Meet the Man Trying to Build the World’s First 200MPH Jensen!

What happens when a bloke watches The World’s Fastest Indian, has a pint in the pub… and decides to make a 1965 Jensen CV8 go 200mph? You get THIS. Meet Ian Northeast and his utterly bonkers turbocharged 8.2-litre Jensen CV8, packing a Dodge Viper gearbox, Bonneville salt-flat history, and enough horsepower to terrify small countries. From 145mph to 194mph at Bonneville, this machine is now just SIX miles per hour away from the magic 200mph barrier. And yes, there’s a Wookie teddy bear onboard for luck. Naturally. This is one of the maddest, most brilliant British car stories I’ve ever heard. Visit and subscribe: https://BrownCarGuy.com for more motoring stories, videos and updates!
