1965 Jensen C-V8


Jensen C V8 1962–1966


  • For a Jensen C-V8 a set of 185 VR 15 PIRELLI CINTURATO CA67 is recommended by Longstone Tyres.
  • For a low-profile alternative you could fit a set of 205/70 R 15 PIRELLI CINTURATO CN12, however, we would not recommend this as it may be detrimental to the handling.
  • Our period Innertube Guides suggest that the C-V8 ran tube-type wheels throughout its production. Innertubes are required for these wheels.
  • If you want or require innertubes, the Michelin 15F innertube is the best fit for these tyres.
  • A German automotive magazine's Classic Car Tyre Test on a Jaguar E-Type identified the PIRELLI CINTURATO™ CN12 as the best 205/70 R15 tyre for classic cars without power steering For models with power steering, the PIRELLI P5 was recommended as the superior choice.

History of the Jensen C-V8


Built from 1962–1966, the C-V8 would use the same wheelbase and track dimensions as the car it was replacing; the 541S. It also kept the notable 541 trait of having fiberglass bodywork with only the door skins being made from aluminium. Named the C-V8 after the 361 V8 Chrysler engine it would go on to use, the car was notably quick compared to other 4-seaters of its era; reaching 0-60 in 6.7 seconds. 500 would be made.
