Thomas has been fitting the mushroom shade leather front seats into the peony red Jensen. He first had to fit runners into the front of the car, these are bolted in, either side, as a pair. The seats then slide onto these with attachments on the bottom of each front seat. These runners are what make the seats move backwards and forwards, to give more or less leg room in the front!
Thomas has also fitted the centre mirror, centre console and sun visors.
Kath has been making a boot carpet for the Jensen 541s too. She made a carpet cover for the fuel pipe, to match the boot. These were both made by her creating a paper pattern first. All the edges of the carpet were binded in the mushroom leather.

The oil pump gear would not turn so with the use of a marker pen, Ady was able to show where the pump was rubbing and then he could relieve the high spot to allow it to turn.
One that was done, Ady had to sort out the end float as there are two thickness’ of gaskets.
Here we have the oil pump drive coming through the housing to the distributor to make sure it all works before thbe rebuild.

The Bridge Classic Cars team got exclusive access to the world famous Lotus’s HQ at Hethel to shoot with Jake Humphrey and a team from Norwich City Football Club and Norwich City Community Sports Foundation.
With Ellie on the Behind the scenes and supplementary visuals and Freddie directing the crew, we managed to shoot some amazing visuals for the campaign. You can take a peak behind the scenes here:
The two John’s have been working on our Ford Escort Twin Cam rewiring project. The front loom has been stripped and refitted to take an electrical fan. The middle loom was very good so having cleaned it up we felt it was best to leave it alone.
On running up we diagnosed an issue with the alternator so it went away to be repaired by the specialists at Nacton Auto Electrics Ltd.
The dash and switches have also been fitted up too.
