Ford creates the Bronco Overland concept

Attendees at this year’s Bronco Super Celebration East event (which is currently taking place in Townsend, Tennessee) will get to see a special one-off 2021 Bronco 4-Door. Named the Overland concept, it has been designed by Ford to showcase how the all-new SUV can be personalised.

The starting point is a Bronco Badlands with the Area 51 colour scheme. Upgrades include Fifteen52 Turbomatic 17” heavy-duty wheels, BFGoodrich LT315/70R-17 35” mud tyres, and a Ford Performance modular steel front bumper that incorporates a Warn winch.

Also fitted are Bilstein position-sensitive dampers, as part of the H.O.S.S. (High-Performance Off-road Stability Suspension) package. The powertrain comprises an entry-level 2.3 litre EcoBoost four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine plus a seven-speed manual transmission.

Overnight accommodation for two people is provided by a folding Yakima roof tent, while a cargo management system installed inside the vehicle houses a refrigerator and cooking facilities. Furthermore, the rigid panels that replace the rearmost side windows have MOLLE equipment-carrying webbing grids internally attached to them.

Although there are no plans to put the Overland into production, replicating the concept’s features on a regular Bronco should be a fairly straightforward task.

‘New’ Jensen Interceptor

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.
