Peugeot launches the 208 Black Edition

Given it’s available with a choice of Nera Black, Hurricane Grey or Bianca White paintwork, the new 208 Black Edition is somewhat misnamed.

However, Peugeot could argue that the grille, front fog light surrounds, door mirror caps and 16” ‘Titane’ alloy wheels all have a gloss black finish. In fairness, plenty of manufacturers would deem such minor changes reason enough to recycle the over-used ‘Black Edition’ moniker.

Cruise control, a DAB radio and a 7” colour touchscreen are also part of the car’s enhanced specification. Connectivity shouldn’t be a problem, as the infotainment system supports Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, MirrorLink and Bluetooth.

The 208 Black Edition is being offered in three-door form only. Power comes from an 80 bhp (60 kW / 82 PS) 1.2 litre PureTech petrol engine, which is mated to a five-speed manual gearbox.

Prices in the UK start at £14,595.

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.
