Our main workshops and competition studios can be found in the town of Woodbridge, Suffolk where we often host many a classic car event for everyone to come and enjoy.
Just 10 minutes up the road is the Bridge Classic Cars Hangar, situated within a former RAF station and home to a beautiful collection of vintage and classic vehicles.

Work continues on the metal fabrication
September 14, 2022
The metal fabrication work continues on the body of our Daimler DS420. Old, corroded metal is being cut out and replaced by brand new panels that have been meticulously produced by our skilled technicians Christian and Monty.
It is vital that no corrosion is left untouched in a restoration project as any areas that have not been addressed, rust will continue to grow and will eventually get hold of the new metalwork.
Monty and Christian are hoping that they are now on the final straight in the time consuming task of the treating the rust areas. Once this part of the project is done the car will be handed over to the paint team for paint preparation.

Jensen 541R – fibreglass door card backing
September 14, 2022
We very much encourage new technologies and forward thinking here at Bridge Classic Cars. Research and development is a huge part of what we do here. Just because a classic car was built using a classic skillset and classic approach that’s not to say that when rebuilding our beautiful cars we must always adhere to the traditional methods.
There is always a time and a place for emerging the two worlds and why shouldn’t the modern and classic processes join forces.
Our 1958 Jensen 541R arrived to us with many many parts ready to be assembled. The owner had commissioned interior panelling to be produced using fibreglass to help further reduce the risk of moisture or water to get in to the hard to reach places. The panelling has been fitted underneath the original style of door cards so that they will be seen when the car is completed.
