October 1, 2020
Ahead of the Live Draw tonight, our biker buddy tomboy_a_bit shared this cool picture of herself on our 1963 BSA Trials Bike.
There’s now only a couple of hours to go before we finally find out who the lucky winner is. This bike is great fun, easy to ride and a firm biker classic.
Even though tomboy_a_bit is new to the world of classic motorbikes, she too couldn’t help fall in love with them; “It’s got so much character!” She said about our BSA, “I can’t wait to ride another classic bike soon.”
Make sure you tune in to watch the Live Draw tonight at 7pm over on our Facebook page.

A Breath of Fresh Air For Our 1951 MG TD
October 1, 2020
Dave, one of our Master Technicians has worked his magic on this wonderful MG TD. It’s been treated to a full recommission and service here at Bridge Classic Cars. As part of the recommissioning process, it was noted that the non-standard air filters would be hindering our TD’s engine capability.
As part of the work carried out, Dave has remade the old air filters with new and improved filters, allowing this MG to breathe more freely.
Dave’s relocated the radiator support bracket to better fit the new air filters. ‘It’s quite possible the engine in the vehicle isn’t original, as this MG wouldn’t have left the factory with the air filters being impeded’, Dave explains. Superb work, Dave!
Mercedes In Its Prime
October 1, 2020
Our stunning 1987 Mercedes 500SL has been in the paint shop having her primer sprayed ahead of being shaped and re-primed.
Her owner, our Director Craig, is yet to choose the colour for his gorgeous classic. It was originally in silver, but he’s keen for a change.
What colour would you go for?
’96 Nissan Patrol now Adventure-proof
October 1, 2020
Antony has been toiling away, repairing every sight of rust that has plagued the underside of our 1996 Nissan Patrol chassis. With fresh metal now let in, this superb off-roader will be ready to tackle many years of punishment from the elements.
After it’s stay in the fabrication bay, the vehicle has now made its way into our paint-shop. Pete has noticed a major leak from the front offside hub seal and has notified the workshop team. Once the Nissan leaves the paint shop it will have a full workshop inspection to correct any issues needed to get this car back at it’s best.
Being a rare left hand drive model, our Patrol came with chrome bumpers. Now incredibly difficult to find a replacement, the team will be repairing and re-chroming the original bumper.
The Big-Cat Burglar
October 1, 2020
Car accidents happen, and they’re upsetting. But nothing breaks our little classic-car-loving hearts more than when someone purposefully damages someones pride and joy.
This gorgeous 1967 Jaguar MKII came to us after having been broken into.
The car’s been left in a very sorry state. The back seat’s been ripped apart, in what we suspect was the thief’s attempt to get into the boot and steal its contents.
But, with no access to the boot from the backseat and having sustained no major external damage, this little Jag has had a fairly lucky escape.
We’ll be pleased to see her interior put right and send her on her merry way.
So be careful you cat-burglars, this is a Jaguar that might bite back!
Pro-Paint Peugeot
October 1, 2020
Our expert paint team have been stripping down our classic 1972 Peugeot 504 ready for primer and her first coat of paint.
Darren, our classic car paint specialist stripped the car down to the bare metal and has primed the shell ready for that special ‘Zinn Grey’ to be added.
After the shell is prepared, there’s been a coating of primer added, which then has to be sanded back down before another coat is applied.
Once the primer stage was complete, Darren’s then been able to add the first coat of the customers chosen colour- Zinn grey.
There’s still further coats to add to make sure it’s perfect. But this colour is already popping and just you wait ’til you see it against the red interior!
