Recharged and ready for action, the classic Jensen Interceptor has been given a new lease of life thanks to the financial backing of Carphone Warehouse founder Charles Dunstone. The entrepreneur has joined the “board of Jensen International Automotive after investing in the company which is re-launching the classic Jensen Interceptor marquee of the 1970′s”, according to the Telegraph website.

Using the time honoured tradition of adding an S onto the name to revive the ancient name makes these classic cars the Jensen Interceptor ‘S’. PistonHeads. com reports that these vintage motors have been “sufficiently modified to make them a much more modern proposition”, but still maintaining the classic characteristics.

For those people who aren’t petrol heads, the name Jensen makes you reckon of speed-thrilling hunky F1 racing driver Jenson Button, but in fact we’re talking about the dream car of the 60′s and 70′s. According to Jensen-cars. co. uk, the sleek iconic looks of the Jensen place it in a different league back in its day and is on track to do it all over again, but this time with 429bhp!

Classic cars are certainly not well-known for hitting high speeds, but this modern classic can hit “60mph in a claimed 4. 5 seconds”, according to PistonHeads. com, while heading for a top speed on the far side of 160mph.

Lifted from the past and re-designed to meet the demands of today’s motoring – that’s the modern version of the classic Jensen Interceptor S.

The Porsche 911 has been modified many times over its lifespan to suit the current markets and to satisfy the demands of its customers.  The classic 911 is said to have been developed as a much more powerful, larger more comfortable replacement for the 356 – the company’s first model, and has gone on to be the most successful model made by the well-known marque.

Every classic car can be traced back to its roots and for the 911 this goes as far back as the original sketches drawn by Ferdinand “Butzi” Porsche in 1959. The 911 Carrera RS are considered by many to be the greatest classic 911′s of all time and are highly regarded among collectors.

When a new car is born there is always high hopes, but Porsche’s first six-cylinder production car has surpassed all expectations and long lived into a new millennium.  Every year newer, shinier, quicker cars hit the roads and the headlines promising better performance than the last, and the Porsche is no exception.

The 911 GT1 was designed and developed in 1996 for the purpose of competing in the GT1 Le Mans racing class. This particular model even gave the McLaren F1 GTR’s a run for their money on the race track and in 1998 went on to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

According to PistonHeads. com, Porsche has released pictures of the new 911 Carrera GTS ahead of the huge reveal at the Paris Motor Show next month. Porsche says, “the new Carrera ascends to the pinnacle of the Carrera model series, with a power output of 408hp, outstanding vehicle dynamics and a specification” that emphasises the character of the iconic classic coupe.

This model comes as a ‘last hurrah’ before the 997-series arrives next year and attempts to park in the rather large shoes of the 911.

Washing cars doesn’t sound like a glamorous job but when your clients own some of the most expensive motors including Bugatti Veyrons, McLaren F1s and F1GTRs, it makes the job worthwhile.  MSN News has reported that “an entrepreneur from Derby is charging more than £7,000 for his car cleaning service”.

The eye-watering price tag might seem crazy to most of us, but for people who own these expensive cars their philosophy is, pay more and know your pride and joy is in the hands of a right professional.  Vintage means value, but if you’re valued classic car isn’t kept in excellent condition the vehicle could depreciate. Sometimes it pays to pay more.

The “accountancy graduate has turned his like of quick cars into a booming cleaning business, charging each client a substantial amount for each bespoke valet”, according to the Daily Mail website, which is understandable when you hear that he pays over £8,000 for a single tub of wax and uses more than 100 different cleaning fluids.

This guy takes attention to detail to a whole new level with his 250 hour cleaning regime per vehicle, which includes polishing and buffing every inch of the car inside and out five times! The 30 year ancient doesn’t like to boast and keeps his high profile customers a secret, but he has revealed that the list includes Premiership footballers, lawyers and actors who say that “the costs of his service is peanuts compared to the value of their cars”, according to the Daily Mail website.

