541 1957 for sale

Don't worry if you haven't heard of this exotic British model until today, as its production during the six years it was marketed was only 546 units. The Jensen 541 was one of the first British cars to feature a fiberglass body, which rested on a steel chassis, giving it great lightness. And the weight of its original mechanics, a 6-cylinder inline engine and 4.0 liters from Austin, combined with that of the enormous gearbox, made the Jensen a heavy car, with good stability on fast roads, but lacking agility on winding roads, a handicap for those trying to compete with it. For this reason, a common modification of the time for those wanting a lower weight was to replace the mechanics with that of a Jaguar XJ6, much lighter and more reliable than the original power unit. Our unit is equipped with such mechanics and, with a power close to 200hp, will delight those looking for a fast and different classic. Please enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.
