Jensen C-V8 - A Misunderstood Gem

Hello all! :D Often described as a car with a face only a mother could love, the reality is that behind the contentious slanted headlights and low profile of the Jensen C-V8, lies a car that could easily grapple with venerable rivals such as the Jaguar E-Type and Aston Martin DB5, this extremely rare, low production machine also being instrumental in that it highlighted to Jensen the need to expand its assembly facilities so as to remain competitive, and thereby paving the way for its signature Interceptor of 1966.
