: production of the V12-powered Lagonda remains limited to 200 examples.

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.
