High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Jensen 541S was Jensen Motors luxury GT model of the Jensen 541 series, being 4" wider than the 541R, which had the advantages of making the interior roomier and improving the roadholding. The 541S had a conventional radiator grill (as opposed to the flap of the 541) to allow for the extra heat given by a proposed new V8 engine, and a Salisbury limited slip differential for the extra torque demanded. Jensen used their own powerful version of the Austin DS5 4 litre straight-six engine (featuring triple SU carburetors, a high compression Weslake head with custom made twin exhaust manifolds and an alloy baffled sump/oil cooler) in the 541S. Initially the Jensen brothers wanted to use Chrysler Hemi V8s as tried in Richard Jensen's Jensen 541delux, but none were used because of supply difficulties. However one was fitted with a Chevrolet 327 V8 at Donald Healey's request. 127 cars were hand built between 1960 and 1962 at Jensen's West Bromwich factory, most having Rolls-Royce hydramatic gearboxes.
