No points for guessing who this C-V8 belongs to!
This is Jens Jansen's C-V8 mark III, 112/2342.
Jens purchased the car in 2005. It was originally a RHD car that was converted to LHD quite some time ago.
He uses the car as one of his daily drivers, together with the 541S and MGB (which he has owned for 22 years now). He has done more than 25.000 miles with the car, trips around Europe, reliabilities, N?rburgring and other nonsense (his words!)..
The car was bought because he needed a proper wedding car and he was originally looking for an Interceptor. But then he saw a picture of a C-V8 for the first time and immediately knew that was what he wanted. He prefers the Mk III because of its nicer front design.
The C-V8 in its dress for Jens and Caroline's wedding in May 2006 in Merano, Italy.

during "Langenburg Historic" 2009 after some muddy trials.
The interior is customized, the door panels and the facia are made of South African Yellowwood veneer, this was done during the coversion from RHD to LHD.
