She Lives!

The 1953 Ford Transit van that arrived with us yesterday has spent the morning with our expert classic car technician Pete.

After five years of back and forth trips to mechanics, this unique Taunus Transit still wouldn’t fire up.

But, after a thorough diagnosis and via process of elimination, the talented team here at Bridge have solved the mystery.

“The magic eye was not fitted correctly on the distributor,” explained Pete. “It needed pushing down further so the rotor arm could be fitted correctly. The firing order was also wrong, so we’ve sorted that”.

Pete and Tamas have since done several workshop tests, including taking her out for a test run and she’s now driving well. There’s only a few more final checks to make before we can give her the all clear, but what a amazing turnaround – great work team!

Daytona Gear Box Removal

Pete, one of our specialist technicians here at Bridge, has successfully removed the 1979 Arrow Ferrari Daytona gear box ready for testing.

Once it’s restored, it will be married up with the new engine currently being worked on by our V12 engine restoration experts.

That sounds like a marriage made in heaven to us!

Vint-Tro – September 2020

Our 1989 BMW M3 E30 was left gleaming this week after a full valet by Viper Auto Valet, following the paint job we carried out on her recently.

So happy was her owner, he just had to share the news with our good friends at Vint-tro. Including some gleaming pictures of his pride and joy.

She’s looking as fierce as ever!
