A New Carpet Goes In
October 14, 2022
Our 1969 Morris Minor 1000 Convertible has a new carpet!
Lydia cut and shaped the underlay before glueing it into the car. She then cut and fit the new carpet on top of this.
She also did some work on some of the components that will hold the front seats in place. Lydia sandblasted these to remove the rust and old paint before spraying them with primer. Once they were properly prepared, she then finished them off in a beautiful gloss black.
While she was in the car, Lydia also installed the door cards into the car so lots of progress has been made as work continues.
More Fibreglass Work
October 14, 2022
Classic car technician Alan has once again been repairing and replacing parts of the fibreglass body of our 1956 Jensen 541.
He ground back the cracks in the bonnet before covering it in a new sheet of fibreglass.
In addition to this, Alan also reinforced all the bonnet supports as they were weak and loose. Once this had been done, the bonnet went on to be prepped on both sides ready for its coat of epoxy primer.

As everything is being reassembled and refitted, this classic car is starting to look as good as we knew it would.
Still Turning Heads – Our 1959 MGA Twin Cam
October 14, 2022
When we launched our 1959 MGA Twin Cam on Bridge Classic Cars Competitions earlier this year, we knew that it was an extremely special car.
The story of this classic car has been an interesting one from the start but it’s not quite over yet.
Since being won by Peter Leyland, the car is still turning heads and is still being recognised for the truly impressive classic car that it is.
Peter got back in touch with us recently and shared some news about the car along with some extra history he has discovered since becoming the new owner.
In September 2022, it was awarded car of the month in the MGA Register News which is a publication by the MG Car Club and it was also the featured MGA in a newsletter from the MG Car Club following the MG Live event held at Silverstone in July.
The photos below show the MGA Twin Cam in all its glory along with some of the great information Peter was able to share with us.
Our 1959 MGA Twin Cam – always a very special car!
The Wheels Are On
October 14, 2022
Our 1905 Riley 9HP looks very different to how it looked when it first arrived at the Bridge Classic Cars workshop.
Working from photos, drawings, and a whole lot of skill, our classic car technicians have been making progress on the restoration of this ultra-rare car.
Recently, the wheels have been attached to our 9HP making it look just a little bit more car-like. While there is still a long way to go before it can be driven out of the workshop, the addition of the wheels certainly does a good job of showing how far things have come with this classic car.
Behind The Scenes – 1981 Volkswagen Scirocco Storm
October 14, 2022
Our 1981 Volkswagen Scirocco Storm is currently available to win in our latest Bridge Classic Cars Competitions. If you head over to the competitions website, you will see that there is a video, presented by Molly, and several photos showing this classic car in all its glory.
What you won’t see though, is the hard work and the creativity that goes into making the video and getting the best photos of the car.
The photos below will give you just a little insight into what happens behind the scenes of these classic car shoots.
The team always have fun (driving classic cars around an old air base is always exciting), and do their very best to show every aspect of the cars being offered in our competitions.
The final video and photos can be seen here.
New Door Panels
October 14, 2022
Our 1966 Ford Cortina GT 1500 may have only been in the workshop for a day or two but Brian has already given it some attention by replacing the door panels.
It’s jobs like this that can make a big difference to the overall look and finish of a car. Our Cortina is in great shape as it is, but with the old door panels removed and new ones fitted, it’s now looking even better than before.
