Electric Mini Sparks Online Conversation

We’ve teamed up with Electric Classic Cars to build the ultimate 300hp electric powered classic Mini. Our 1967 Austin Mini will appear on the upcoming series of Vintage Voltage, due to air in June 2020 on Quest.

Bridge Classic Cars has undertaken the bodywork preparation and paintwork. Our Paint Shop finished the vehicle in this dazzling ‘Surf Blue’.

The team at Electric Classic Cars have now begun installing the braking system. With 300+ horsepower now coursing through the wheels, this Mini was going to need a bit of an upgrade!

With over 3,000 likes, comments and shares, this little electric Mini certainly is a talking point! What do you think of the build? Spoiling an iconic classic or adapting to survive in the 21st century? We’ll keep you updated as the build progresses.

Bridge Classic Cars – Photo Shoots

If you own a classic car, you may feel like it’s as much a part of your family as the family dog, or perhaps even the kids? (Cars certainly answer back less…)

Either way, there’s absolutely no denying the unique bond you have with that metal box on wheels. It’s your pride and joy.

Which is why at Bridge Classic Cars we don’t just restore and sell classic cars, we offer a range of other services to help you cherish your classic forever.

Our professional photo shoots capture your pride and joy at her very best, keeping her memory alive even when she may be gone. It’s the perfect way to celebrate your prised possession.

If you’re struggling to find the ideal gift for the classic car enthusiast that has everything, our bespoke photo shoot packages are the perfect gift for the car lover in your life.

Whether it’s photographs of just the car, or with the family, we can shoot on location, include models, a champagne lunch – whatever you like! We’d love to discuss your vision and bring them to life.

Powering Up Our Jensen

Our stunning 1962 Jensen 541S is eagerly anticipated at her new home. Her new owners came to test drive her around the beautiful grounds at our Hanger Showroom at RAF Bentwaters, Suffolk. Needless to say, they fell in love with her instantly.

One of the requests of the new owner is to have power steering installed, in what otherwise would be the original 1960’s steering system. These modernisation requests are favoured with many classics, making these stunning cars more usable and reliable.

The original steering column has been sent to our specialist modifiers in Holland. Once they’ve done the modifications they’ll send it back. We can then refit it to the car and get the power steering working.

What is already a lovely car to drive will be even smoother thanks to this seamless modification.

We can modernise classic cars to include power steering, Bluetooth, air-con or even to go fully electric. Get in touch with us today to find out more!
