Our trim team are always engaged in the constant pursuit of perfection, and their most recent exploit is the dashpad of our 1956 Jensen 541.

Our trimmer Lydia made the dashpad for our classic Jensen a few months ago now, but the project is now at the stage of having its interior put into the car bit by bit alongside the mechanical team getting the car back into place in the new finishing workshop. During this, Lydia noticed that the dashpad of the car didn’t quite perfectly fit as she liked and also was the wrong shape in some place and obscured the view to some of the dials and also got in the way of some of the switches.

So, Lydia stripped the piece down and slimmed it down which allow it to function properly alongside making the piece aesthetically fit better into the classy and sophisticated interior of the 541.
