Hands-On – Leo Does His Work Experience at Bridge Classic Cars

Last week, Bridge Classic Cars welcomed our latest new face to our Suffolk workshops – Leo.
Leo came in to do his work experience placement with us. He has a passion for all things automotive and plans to get into either motorsports data analysis or motorsport management after qualifying.
While with us, he spent time with our restoration departments who got him to work straight away. The teams reported back that he did a great job and his attention to detail was excellent, especially the work he had done in the trim shop with our trimmer Lydia. Who supervised him from start to finish in making a one-off leather cushion bag.
We want to wish Leo all the best with the future and the best of luck possible in whatever he does moving forward!
Onto the Next Stage – Filler and Primer on the 1958 Jensen 541R
July 25, 2022
The 1958 Jensen 541R has had its filler work completed by the Bridge Classic Cars paint and body team. Chris, one of our paint and body specialist, has been carefully perfecting the body lines and curves of the classic Jensen with minimal filler work.
Each panel and piece was worked on by the team in the absolute pursuit of perfection. From electrical sanders to the finest of sandpaper, the team have made the body of the 1950s GT car superb.
Then, it was time to get all the panels and the body into our in-house spray booth.
The classic Jensen was then taken into the paint booth to have the 2nd round of its primer laid down. First was the normal primer before then having its body and all the panels finished in Polyfan.
The team will then inspect and assess the body before moving on to the next stage of the cars aesthetic work.
