Mercedes-Benz Metris Weekender unveiled

Mercedes-Benz has launched the Weekender, a pop-top camper van for the United States market. This officially-sanctioned conversion – which is based on the Metris – is carried out by Driverge Vehicle Innovations in collaboration with Peace Vans.

As well as an elevating roof, the standard specification includes rotating front seats, curtains and a dedicated leisure battery. Two people can sleep ‘upstairs’, while the sliding rear bench transforms into another double bed. However, the absence of any furniture units means that there are no built-in cooking, washing or storage facilities.

Anybody wanting more amenities will have to become familiar with the extensive options list. Among the available items are a pull-out rear kitchenette, a side-mounted awning, insect screens, solar panels, a tailgate tent and various roof racks.

Pricing has yet to be confirmed.

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.
