Vauxhall Corsa Griffin limited edition launched

To celebrate the Corsa’s twenty-fifth anniversary, Vauxhall has devised a special version of the hatchback. The Griffin – which is available in three- and five-door guises – gets its name from the mythical creature that appears on the brand’s emblem.

Regardless of the main bodywork colour chosen, the roof, door mirror caps and front grille bar all have a black finish. Rear privacy glass, gloss black 16” alloy wheels and some unique badges complete the exterior look.

As well as a couple of Griffin-themed floor mats, the interior boasts plenty of equipment. Standard items include automatic lights and wipers, satellite navigation, heated front seats and a heated leather-trimmed steering wheel.

Every Corsa Griffin is powered by a 1.4 litre petrol engine that can be specified with either 74 bhp (55 kW / 75 PS) or 88 bhp (66 kW / 90 PS).

Planned production volume hasn’t been disclosed, but dealers are accepting orders now. Prices start at £11,695.

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.
