One day in to the fit up of the brand new V12 wiring loom from Autosparks and it’s been a really successful day. The majority of the loom is now in. The boot area and centre are complete and the engine wiring is in position but just need finishing.
We are a couple of looms short but these have been ordered and have been shipped next day.
The centre section and dashboard are complete.

The sun is beaming down at Bridge Classic Cars HQ as we say our goodbyes to the beautiful 2005 Vauxhall VX220 Turbo. As original as you’ll get, our very low mileage 2005 Vauxhall VX220 is undoubtedly one of the most appealing examples on the road today.
She’ll now reside in Colchester with new owner Mr Smith and will no doubt enjoy many many years of travelling the Essex roads and beyond.
We’ve had a fantastic time in her already this year with a trip out to Kersey Mill for this year’s Drive It Day.

Although our current gel coated steering was in better than average condition we needed to look at freshening it up so that it did not stand out against the rest of the car once the restoration was complete. This task proved very difficult as there are very few companies that are able to offer the gel coating. Other companies could offer the ‘next best thing’ but that was not what we wanted.
We heard rumours that the Jensen 541S steering wheel matched that of an Aston Martin DB5 but not only would be just as difficult to find, it was also incorrect information as the DB5 wheel is a different dimension. Albeit the same look.
We then stumbled across the guys at Classic Car Restoration Services, they were able to produce a brand new wheel to perfectly match the wheel from the Jensen…and offer a gel coat service in their factory. They are one of those fantastic finds that you know will come in very useful for many years to come.
