Behind the Scenes – Photoshoot with the 1975 MGB GT
February 4, 2022
Every car has a story. Some have been places, some of them have done incredible things but some, have just been adored by their owners. That’s the case with this 1974 MGB GT.
This car had been owned by its previous owner for the better part of 30 years. Through meticulous record-keeping on the car, you can see its story with them. So, with that in mind, Freddie decided to give this car a special kind of photoshoot.
The early morning light at the airbase where we is something else. It comes up low behind the ridgeline and breaks across the frosty ground. Only the sound of deer in the trees keeps you company in the early hours of the dawn light. That is where we find out MGB, parked on a fighter jet turning pad.
Freddie had got the car out from our secure storage facility, the hangar, as the first rays of light came above the horizon. You have to move quickly around here to get the light. So, Freddie made sure everything was warmed up and happy before pulling away from the hangar doors. MGB’s are some of the most practical and user-friendly classics around, but this one is definitely one of the easiest ones we have driven.
Once he had moved the car into its position and the light had just broken onto the curves of the car, the shoot began.

Bridge Classic Cars have welcomed the newest arrival to our workshop here in Suffolk. This beautiful 1952 MG TD, finished in glossy black with a contrasting green interior.
The car has come in to be assessed by our in-house restoration teams to find out what if anything this incredible little sportscar needs to be back in top shape for its future.
Keep a lookout here on the Bridge Classic Cars news page for more on this wonderful 1952 MG TD.
Step One – Getting the 1965 Porsche 912 Back to Bare Metal
February 4, 2022
The wonderful 1965 Porsche 912 is currently in with Bridge Classic Cars for paint and bodywork, so it has been moved into our state of the art in-house paint shop for our technicians to begin working on it.
Alan, one of our amazing in-house paint experts, has stripped the iconic Porsche back to bare metal to begin the process of making the body perfect. Carefully and methodically, Alan has worked his way through the entire car to get rid of any old paint on the body.
We’re excited to bring you the next stages in the project of this 1965 Porsche 912 from Bridge Classic Cars.
Laid Bare – Dismantling the 1978 MGB GT
February 4, 2022
The in-house restoration technicians at Bridge Classic Cars have been busy dismantling the blaze orange 1978 MGB GT.
Mauro and Tom have stripped the entire car back to a bare shell for its assessment by the other in-house restoration teams. As part of this process, the technicians have carefully been taking photos of each individual component that comes off of the car and cataloguing them separately as assemblies.
This will help not only with the assessment of the car (in terms of what can be refurbished) but also if any new parts/pieces need to be sourced for the project. With the car this far stripped back, crucial parts of the car can be fully inspected by the team.
Expect to see a lot more on the 1978 MGB GT in at Bridge Classic Cars here on the news page.

New Shoes – Fresh Tyres on the 1973 Jaguar E Type Series III Roadster
February 4, 2022
The Bridge Classic Cars team have managed to source a set of tyres for the 1973 Jaguar E Type Series III known as Fern Grey.
Fern Grey will soon begin road tests and with that, we felt it needed a new set of tyres. At the request of the owner, we have sourced the closest we can get to the original tyres as possible but with a modern compound. Originally the tyres would have had a 215 section tyre but these tyres are a 205 section from Pirelli.
With tyres mounted thanks to Tyre Assist, our in-house restoration technicians can now move forward on the checklist before road testing this incredible one of a kind E Type.
