The car leaving a recent International, note that it's not Chris at the wheel
Built in early 1965, this CV-8 Mk3 manual-drive experimental model JM/EXP/109 was entered into the Commander’s Cup 24-hour race at Snetterton where British racing legend Roy Salvadori was in the team that took the car to victory.
Despite its winning history, the car was believed to have been scrapped when it was purchased by Chris. When he saw the chassis number EXP 109, he knew it was something special, so contacted Jensen Parts & Service who were sure the car was disposed of many years ago.
From Chris' research it seems the car was abandoned in a corner of the factory before eventually being sold to an employee. He discovered it in a garage in the Wirral covered in dust with the bonnet lid melted where a light bulb had sat on it.
When Chris brought the car he had no idea of its racing pedigree, and with help from the club, he obtained pictures of the car featured in Jensen’s advertising as well as pictures from Salvadori’s win.
Helped by a friend, Chris rebuilt the engine and completely restored the car to an extremely high standard. It is now shown at Jensen Owners Club events in the UK and Europe

Just in case the C-V8 isn't eye catching enough Chris also owns this heather pink E-type.
Chris has known the car since it was two years old, for more details see the Heritage article here
