541 Body Parts
Did I read somewhere on here, the Dutch have been re-modelling 541 body parts?? Or was this someone else??
Or was I dreaming?

Re: 541 Body Parts
You been smelling them there mushrooms in the mountains in the USA ? . No you are right there is a company that has started making things for 541 and CV8, not sure if it is the same one that you were thinking of but try:

A Dutch company, based near Epe, north of Appledorn (Eastern side of Amsterdam)
Hope that is of any help and you can stop dreaming??

Re: 541 Body Parts
Hi all,
Indeed; this is an iniative from a member of the Dutch Jensen owners club.
He has reproduced all the moulds to make a complete new (kevlar) body for a 541S or C-V8 MK. Engine, transmisson, steering etc, will be decided by customer.
All like JIA did with the Interceptor, but now with the 541S and C-V8.
If you want more information, pls do not hesitate to contact him: Ton van Rijn.
Next tuesday I will be there for a report/photoshoot for a Dutch classic car magazine

Re: 541 Body Parts
I also like the idea of taking one of those ugly Interceptor things and re-bodying it as a much prettier C-V8

Re: 541 Body Parts
I wonder if it works on the owners as well...

Re: 541 Body Parts
Does anyone know if a 541S bonnet will fit earlier versions of the 541? I know they ave different grill arrangements but are they the same physical size and shape bonnet?

Re: 541 Body Parts
Hi Martin hope you are enjoying your trip as for the 541s Bonnet it is wider then its predecessors so will not fit
Re: 541 Body Parts
Hi Martin, we (I.e. The JOC) have a bonnet mould for the 541R. This will allow bonnets to made which will fit the 541, 541 DL and 541R, although there are some differences between the 541R bonnet and its predecessors. Thanks to Mike Byrne for putting in many many hours of his time refurbishing this mould.

Re: 541 Body Parts
Many thanks for everyone’s input - hopefully the somewhat forlorn examples we saw earlier on this trip can be returned to their former glory!

Re: 541 Body Parts
A British car restoration workshop with a couple of 541’s languishing in the back. Other people took the details and hopefully, we can put the owner in touch with the right person/people to obtain the required bonnet
