Fitting up the E-Type dash

Tommy has been busy perfecting the Jaguar E-Type dash refit.

The car is really starting to take shape with more and more improvements being made everyday. We are just days away from running the car up for the first time and being able to fit up the new interior.

Once the interior is in position the car will look and feel almost complete and we can’t wait. A real show stopper in the making…

 

Tactical Helicopter Flights

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Here we have Craig enjoying his first tactical helicopter flight from Manchester City Airport.

Helicentre’s Tactical Flying Lesson; as part of a total of 3 x 6 minutes flights, a rotation flight where each passenger will enjoy 1 hands on experience flight and 2 observation flights. This counts towards your Pilots’ Licence and you’ll also get a signed flight certificate!

The type of Helicopter used is a Robinson R44 Raven II with 3 available passenger seats, all with a window seat!

Seats can be purchased individually or in multiples. A minimum of 3 seats must have been purchased for this flight to take place.

Fitting up the new interior

Early next week we’ll complete the final few items of our brand new MG YT but the rear seats are now complete and ready to be fitted.

We’ve used the original seats but have remade with new base cushions and re-introduced the lighter interior. The blue piping has been added to blend the interior in with the clipper blue exterior.

Coming soon…1947 Rover 12

Coming soon to Bridge Classic Cars, one of only 200 ever made, a 1947 Rover 12 – LUA 733.

The Rover 12 was a name given to several medium-sized family cars from the British Rover car company between 1905 and 1948.

Our 1947 Rover 12 resides in Laxfield currently and has been off the road for at least a couple of years. We have the task of carrying out a sympathetic recommission to get her back on the road for all to see once again.

The images has been sourced sourced from Car and Classics and originate from our good friends at Anglia Car Auctions.

New photos will follow once she arrives in our workshops next week.

Some new additions to our MGYT project

With the old badge bar beyond repair we have now sourced a brand new one, refurbished the original AA badge but kept the owner’s club as it arrived and now the entire unit is fitted back on to the car.

The brand new roof has also been built up and fitted. We are yet to fully fit and tighten where required but as you can see, the general shape and design fits perfectly to the frame.
