A Jewel in the Crown – 1973 MG B GT V8
September 6, 2021
When you first open the bonnet of any sportscar, the first thing your eye is drawn to is the engine. It sits centre stage and prominent, it is unmissable.
After the hard work by our talented in-house engine builder Ady here at Bridge Classic Cars, it was important to add the finishing touch. A beautiful set of refinished rocker covers to catch the eye of anyone lucky enough to stare into its soon to V8 filled engine bay. The care and attention given to each individual component are clearly seen here in the time and approach to something like a cover, it has to be as close to perfect for our customers.
With the rocker covers now finished and carefully installed onto the rebuilt and restored all-aluminium V8, it’s soon time to drop it into the car.
Alvis Has Left The Building
September 6, 2021
Just as soon as this 1961 Alvis TD21 was starting to settle in, it’s already leaving us. An unexpected arrival, this vehicle broke down on Thursday and was fighting fit again by Friday. The vehicle’s owners are on a long road trip from wales by way of Suffolk to a car show they are hosting in Oxford. It was crucial they were back on the road for the weekend.
After diagnosing the issue as a faulty starter motor, Paul set about removing the starter motor solenoids and replacing them with new ones. We had the starter motor repaired overnight and Paul re-fitted the unit Friday morning. With great work from the Bridge Classic Cars team, this beautiful classic made it to the ball.
1972 MG B GT Update
September 6, 2021
We last caught up with Alex back in April 2019 when we looked at his 1972 MG B GT.
The project was ongoing for Alex who was looking to carry out a lot of the work himself. We visited with a view of shaping, preparing and painting the body shell.
Two years on and it is lovely to hear from Alex again with a little update on his B.
“I have replaced both foot wells, inner wings, both floors, the full three piece sills and castle rails, both doors. Currently being done and still got to do is both rear arches each side. Full rear wings, boot floor and rear valance along with a few bits in between all them. So yes hopefully it won’t be long and you will have the car in your paint shop.”
Great job so far Alex and hope you’re enjoying the project!
