1960s1966youtube

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. At the request of the Jensen Museum, who wish to encourage positive, non-commercial use of content from their website and selected content from their Archive, this video has not been monetised. Use of this material has been made for the purposes of education under section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, in which allowance is made for “fair use” for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, education and research. Fair use is a use permitted by copyright statute that might otherwise be infringing. Non-profit, educational or personal use tips the balance in favour of fair use. The use of said footage is not being made in any commercial capacity, but is displayed for the purposes of education and example in the context of the documentary.
