Behind the scenes at today’s Jensen 541 photoshoot…
December 7, 2016
Bridge Classic Cars have been chosen to represent this beautiful 1956 Jensen 541, recently restored and available for sale now.
This is not a restoration carried out by Bridge Classic Cars but has been completed to a very high standard by one of our close friends.
Here’s a sneak preview from today’s photoshoot by Sugar and Spice Photography, held in Polstead, Suffolk.
More images to follow and extra information can be found in our online showroom.
Cutting out the rot affected areas
December 7, 2016
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Our 1960 Jensen 541S (750CEA), the prototype, is still in our workshops as Asa spends another day repairing the steel bodywork sections.
This was always set to be one of our most challenging projects as fibreglass is so delicate. The Jensen body is predominantly made from fibreglass but the areas where the body meets the chassis and areas where the body requires most of its strength is finished in steel.
A lot of the steel has deteriorated badly, the rot has taken over. The only way to resolve these issues is for the rotten steel to be cut out and replaced with brand new steel.
Asa is busy doing this at the moment, a long and repetitive task but one that is essential and must never be avoided.
The Jensen 541 suffers from rot and the most affected areas are more often than not in the areas that aren’t easily seen.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”8567,8568,8569,8570,8571,8572,8573,8574,8575,8576,8577,8578,8579,8580,8581,8582″][/vc_column][/vc_row]
Tommy…welcome back to the Bridge family.
December 7, 2016
Last week we welcomed back Tommy to the Bridge Classic Cars family.
Tommy has over 30 years experience in the industry and is one of those guys that can turn his hands to anything.
A real talent and a man we are pleased to have back on our team.
You know the saying, ‘how many guys does it take to change a tyre?’ Here’s your answer…
Here’s Tommy on the far right.
As you can see, Tommy looks incredibly good for his age.
Bridge Classic Cars started here at Deben Road in Ipswich with Asa manning the fort. As a small workshop with big ambitions our reputation started to grow and so did our team. Tommy was the next to join the team and between them they created some incredible work, namely the now famous 1960 Jensen 541S which helped spread the Bridge brand internationally.
Tommy then moved on to new ventures closer to his home in Yarmouth. Having been away from us for a little over a year, Tommy has rejoined the team. It’s a bigger team that what he left and we now have glass walls and tiled floors but even with all the changes he’s settled in well.
