Jensen-Jensen CV8
car
The Jensen CV8 is a classic car that was manufactured by the British company Jensen Motors Ltd between 1962 and 1966. It was the first of the ‘big’ Jensen models and was the most powerful and luxurious car that the company had ever produced.
The Jensen CV8 was designed by Italian car designer, Giovanni Michelotti, and was based on the Austin-Healey 3000. It was powered by a 5.3 litre Chrysler V8 engine, which produced a staggering 230bhp and could propel the car to a top speed of 125mph. The CV8 was also fitted with a four-speed manual, or optional three-speed automatic gearbox.
The exterior of the Jensen CV8 was sleek and stylish, with a long bonnet and a low, curved roofline. At the front, the car featured a distinctive chrome grille, while the rear was dominated by a large, curved boot lid. The car was also fitted with large, chrome bumpers and a set of wire wheels.
Inside, the Jensen CV8 was luxuriously appointed, with leather upholstery and walnut veneer trim. There was also a full instrumentation, including a rev counter and an oil pressure gauge. The car was also fitted with a variety of modern conveniences, such as electric windows, air conditioning and a radio.
The Jensen CV8 was an instant hit with the motoring public and was a popular choice for those looking for a stylish and luxurious car. The car was also well received by the press, with one magazine describing it as ‘the most powerful, most luxurious and most beautiful car ever made in Britain’.
Despite its popularity, the Jensen CV8 was only produced for a short time and only around 1,500 cars were built. Today, the Jensen CV8 is a highly sought-after classic car and is becoming increasingly rare. As such, the car has become a valuable collector’s item and is often seen at classic car shows and auctions.
The Jensen CV8 is a classic car that is sure to turn heads wherever it goes. With its powerful engine, luxurious interior and stylish exterior, it is a timeless classic that will always be admired by car enthusiasts around the world.
