Strip and Clean – Rebuilding the Brakes on the 1958 Morris Minor 1000
February 24, 2022
The Bridge Classic Cars workshop have been working on servicing and refurbishing the front and rear drum brakes on the 1958 Morris Minor 1000 currently in with ourselves for some work.
Our technicians have taken apart the drums all the way back to the carriers and hubs to be able to fully inspect and assess each part of the drum. The shoes and wheel cylinders needed to be changed as the customer had noted the brakes were very poor even after a recent master cylinder was fitted. After every piece was cleaned and prepared, Rob began to put the whole system back together before testing.
After testing and adjusting, all 4 drums on the Minor 1000 were working perfectly and when the time comes, ready for the road ahead.

Remove and Repair – Fixing the Sunroof Mechanism on the 1986 Ford Capri Laser
February 24, 2022
Our recent arrival, the 1986 Ford Capri, has been inspected by the workshop who noted the sunroof on the classic Ford wasn’t working correctly. So, the whole mechanism was removed to be completely assessed by the team.
They found that one of the arms which control the tilt of the sunroof had broken, causing it to not load in and out of the roof correctly. After days of searching for this piece everywhere online, our fabrication team have expertly made a new piece to go back on the car.
With this installed back on the mechanism and the sunroof back in the car, it has been tested by the workshop and works correctly every single time.
This Just In – 1954 Jaguar XK120 Project
February 24, 2022
Bridge Classic Cars have recently acquired this beautiful 1954 Jaguar XK120 for sale as a project to be restored.
This XK120 was in the process of being restored by its previous owner who could not complete the project, unfortunately. This XK120 project comes with a full V5 as well as a spare chassis and boxes of spare parts to complete the project.
The previous owner managed to get hold of a correct 3.4-litre straight-six engine for the project, but the car itself is not numbers matching. The car if bought, however, could be restored by our workshops if required.

Back Home – The 1971 Jaguar XJ6 Heading Home
February 24, 2022
The 1971 Jaguar XJ6 which had some engine work recently has gone back home to its owner after everything has been completed on the car.
The Bridge Classic Cars technicians worked on replacing both fuel tanks on this stunning light blue XJ6 late last year before discovering the engine also needed some work to be done in order to get it running 100%. The team cleaned out every coolant galley in the engine block while the cylinder head was being repaired.
With everything complete and tested on the XJ6, it was held out our secure storage facility, The Hangar, while it waited to go home. Just before, we pulled it out to take some final photos with this wonderful piece of Jaguar history.
Piece by Piece – Removing More Pieces of the 1970 Bristol 411
February 24, 2022
The Bridge Classic Cars workshop have been meticulously working their way through the dashboard of the 1970 Bristol 411.
Our technician Paul is going through each component and wire to carefully label and catalogue each piece that comes of the classic British GT before it’s removed from the car and put into storage. The wiring harness is being labelled and noted for when the left-hand drive conversion is complete and the car is reassembled. With this part of the removal, it’s crucial to be methodical and attentive to each and every component on the car.
We’re excited to bring you the next phase of this exciting and unique project very soon.
