Jensen 541 on TV

Post by AbnJensen »

Not sure if you are able to see anything from this link in the UK:
http://www.myclassiccar.com/video/
If you click on Season 17 Episode 17 and start at minute counter 15.38 there is a segment on this popular US Car Show which highlights a Jensen 541. I happen to be watching it on TV last week and was so surprised to see it!
Always great to see Jensens on TV!

I did record the episode on my pvr ..but not sure how to get the segment from there to here for the Euro folk!!
Perhaps those of you computer savvy types can figure it out..or capture the streaming content from the website.
A few other interesting cars on that particular show also.

The video clip is interesting, but nowhere near as interesting as the 541 2013 old news......fascinating reading as to who was doing what; not to mention the historical input on 541 prototypes.
And, WOW ! re-modelling a 541R bodyshell onto a TVR Cerbera chassis and running gear......More please ! Who did that, why, when and where is it now ?
Not that I'm about to cut up my Cerbera and follow suit....but, what a combination.
Plenty of Cerberas ended up in the bushes,..so, no problem with a doner……..but maybe 541R bodyshells are a bit thin on the trees ?
Was all of this covered in the old JOC club magazines ?

In the USA. Bonnet changed. Wrong indicators! Converted to wire wheels. Chrome infill on windscreen rubber.
