Managing Director – Bridge Classic Cars
We’ve been making wonderful progress on both of our Jensen 541R restorations.
On our 1960 Black Jensen 541R, Paul has recently fitted the floor and brake and clutch master cylinder. The stainless steel exhaust has been custom made by exhaust specialists Demand Engineering and installed into the vehicle.
Paul will now be moving onto fitting the clutch pipe from the master cylinder to the gearbox slave cylinder.
In the trim shop, Brian and Kath have been trimming our Corvette engine powered 1957 Jensen 541R and 1960 Jensen 541R. We’re using Connoly Vaumol Leather. 891 Luxan grain chestnut in the 1957 Jensen and 8500 Crushed grain black in the 1960 Jensen. Brian has been covering the door cards in the specified brown and black leather leather.
Brian has trimmed the front arm rests and the rear seat divider in the Connoly Vaumol Leather.
Below you can see how Kath has trimmed the door card. Using the wooden panel that Brian has made, Kath cut the leather to size and has glued and stitched the leather in place.
Kath has applied carpeting to the door panels. She is now currently making the rear seats on the 1957 Jensen 541R.
Dave has custom fabricated this panel for Brian to trim.
