Introducing the future of Bridge Classic Cars! Porsche: Mission E – Tribute to tomorrow
The idea: The Porsche of tomorrow? A sports car, naturally.
What do we at Porsche think of when we look to tomorrow? Sports cars, naturally. Our Mission Future Sports Car. But we also look for sustainable mobility, and consider trends for digitisation and urbanisation. Because in the future our sports cars will tackle these routes too – in pole position – bringing new technologies from the race track to the road.
With Concept Study Mission E we take our next step towards the future. With an all-electric sports car that defines our vision of e-mobility. The time is ripe for this study. It shows that, in addition to our plug-in hybrids, all-electric drive systems can truly meet our standards of intelligent performance. For us, this declaration is distilled into one clear philosophy: Porsche E-Performance.
Our Concept Study Mission E is still just an idea but it embodies our complete vision of all-electric driving. Four individual seats, four doors, two luggage compartments. Electric drive. E-Performance, Porsche style. Integrated in a harmonious overall concept. Concept Study Mission E sets the stage for tomorrow. With its design and its technology, it provides answers to the question of the sports car of the future.
Prototype confirmation from Jensen Car Company
May 21, 2018
Original documentation from the Jensen Car Company to confirm our 1960 Jensen 541S was indeed one of the prototypes.
‘Congratulations on your acquisition. Your car was one of the three experimental chassis built to prove the 541S, and they were numbered JM/EXP, JM/EXP/101 and JM/EXP/102. Only EXP/101 had the automatic gearbox.
There are a few remaining records of the 541S, but we can supply the following on your car:
Chassis number: JM/EXP/101
Engine number: 40/A/11058
First registration: 750 CEA
Colour: Pearl Grey, Black Roof
Trim: Red
Invoiced: 11 January 1963
First owner: E.D Robinson
The car was used for road tests, demonstration purposes and, as an experimental car, was no doubt driven by the Jensen brothers and carefully looked after by the engineering department.
In addition to three experimental cars, 124 production examples of the 541S were built. Most appear to survive.
You might like to contact Keith Cerrino of the JOC for any further information on this car. His address is: “Dalkeith”, Village St, Harvington, nr Evesham, Worcs, WR11 5BQ (tel. 0386.871009)’
Removing the large quantity of filler
May 21, 2018
As you can see from the images below, we have had to remove a large quantity of filler from our 1965 Amphicar.
At some stage in it’s previous life someone had applied filler excessively which is not ideal and in order to carry out the repair and preparation work correctly we will look to remove it all. Once the body preparation is complete we can then look to re-paint.
Although the car arrived with us in red we will carry out the re-spray to match the original factory specifications of it being Beach Strand White. (Ditzler Code 8703 = DAR offset 90113)
