The 64 CV-8 that 007 Sean Connery bought in May 1967 was for sale earlier this year, did it find a new home ?
So News of the World
were the registered owner(s), before it went on to Charles Follett's in Jan 67 (if I can read that correctly) before Sean took it in May of that year.Yes, News of the World were the first owners of Connerys CV-8 !
Who would have thought that a Newspaper would have bought a new Jensen !
Guessing it was for one of the senior directors or who ever was in charge then ?
I am suprised that Connery chose a green one, as the colour simply does it No justice what so ever, but i imagine he chose green to be discrete ?
However, when he bought his new 3.0CSL in July 73 from Pennine Motors ( BNW Distributors for Yorkshire ) in Leeds, he chose a Polaris Silver CSL, registering it to his London flat on Chelsea embankment, he would have been Very distinctive in it surely !!

Back in the mid 90’s Connery’s CSL was advertised in Loot for around 3/4K if I recall correctly - it was in there for weeks if not months....Who would have thought that a Newspaper would have bought a new Jensen !
