Gaining Access To Corrosion Areas On The 1986 Daimler DS420

The team of classic car technicians at Bridge Classic Cars found some areas of corrosion on our 1986 Daimler DS420 a little while ago.

In order to fully inspect all of the corrosion areas, the team have had to gain access to some tricky parts of the car.

Recently, the servo was removed to give our classic car technicians better access to specific areas of corrosion. Once removed, work could begin to resolve some of the corrosion issues as the Daimler continues its journey of restoration.

Winner – 1991 Mercedes 300SL

The only thing that could be more exciting than finding out you’ve won a 1991 Mercedes 300SL through Bridge Classic Cars Competitions, is when it gets delivered to you and you get to meet your new car face-to-face.

That’s exactly what happened when we delivered Neil Beedie’s new car to him.

Neil won the 300SL in our September 15th draw with ticket number 3141.

We hope Neil enjoys covering many miles in his new classic car.

Working On The 1979 Arrow Ferrari Daytona

Scott, one of our classic car technicians, has been hard at work on the restoration of our 1979 Arrow Ferrari Daytona.

From having his head under the bonnet to being under the car itself (and everywhere else in between), Scott continues to restore this incredible car so it can be back on the road where it belongs.

A Classic Car Technician In Action – 1978 MG B GT

There has been a lot of work completed on our 1978 MG B GT to get it into its current state.

As it continues to be beautifully restored here at Bridge Classic Cars, our classic car technicians, like Rob, can always be seen working hard to lovingly bring this classic car back to all of its former glory.

A Weekend Spent In The 1940s – Sheringham and Holt 1940s weekend

At Bridge Classic Cars, we love all things classic. That’s why we love events like the Sheringham and Holt 1940s weekend.

We had a great time enjoying a little trip back in time, as we spent the weekend with other past-loving enthusiasts.

From the 1940’s style musical entertainment to many other activities filled with nostalgia and all things vintage, the weekend was a lot of fun, and we can’t wait to go back again!

A Classic Gift – Behind The Scenes Of A Classic Car Photoshoot

Like many classic car enthusiasts, Steve has always appreciated the look of his classic Ford Escort XR3.

Knowing how much he loves his car, Steve’s daughters chose to celebrate Father’s Day by working with us to arrange one of our classic car photoshoots.

For the photoshoot, Steve and the Bridge Classic Cars team headed out to our Bentwaters base for a fun-filled day of classic car appreciation. From these behind-the-scenes shots, you can see how much fun we all had. It wasn’t just Steve who got to enjoy how cool his classic car looks either – we all saw, first-hand, how cool it really is!

Steve is left with some great photos and his daughters are left with an extremely high bar that they have set themselves for their next gift idea!

1978 MG B GT – More Progress!

Our 1978 MG B GT has taken another big leap forward on its restoration journey.

With the fitting of its propshaft and radiator, real progress has been made to get this classic car back on the road, where it rightfully belongs.

In addition to the propshaft and radiator, the MG B GT’s headlamps, front spoiler and bumper have also been fitted. This has made it even more recognisable as the truly stunning car that it is!

A Repositioned Steering Arm For Improved Geometry – 1970 Bristol 411

Now that the 1970 Bristol 411 has been converted to a left-hand drive, our classic car technicians have repositioned the steering arm.

Doing this improves the steering geometry, which can make a big difference in how the finished car will drive when it is returned to its owner.

1959 JENSEN 541R – Back From The Blasters

After a trip to the blasters, our 1959 Jensen 541R has made its way back to the workshop.

Once the newly blasted shell has been inspected by our classic car technicians, the next stage of restoration can begin.

1958 Jensen 541R – Leather Interior

The 1958 Jensen 541R has already come a long way since its arrival at the Bridge Classic Cars workshop in Suffolk. With recent work being completed on the front and rear seats, attention turned to the leather that would be covering the interior bodywork.


The material selected perfectly complements the dark blue interior that the finished 541R will have. This also pairs nicely with the metallic body and lobelia blue roof that the paint team gave the Jensen a few weeks ago.


Skilfully cutting out the templates to ensure the leather was ready to be installed before glueing them into position takes a bit of time and patience – something that our classic car technicians have in vast quantities.


The finished job has an impressive look and perfectly fits in with the work completed so far on this classic car.
