Re: Jensen bodied 1950 Invicta Black Prince auction
I seem to remember that there is something very unusual and complicated about the original gearbox fitted to these cars. I will have to try and dig out the article from the automobile about 3 or so years ago. The extracts from an on line article below relate to a similar chassis design with non Jens...

Re: Foldable engine hoist - recommendations
Stuart, please make sure that the crane you choose has enough capacity at full reach. The centre of gravity when lifting both engine and longitudinal gbox together will be not be far from the bulkhead and the reach of a small crane when lifting a significant weight diminishes rapidly. Those 240s hav...

Re: Rear handbrake assembly fork
All the 541 (DL, R, S) that I have worked on have a different fixing arrangement for the retraction forks with 2 holes rather than the thicker tab opposite the forks… saying that, there are very few DLs that have not been modified over the years to take square friction pads, so perhaps the earliest ...

Re: Orange plastic empty fuel
was the original part threaded? if so, they look very similar to those fitted to an MGTF - see below (I know it is blue, (red and green also available) but other cars from this era may have use yellow/amber)

Re: 26th, 27th and 28th July 2024, Jensen 541 70th Birthday Weekend,
Hi, we have been in Shaftesbury for the last 2 days, progressing the hotel arrangements, visits and routes. All is coming together and the hotel inform us that they have 26 rooms already booked by Jensen enthusiasts. This only leaves 6 rooms left in the hotel. If you are thinking about coming and wa...

Re: Original Eric Neale designs?
Hi, there are some sketches, not by Eric Neale sadly, but they appear to be by a Jensen draughtsman for an early magazine article. You can buy copies from JOC regalia

Re: First Registration number ?
Hi Paul, what is the chassis number? With this someone will be able to look up the information in one of the Richard Calver books (first reg number may be listed, but is not listed for every car)

Re: Blue 541, ex-Barrie Price.
The fuel pump on this early car should be a camshaft driven AC pump. What Kees has described would be correct for a 541R but not a 541S which is also an AC pump.

Re: Blue 541, ex-Barrie Price.
Chris, I knew barrie price had restored the car for his niece. I had given them an (in my opinion inflated) insurance valuation based on photographs a few years ago. I have also debunked the vendor family’s claim that the car had only ever been owned by two families - the sales text that you have co...

Re: Blue 541, ex-Barrie Price.
Looks like there are a few issues with this car (rear lights wrong type for this early body moulding, boot lid fit, spare wheel carrier, paint colour, interior mixture of colours, fuel pump probably too small to deliver enough fuel and the price does not reflect the current market…) but what do I kn...
