Re: 541 in Germany
What are the mistakes? The 3,932 cc? They don't say much, although the auto-translate says it is a "Jensen 541 DeLuxe wedding trolley". Wedding car?
It looks very nice, the way it sits, but they have swapped around the front and rear indicators!

Re: 541 in Germany
... meant the misspellings. there are at least 15 mistakes in that short text.
I mean, if I want to sell a car for that price I should invest some time in correct spelling.
The pictures are perfect the text isn`t...

Re: 541 in Germany
Ah, not being a German speaker I missed those and relied on the translation. I can never understand why anyone would sell a car for that amount and not get a professional, or even a friend, to run their eye over the text. At the risk of starting a discussion of grammar and spelling over again, they must know that it is not their strong point and may be knocking thousands off the price.Arne wrote:... meant the misspellings. there are at least 15 mistakes in that short text.
The photos of the car though... they sum up everything I love about the 541.
Anyone know the chassis number, old registration, or history?

Re: 541 in Germany
I googled the telephone number and it leads to a Balkan club/disco in Munich. The text gives very little information on the car.

Re: 541 in Germany
I wonder if the sale is legit, and if it is what the story is...

Re: 541 in Germany
I have never seen the car in Munich before and I ask myself how the owner found the price. It is so far from all prices for 541‘s, nobody will give him a call, I think.

You should do - just to find out. Strange car, unknown LHD conversion.
I own some of the odd Jensen

Re: 541 in Germany
Sorry for using another language.
For the rest of the non-German speaking world:
Will be in Munich soon and have a look at the car with Arne.
And then we will have a Balkan party

Re: 541 in Germany
I have a feeling that this is one of the 541 cars modified by the Dutch Jensen orientated company.
I can not understand why they left the gear lever on the right hand side, when it is a fairly simple job to put in a new cross shaft in the box and bring the shaft out of the left side. Likewise with the handbrake.
Not sure why they went to a lot of trouble to re-route the servo NRV valve and piping, just so they could mount the starter solenoid in its place.
Saying all that, someone obviously spent a lot of time and money to get it right in most respects.
I would think that from the start, before restoration, it was a very original car and possibly low mileage.
Great photos, well worth saving.
Anyone know the chassis number ?

Re: 541 in Germany
Having a closer look at the side view, the rear wheel does not seem to fit the aperture correctly, although this could be just camera angle ?
