The moment we’ve been waiting for…the first piece of the stunning interior starts to be fitted up inside our 1971 Jaguar E-Type V12 roadster.
The bespoke choice of Golden Sands mixed with the maroon/burgundy interior, matching hood and mats all work perfectly together.
We are also looking into some special features within the car, stay tuned to find out more…
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Work has commenced on the refurbishment of our 1998 BMW 840Ci front and rear suspension. The shocks are to be sent away to Poland to be completely rebuilt but whilst removing the shocks we have uncovered a few unexpected issues.
The splash shield is severely corroded on the near side which will need to be replaced.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDWc6SvVKnU” align=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The springs, hubs and ABS sensor now need to be removed before the set up can be sent away to Nagengast in Poland for the full rebuild.
This afternoon we collected our 1985 Mercedes 280SL ready for the re-commissioning project to commence.
We can already see just how beautifully original our SL is so a full restoration is certainly not required on this one.
When we arrive back at the workshops we’ll be able to see just how far we need to take this car to get her back on the road looking lovely.
We had a visit to our new workshops today from a previous customer of Bridge MOT Centre. He brought with him his gorgeous 60’s Mustang for a quick check over.

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Available for sale: 1958 Rover P4 105S
Announced 16 October 1956, the 105R and 105S used a high-output, 8.5:1 compression version of the 2.6 litres engine used in the 90.
The higher compression was to take advantage of the higher octane fuel that had become widely available. This twin- SU carb engine produced 108 hp.
Both 105 models also featured the exterior changes of the rest of the range announced a month earlier. The 105S featured separate front seats, a cigar lighter, chromed wheel trim rings and twin Lucas SFT 576 spotlamps. To minimise the cost of the 105R, these additional items were not standard, however they were provided on the (higher priced) 105R De Luxe.
The 105S had a manual transmission, Laycock de Normanville overdrive incorporating a kick-down control.
The 105S could reach a top speed of 101 mph (163 km).
Production of the 105 line ended in 1958 for the 105R and 1959 for the manual transmission 105S, 10,781 had been produced, two-thirds with the manual transmission option. For 1959 the manual model was described simply as a 105 and the trim and accessory level was reduced to match the other models.
When the Rover 100 was announced in October 1959 it was described as the replacement for the Rover 90 and the Rover 105.
Our car today is a 1958 Rover 105S. Purchased by the current owner in 1978 with only on previous owner prior. The car was last run and used in 2002 and has been dry stored every since. She is in very good condition and can easily be recommissioned or restored. Body is excellent. Interior needs a good clean as does the chrome.
Sold as a non runner but we have no reason to think that it wont run with new fuel. Turns over with no effort required.
We are happy to quote for any works required.
Please note this car is being sold for one of our customers and no warranties apply.

With the Bedford exterior colour changing from green to blue, the bright green interior had to go!
We opted for a brown vinyl covering to the seats for this one but rather than the previous flat texture-less seats we have added additional stitching to freshen up and improve the overall design.
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Our 1976 MG B V8 is now well on its way to the full respray. With the car fully stripped, the body preparation and re-shaping is going very well. Hopefully within a week or two the paint process will begin.
