Unsurprisingly, the five-door, five-seat Taigo uses the same MQB modular platform that underpins the closely-related Polo hatchback and similarly-sized T-Cross SUV.

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.