Separating your work from your home life can be hard for some people, and in the case of this young accountant it must be even harder as his cleaning routine takes place in the garage at his parents’ house where he currently lives. He has even confessed that “the first time I cleaned a Ferrari Enzo it took a week and when I tried to sleep all I could see was Ferrari red”.

Ironically this successful entrepreneur, who spends his days cleaning other people’s cars, doesn’t have a shiny motor of his own. I guess you could say that’s one less car to clean.

 

It crashed in the first place at Le Mans, has flirted with a lot of F1, was the attendance of the rich and well-known, and even had an affair with Steve McQueen – not terrible for a girl about to strike 50 large. If you do not work I speak of the well-known Jaguar, which has lost a slice monumentous automotive history.

The Telegraph site refers to the Jaguar’s coolest cat “for all”, which is understandable when we look back on very flashy vintage cars who arrived at the British manufacturer of luxury cars. Two of the greatest moments in Jaguar’s long history have been so far won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1951 and again in 1953.

In 1961, we were impressed by his unparalleled beauty, performance and outstanding value, but nothing could have prepared us for the fantasies of the Jaguar E-Type caused. For most of the British in 1961, owning a car was very ambitious, it is hard to exaggerate it a glamorous part of this classic beauty was.

If it’s excellent enough for Steve McQueen is certainly excellent enough for us. The like tale between Steve McQueen and denied the Jaguar was not a secret, with a thrill-seeking movie star driving a classical building, the couple was a match made in heaven.

Another chapter of the autobiography is the tale of Jaguar XJ220 that is inspiring and sad. It was a car of your dreams in your day with a V-12 engine and 4 wheel drive, which saw its future road car ever. The XJ220 was built at a cost of £ 400,000, which was where the problems started. In a report on PistonHeads. com, it was reported that the accident exotic car market, buyers have refused to pay the high price tags, which meant precious these cars are sold below list price – with a bit more than two hundred that establishing the plant gate. ”

Every girl needs her friends around from time to time, so it is not surprising that the launch party of the Jaguar XJ, the most well loved Jaguar, was suspended with other models like Elle Macpherson and Delevigne Poppy discuss design, shape and style of the car with a glass of Veuve Clicquot.

 

The roar of an engine can be described as music to your ears, but the noise of the collapse of metal can drown the harmony and bring tears to the eyes in a second. Classic engines have certain “je ne sais quoi”, which means it is hard to place a price on perfection.

But, there is always a high price for repairs after a blow or shock, but in most cases, the price of losing some of the classic tale is a much higher price. One of the most memorable clashes came in 1999 when the former star of Mr. Bean, Rowan Atkinson “machine crashed his 240 mph after hitting the back of a meter,” reports the site Telegraph. I bet he wishes he was at the wheel Reliant Robin is featured in the TV series, instead of having to pay for a new bumper and front wing of a McLaren F1 supercar worth £ 650,000 .

Supercar Bugatti Veyron are emblematic of the speed and excellence, why do not fall into the hands of an amateur rider. But, in March 2007 there were reports of a crash of a Bugatti Veyron and Vauxhall Astra – Needless to say that the Bugatti is “one of the world’s most expensive and quicker vehicles street legal, has taken a beating and carried the scars to prove it.

The most expensive car to be involved in a collision was a Ferrari 250 GTO 1962 to 1964, worth approximately £ 19 million. The assessed value is supposed to have reached an incredible 28.5 million in hurts, and to make matters worse are the owners own misjudgment and the absence of rupture that led to what ends up in the trunk of a car idling in traffic. Maybe the brakes are an added bonus on these luxury supercars!

Bugatti Veyron supercars are iconic with speed and excellence, which is why they shouldn’t end up in the hands of an amateur driver. But, in March 2007 there were reports of a crash involving a Bugatti Veyron and a Vauxhall Astra – needless to say the Bugatti that “is one of the world’s most expensive and fastest street-legal vehicles”, took a excellent bashing and carried the scars to prove it.

