Before being put into storage, classic car technician Ryan swapped the fog and spot lights over on this beautiful classic car.
While Ryan has been looking at the lights, Dave was busy working to resolve an alignment issue with one of the door windows.
We have always known that our 1960 Jensen 541S is a beautiful and very special classic car. We love having it back in the workshop with us and the team here is enjoying being up close and personal with it preparing it for its time in storage.

Chris spent yesterday smoothing and polishing the body so that the paint looks smooth and perfect. We’re loving the richness of the red contrasting with the soft grey roof.
This 1960 541S Jensen is now sat in our trim shop ready to start its interior restoration journey.
Chris has been working on some of the exterior panels for our Peony Red Jensen. Although the body can be painted in one go, the exterior panels and doors need to be done separately to ensure the paint can get into all the details.
Here Chris is painting the wings with the Peony Red and a clear coat. The wheels have also been primed and painted.
Yesterday afternoon was the moment we’ve all be waiting for. The first drop of Peony Red paint has been applied to our 1960 541S Jensen. For months we’ve been watching our skilled technicians work on rebuilding and reworking the body of this Jensen and finally its entered the paint shop.
This is a very exciting development in this restoration project as it’s now starting to resemble a classic car! With this fresh layer of paint on, our beautiful Peony Red Jensen is blossoming into the iconic classic it should be.
Chris has been focusing on preparing other exterior elements for paint. Here Chris is working on a front bumper shield.
Our specialist paint technician, Chris, has been dedicated to preparing, masking and painting our beloved Peony Red Jensen. He began by applying primer and guide coat to the bonnet, panels and body. He then rubbed the car down with 320 and 500 sandpaper grit ready for paint. Once the car was masked up, it was ready for paint. Car masked up for a ‘Verkehrsgrau’ grey roof and red bottom. Once the two tones had been applied, Chris could paint on the clear preservative coat.
Our Peony Red 1960 Jensen 541S is getting closer and closer to evolving into a beautiful Peony Red classic. Before it can be painted, our workshop technicians Paul and Scott are assembling and fitting the parts before its sent back to the Fabrication bay for it to be properly fitted.
Once the fabrication bay has finished with the body work, it’ll be placed in the capable hands of our paint shop pro, Darren, who will begin the paint and prep process.
Here’s a reminder of the colours we’ve chosen for our Peony Red Jensen. It’s going to be dual-toned, with a grey roof and peony red body. These are the colours requested by the client.
