Acquiring an airbox for our Maserati Merak

The new old airbag has arrived for our Maserati Merak. Next stop, the paint shop where we’ll prepare it ready for a fresh new look. Next time you see it will be just before it’s fitted in the car and it’ll be finished perfectly in good black with a brand new filter.

Gearbox gets the specialist treatment

Our 1960 Jensen 541S is one of 3 the prototypes that were original built by the Jensen brothers. Two of the prototypes were built with a manual gearbox and only one was developed with the automatic transmission…this, is the automatic.

A very special and unique car that deserves the very best and that is why certain aspects of the restoration journey require more of a specialist touch. Here we have the automatic gearbox that has been removed from the engine by our expert engine builder Don Warman.

The gearbox is now being packaged up to be delivered to the West Midlands to be rebuilt by G.Whitehouse Autos Ltd.
