Swapping Lights

After having an award-winning summer at a number of classic car shows, our 1960 Jensen 541S has returned to us.

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.

Peony Red Chrome And Carpet

The chrome came back for our 1960 Peony Red Jensen 541S last week and it is now starting to be fit by our classic car technician, Paul. A range of badges, sills, handles and other pieces of chrome is set to be re-fit, giving our classic Jensen that sparkle of life. These have been reconditioned by Tony from Wyatt Polishing.

Paul has begun to fit the window chrome back on, which as already made this magnificent classic look mighty again.

The trim shop have also been helping with our peony classic. Lydia has sewn together these circle inserts for Brian. She began by top stitching the edge of each insert after Brian has assembled them. She then sewed a flap round the edge of each one, which will eventually look like a bonded edge once Brian has finished gluing them onto the wood. Brian made these pieces by marking out the circular air vent measurements on hard wood, cutting them out and then marking and cutting the carpet out to go with the hardwood pieces. Brian then followed this by cutting out the leather for the air vent holes and made a skirt for around the edge of the carpet. He then glued leather around the edge and applied the carpet to the boards.
