BMW Motorrad exhibits the Concept Lac Rose

For this year's Wheels and Waves Festival – which is currently taking place near Biarritz in France – BMW has created a one-off custom bike.

Named Concept Lac Rose after a stage of the Paris-Dakar Rally, its look is inspired by the BMW that won the event in 1985.

Based on an R nineT, numerous off-road features are fitted. These include a high front mudguard, long-travel suspension, knobbly tyres, an oil cooler protector and a bash plate beneath the twin-cylinder boxer engine.

A large-capacity fuel tank and bespoke valve covers are also part of the specification. A tall (but narrow) windshield, hand guards and a thickly-padded single seat complete the transformation.

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.
