Mauro, one of the Bridge Classic Cars in-house restoration technicians, has been working on getting the Blaze Orange MGB GT stripped down for assessment by the team.
The MGB GT has been stripped back piece by piece for the in-house restorations teams to inspect and assess for the project moving forward. Each piece that came off the car has been catalogued and put into storage for when it is needed as with all of our restoration projects.
The bare shell will also be looked at by our paint and body experts to begin the list of jobs that will need to be done to this wonderfully characterful car.
Expect to see a lot more on the Blaze Orange MGB GT here on the Bridge Classic Cars news page very soon.
Little Details – Chrome Headlight Bezzles on the 1977 MGB Roadster
January 31, 2022
The 1977 MGB Roadster currently undergoing restoration at Bridge Classic Cars has had a couple of its finishing details put on the car before it heads into our in-house trim shop.
Jon, one of our in-house restoration technicians, has been working on finishing up the front end of the classic convertible. One of those jobs is to install the brightwork. This time, he has installed the headlight surrounds onto the bezzles for the car. This small detail goes a long way to add to the look of the car.
The team at Bridge Classic Cars have revitalised the small roadster through hours of hard work and skill our amazing in-house teams.

Arch Repairs – Fixing the Rust Issues on the 1987 Daimler Double Six
January 31, 2022
The arches of the 1987 Daimler Double Six are in need of some TLC. So, with the car in the hands of our in-house fabrication team, Monty has begun the process of getting them back to better than new.
Monty carefully removed any affected sections from the sills all the way up the inner wheel arch, making sure to remove material in such a way it could be templated from.
With these sections cut out, Monty began making the replacement pieces by hand to ensure a tight, safe fit to the luxury Daimler.
Then, inch by inch he welded the new sections into the car and ground them down so once the car is painted, you will never know they are there.
Featured – 1967 Austin Mini 850 in the Ipswich Star
January 31, 2022
It’s always a lovely sight to see our previous projects out in the world. An example of this is the 1967 Austin Mini 850 owned by our friend Simon Benton.
This Mini was aesthetically restored by Bridge Classic Cars last year in preparation for its all-electric conversion done by Team C Racing and Electric Classic Cars. The car arrived at our workshop as a shell, then our in-house paint and body team got to work getting this wonderful classic Mini back to better than new condition before its date with the workshop in Wales for the conversion.
You can see more on this project in the upcoming Discovery Channel series about the car.

Begin Again – Remaking the Seats for the 1955 Jensen 541
January 31, 2022
A while ago, we said goodbye to the beautiful Jensen 541. It was sold as a project to its very lucky new owner who plans on restoring the car.
Well, now the interior is back in the Bridge Classic Cars in-house trim shop. Brian is making a brand new rear seat for the car while
Lydia is busy stripping down the original bucket seats to assess the fibreglass mouldings for any cracks or damage.
Either way, it’s always nice to see a car (or parts) find their way back into our workshop here in Suffolk.
