Inspect and Report – Checking Over the 1933 Austin 7
March 1, 2022
The 1933 Austin 7 is back in the Bridge Classic Cars workshop for our restoration team to look into a couple of issues with the wonderful little car.
Firstly, the owner has noted that when the car is put into reverse the wheels seem to lock up. For this, our technicians are beginning to strip apart the wheels/hubs to get to the bottom of the issue.
The car has also reportedly burnt out its clutch. Again, this will be inspected by our technicians and tested to confirm.
In Summary – 1952 MG TD
March 1, 2022
With the 1952 MG TD project finished, Bridge Classic Cars thought we would take this time to talk about this incredible classic sports car.
This MG TD only had to have a single repair done to its roof. Upon inspection by our restoration technicians, that was the only item that needed attention. Everything else on the 70-year-old sports car was in amazing condition thanks to its full restoration in 1978 and the regular maintenance given to it by its previous owners.
Soon, everyone will get to find out just what is happening with this 1952 MG TD next very soon…

Quick Fix – Repairs to the Seats on the 1958 Morris Minor 1000
March 1, 2022
The trim shop at Bridge Classic Cars have worked their magic on the 1958 Morris Minor 1000 that is in with us.
The team noted some small tears and holes in a few of the seats so created small patch pieces to lay over them and fix them into place. Although they’re not exactly the same colour, they’re the closest piece to the original that we have in stock for smaller pieces to be used as repairs and will stop the area around the damage from deteriorating any further.

The workshop at Bridge Classic Cars have been stripping down and modifying the firewall/bulkhead of the 1970 Bristol 411 for its conversion to left-hand drive.
Our technician Paul, has been removing all necessary bracketry and components from the car in order to change over any of the pieces from one side to the other. With pieces being moved around in the engine bay, he has welded created replacement pieces which will be welded in to plate over and then any access or holes that need to be made can be cut into the new material.
Coming Soon – Team C Mini’s
March 1, 2022
Continuing our relationship with Team C Racing, we are about to being the process of respraying 3 classic Mini’s for the local Mini specialists.
Firstly, the car finished in grey primer. This will be changed to brown with a white roof. A classic colour combination for a Mini.
Secondly, the black and red car. The entire car will be changed over to orange and a fibreglass bonnet fitted to the car.
Lastly, the white car. This will be having some bodywork carried out on the car before it is resprayed in a brand new white. This car is having a new front panel fitted and a rear quarter panel to make sure the body looks as good as the paintwork on top of it.
Anyone who knows of Team C will know they’re keen racers and true enthusiasts and experts when it comes to everything classic Mini. So, Bridge Classic Cars is happy to help and will be painting these 3 Mini’s over the next few weeks.
Making Sense – Modifying the Wiring Harness of the 1979 Arrow Ferrari Daytona
March 1, 2022
The workshop team at Bridge Classic Cars are working on cleaning up and modifying the wiring harness for the 1979 Arrow Ferrari Daytona.
Rob, one of our restoration technicians, has taken the entire harness for the car and begun to strip it back into individual systems to assess what is and isn’t there for the classic Daytona replica. The harness itself comes from a Jaguar XJS which includes multiple sensors, relays and components which aren’t needed or found on a Daytona.
So, Rob is working his way through and cleaning up the harness to make sure everything that needs to be connected is there and both neatly and safely in the car. Stripping away any unneeded pieces to simplify the car’s electrical system.
Coming Soon – 1954 Bristol 405
March 1, 2022
Coming soon to the Bridge Classic Cars workshop is this beautiful 1954 Bristol 405.
Bridge Classic Cars have acquired the car for a customer to be restored and converted to left-hand drive by our workshop teams. The car is partway through a restoration in Ireland but is being supplied with the engine and gearbox from a Triumph TR6.
However, we have managed to track down and source the original engine and gearbox for the car! So, once they both arrive at our Suffolk HQ, the Bristol and its powertrain will be reunited once again. The TR6 engine and gearbox will be used for our own 1972 Triumph TR6 project completing what is needed for the car.
We’re excited to show you more about this fantastic car and project once it arrives at our Pettistree workshops.