Thousands of classic car enthusiasts gathered at “one of the greatest F1 circuits in the world” yesterday for the Donington Autojumble, in the hope of saving the legendary Donington circuit. The future of the circuit was uncertain after a “failed attempt by businessman Simon Gilett to stage the British Grand Prix there”, reports ThisIsNottingham. co. uk. But, subsequently remodelling plans have been place into place as Donington prepares to take over Britain’s only F1 race from Silverstone.

RMA Club has reported that Donington’s Autojumble (part of the save Donington event) is “one of only a handful of opportunities this year to visit this historic circuit” in its current state before the work starts on the transformation of the circuit in time to be considered as the new host for the British Formula 1 Grand Prix. Classic car devotee’s turned up in their thousands, making the pilgrimage to Donington Park in an effort to show solidarity for the “beleaguered circuit”, according to ThisIsNottingham. co. uk.

The rally that took place yesterday allowed people to walk around the circuit for free, viewing classic cars and talking to other people who share their passion for classic cars. This novel thought was thought of by motor enthusiast Lee Coombs as part of a campaign to save Donington. Mr Coombs shows he knows a thing or two about owning an impressive vehicle as he drives around in a 2006 Lotus Elise.

Mr Coombs has commented on the success of the rally by saying “it was an opportunity for people to come to Donington Park for free and show their allegiance, and I reckon we have proved it with about 5,000 people coming along to the event”.

Attendees also commented on the success of the rally, with Peter Storey of Oxford, who bought along his pride and joy 1962 E-type Jaguar, saying “it has been a fantastic day with so many people turning up. We just wanted to show our support”.

Visitors to the event had the rare chance to see Donington Parks founder, the late Tom Wheatcroft’s, extensive collection of vintage and classic cars, as well as catch a glimpse of the devastated circuit.

It’s no surprise that the Donington circuit is widely acknowledged as one of the world’s greatest circuits, with a parkland setting that provides a natural amphitheatre for spectators, and a track that boasts quick, sweeping curves providing a fantastic challenge for competitors.

A trip to Belgium won’t be complete without three things: chocolate, fries and a trip to Spa-Francorchamps racing circuit. Why should you spend the time to seek out this race track? Besides the history of the place, the whole countryside where the track is located is one of the most scenic that you will find.

Situated in the Ardennes Forest, the whole region is comprised of mountains and scenic vistas. Driving to this place is like driving through a national park and, if you go during the right time of year, the whole countryside is spectacularly green. Picture taking opportunities are around nearly every corner that you come across on your way to the track, and there will be no shortage of small, picturesque European towns with quaint main streets and gift shops for those who like that sort of thing.

To get to the track, you will simply have to follow the signs through the towns of Spa and Francorchamps. And don’t worry, because no matter what sort of car you happen to own, the townsfolk have probably seen it. The track opened up in 1922 after being drawn up two years earlier. Originally, the track rivaled the daunting Nurburgring for shear length and speed. It was 9. 3 miles long and was comprised nearly exclusively of public roads. Also, it was run at full throttle for nearly the entire lap and earned the distinction of being one of the fastest race tracks in the world. It also has some of the most well-known corners in the world, with names like La Source, Stavelot, Rivage and Eau Rouge.

Spa also has a distinction for being a track with a gruesome past. There are many recorded tales of people who were killed at the track, either from racing or being a bystander. Many times, the driver would have been decapitated or simply killed from being caught in the barbed wire fences that lined the sides of the track. If you want to take a tour around the country side and the roads outside the track, you can still find the same routes that were used back then and drive on them today. Doing this will give you a sense of the monumental plums that these drivers of a bygone era had to have and it will also expose you to some of the fantastic regional scenery that this part of the world contains.

To find out more about the Spa-Francorchamps circuit, you should consult the circuit’s official Web site.

Though if you take this route, be sure that you have your car spoilers place on their highest downforce setting, as you will want to keep your car planted to fully experience the quick, sweeping corners that the track contains.
