Seller's comments about 1966' Jensen Cv8
1966 Jensen CV8 MkIII Manual, 1 of Just 2 Produced By the factory.
2. owners from new. Requires restoration, engine runs.
All C-V8s used big-block engines sourced from Chrysler; first the 361 and then, from 1964, the 330 bhp (246 kW) 383 in³. Most of the cars had three-speed Chrysler Torqueflite automatic transmission, but seven Mk2 C-V8s were produced with the 6-litre engine and four-speed manual gearbox, followed by two manual Mk3s. The engine is entirely setback behind the front axle line which made the C-V8 one of the first front-mid-engined cars. While the great majority of C-V8s were made in right-hand drive (RHD), ten were made in left-hand drive (LHD).
The car was one of the fastest production four-seaters of its era. The Mk II, capable of 136 mph (219 km/h), ran a quarter mile (~400 m) in 14.6 seconds, and accelerated from 0–60 mph (97 km/h) in 6.7 seconds.[2] It was also one of the quickest cars to 60 mph in the world being significantly faster than such performance cars of the period as the Lamborghini Miura, Aston Martin DB5 and Jaguar E Type.
