Jensen C-V8, 1962. Designed by Eric Neale, 500 C-V8s were made in 3 series between 1962 and 1966 initially powered by a 361ci Chrysler V8, then after 1964 it was upgraded in Chrysler’s 330hp 383ci engine. The engine was placed behind the front axle making it one of the first front-mid engined cars. The bodywork was fabricated in fibreglass with aluminium door skins.
