Not the best sounding British car imo, but happy birthday all the same.

Have travelled in a CV8 as passenger and very impressive it was- a lot of go and a fabulous V8 rumble. I may be alone in loving the styling too- but very much a marmite car I suspect; I far prefer it to the later Interceptor which I always thought was a bit sleazy GT man .

the Jensen Interceptor is the relaxed cruiser with massive torque (440 Magnum Chrysler) Kind of steam engined club chair.
CV-8 is sportier with the higher revving 383.
this video shows the CV-8s hidden racing car genes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qt51sds9EG
