Nostalgia – Our Friend Tony Meets an Old Friend!
August 16, 2022
A good friend of Bridge Classic Cars, Tony, had a run-in with a dear old friend at this year’s Helmingham Hall Classic & Sports Car Festival. His old BMW 2002 which he had in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
”Great day at Helmingham with Julie and chums from the MGCC. Whilst walking around, imagine my surprise to spot an old friend, my old BMW 2002, owned this old girl back in the late 80’s early 90’s for around 4 years, had a wonderful chat with the owner and a sit inside, great memories, even still has the 80’s radio I installed.”
Behind the Scenes – Shooting the 2008 Bentley Continental GT Speed
August 16, 2022
The Bridge Classic Cars team have been shooting our latest competition: the 203MPH, 600BHP 2008 Bentley Continental GT Speed. The absolute epitome of style and elegance married with pure power and performance.
Before anyone could take it out and drive it, it was fully checked over by the Bridge Classic Cars workshop team who have the car the green light to head up to The Hangar for filming.
As the 6-litre, twin-turbocharged W12 roared into life on the pad outside our secure storage facility, we all knew this was going to be an amazing shoot. From the first symphonious signs of life, the Bentley quietened down and become all the more civilised. The stunning anthracite paintwork danced underneath the summer sun from any angle, while its quilted beluga black leather gave the imposing long-legged GT car a cabin made for comfort as it made its way along the taxiway.
The 12-cylinder engine made its way along at little more than a whisper, gently pulling along at only a touch more than idle.
Molly was firmly behind the wheel and loving every moment. As the GT Speed made lap after lap of the filming location, you could feel it wanting to stretch its legs. Its inherent need to cover great distances, at wonderful speeds in supreme comfort is so ingrained in a car like the Continental GT. But, it’s also well-mannered and light to the touch with its controls, the linear acceleration (a characteristic of the twin-turbo W12) means that can be trusted and relied on to behave itself in a civilised everyday world.
And with all of that, we want you to experience the majesty that is the 2008 Bentley Continental GT Speed. That’s right, you could be the next owner of this tour-de-force of engineering, style and excellence. Head over to the Bridge Classic Cars Competitions right now and get your tickets for the 2008 Bentley Continental GT Speed.

We brought along the 541R which is in the early stages of its restoration with us.
We’ve even got some photos of Paul at work while he roughed out the sketch which you can see below and head over to his website and check out some of the other amazing artwork he has done and the tuition courses he offers.
Progress – Update on the 1971 MG B Roadster
August 16, 2022
The workshop team at Bridge Classic Cars have been working on getting the final bits and pieces sorted on the 1971 MG B Roadster before it heads off to its new home.
To begin with, the team at our Suffolk HQ discovered a crack in one of the flexi-hoses so that has been replaced with a new piece and all others were fully inspected and found to be ok.
Next, the team could fit the new brake master and wheel cylinder. This was installed into the car with all of the necessary pipework fitted up before the system can be filled and bled.
Finally, the new points and condenser could be fit into the distributor and the timing checked.
Adjustments – Adjusting and Repairing the Trim on the 2005 Suzuki Everyvan
August 16, 2022
The paint and body team at Bridge Classic Car have been working on repairing and adjusting the trim on the 2005 Suzuki Everyvan.
A lot of the trims on the tiny campervan haven’t been put on level or straight, while other pieces of the car arent square onto the body such as some of the door mechanisms and the rear lights. So, our in-house body team have been working on getting everything exactly where it should be and working perfectly too.
