The Jensen 541 was built from 1954 to 1963.
The 541, the most traded version: Jensen's 541 pioneered fiberglass construction in British GT cars, predating the Corvette's adoption by a year. The sleek four-seater coupe wrapped Austin's robust 4.0-liter straight-six in a body that was both lighter and more aerodynamic than steel alternatives. With just 546 examples built over nine years, the 541 represents Jensen's transition from coachbuilder to manufacturer. The car's distinctive wraparound rear window and clean lines influenced later Jensen designs, while its fiberglass construction proved remarkably durable. Performance was respectable rather than spectacular, but the 541's real appeal lay in its unique combination of practicality, style, and innovative materials. Today's collectors appreciate the model's pioneering spirit and rarity. Values remain reasonable compared to contemporary Aston Martins or Ferraris, making the 541 an intriguing entry point into 1950s British GT ownership.
