Running the Jensen 541S engine

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]We’ve been blessed with the presence of renowned race engine builder Don Warman today in our workshops as he spent a second day testing the engine of our 1960 Jensen 541S.

The engine is running beautifully and has been for the majority of the afternoon and with the gearbox soon to be arriving back after a full rebuild we now need toย get started on thoroughly cleaning and tidying up the engine’s components.

Repairing our Jaguar E-Type bonnet edges

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]With the new bonnet underside repair kits now with us, Laura has been able to remove the corroded areas around the bottom edging of the bonnet and replace with brand new panels.

A lot of the slightly damaged areas have also been corrected.

1973 Jaguar E-Type V12 arrives in Felixstowe

Our 1973 Jaguar E-Type V12 has arrived at Felixstowe docks.

After connecting it up with some jump leads to give it a bit of energy she powered up no problem at all.

Gordon decided to drive her back to our Ipswich workshops to give it a run.
