You've never seen a car in this sort of condition before. It certainly was not like this when it left the Jensen Factory! The engine-bay is just unbelievable.

Won the Strathcarron Trophy (The Jensen Owners' Club's premier award) again this year. Photos by Nic Cooper:

I saw Ian and his gang polishing parts I never knew they existed on a 541 S :shock:

In your picture Jens, it's the underneathy bits of the car technically known as the bottom. The roof is known as the top by the way.

Chief enjilleer.

Ahhh, all these mysteries and secrets of your beautiful language ...

But we are UHing here, let's admire Ian's car instead and move the discussion about bottoms and how to look at them to where it belongs.

It was not necessary to place the pictures twice, Herr Huesken :evil:

I have started yesterday to remove the head to change the gaskets and to check the engine, so it's gonna be fine next week in Dresden.

Steak, sausages and beer for me, please.

A clean head gasket is a good beginning.
Any suggestion what kind of sausage?

Guys (Jörg and Jens only, sorry!),

am I allowed to join your barbecue, since my engine bay is somewhere between Ian´s and Jens´?!? :shock:
Still not able to upload pictures here :cry: , but a picture it is hidden on Jens´well known homepage ("MkII in Hessen").
Looking forward to eating steaks, sausages (any :D ) and drinking tons of beer :D :D :D
