Yes! And it's mine! They approached John Staddon who asked me, and I thought, well why not, could be fun, and will promote the marque and model after all!
It's in their series called "The List" The whole day was spent with me in the passenger seat, foot to the floor, while the lucky reader drove it purposefully, but respectfully! Photographer was amazing on the tailgate of the journalist's BMW, and the results are wonderful.
I've now got a full set of excellent images of my car!

That should result in a surge of buyers for the C-V8! Looks lovely.

i've been a Jensen Owner for 17 years... and, perhaps i shouldn't admit it here, but until recently the C-V8 hasn't done much for me.

But now... especially when you see one looking as utterly sensational as David's does here... oooh... i think I want one!!

i'd need to remove the front bumper from 'mine' though.

I'm trying - and failing - to remember what the front of a bumper-less C-V8 reminds me of...

The best i've come up with is a Pegaso - something like this one... or maybe the Briggs Cunningham racer but i'm sure there's another that i cant place.

The Buckle was made from 1957 to 1959.

Bumpers or no bumpers, I like both. I‘m back to bumpers again. If I had another Jensen to use in more everyday situations I‘d take the bumpers off, intall a different seat with proper belts, mount semislicks. Maybe remove the interior and get a big airbrush painting done of a mermaid, on the hood :D
