Jensen Nova, 1967, by Vignale. Alfredo Vignale’s proposal for a replacement for Jensen’s C-V8 was designed by Giovanni Michelotti using chassis JM/EXP/117, a short wheelbase version of the Interceptor platform. It was powered by a Chrysler 383 V8 engine with a Chrysler 4-speed manual gearbox. Originally presented at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1967, the 2-seat Nova was finished in dark green with a beige and black interior and a “wrap-around” rear hatch window. After the show Vignale stripped the car down, changed the rear window and lights, resprayed it off-white cream and re-trimmed the interior in red leather. The now white Nova was presented at the Turin Motor show. However Jensen had already decided to go with Carrozzeria Touring’s proposal for the 4-seat Interceptor and the Nova went no further
