1966 Jensen CV8

Estimated Price: £15,000 - £20,000

The CV8 combined Jensen's hand-built four-seat grand touring bodywork with Chrysler V8 power, making it one of the fastest British four-seaters of its era

This 1966 Mk III is powered by Chrysler's 383ci (6.3-litre) V8, coupled to the well-proven TorqueFlite automatic transmission

Further specification includes four-wheel disc brakes and a limited-slip differential, whilst the cabin is traditionally appointed with leather upholstery and wood trim

Purchased by our vendor in Australia in May 2024 with the intention of carrying out a full restoration, however, a subsequent change of plans now brings the Jensen to market

Imported into the UK with the relevant duties paid and now UK-registered with a V5C. The car has remained unused since its import and will require recommissioning before returning to the road

Retaining its appealing green leather interior, this rare CV8 offers its next owner the choice of sympathetic recommissioning and preservation or a more comprehensive restoration.
