Although the prototype
was exhibited in 1953, the Jensen 541 did not enter
production until 1954. Widely considered to be the best
looking car ever to emerge from the West Bromwich (UK)
factory, it was styled by Jensen’s Eric Neale. It was
not just attractive, it was also highly aerodynamic with
a Cd figure of just 0.39, one of the lowest recorded at
the time.
This car is the actual Jensen prototype that was built
for the Earl’s Court Motor Show in London. Hand built at
the Jensen factory, the body is made entirely out of
aluminum, apart from the fiberglass boot lid.
This car was previously exhibited at the Glasgow Motor
Museum in Glasgow Scotland.
