Today, Bridge Classic Cars are at the Imperial War Museum, Duxford attending the latest H and H auction. There is a wide range of vehicles available and we are always excited to see which ones catch our eye.
One of the cars being auctioned is our 1934 Riley 9 Lynx so we are particularly excited about that.
The Imperial War Museum is an impressive venue to see all of these beautiful classic cars.
We are on the lookout for some competition cars for Bridge Classic Cars Competitions so, maybe your next car is in one of our pictures below.
Small Touches Making All The Difference
October 19, 2022
Classic Car Technician Mauro has been continuing to put our 1987 Volvo 240GL back together.
He has put the newly repaired and painted mud flaps back on, which are looking great.
Mauro also put the Volvo and the 240GL badges on as well as applying the appropriate warning sticker under the bonnet.
This classic car is really starting to come together and it likely won’t be too long until it is back out on the road giving its owner many more enjoyable driving miles.

Interior Work On Our 1954 Bristol 405
October 19, 2022
Lydia has once again been busy working on some of the interior components of our 1954 Bristol 405.
This time, her attention turned to the front seat base faces.
Lydia first made a vinyl draft so she was able to check the sizing of the flutes. She then went on to mark out the leather and calico backing before drawing guidelines which she will follow when sewing the flute lines.
A Covered Glovebox Door
October 19, 2022
Our 1979 Arrow Ferrari Daytona continues to make progress through its restoration journey.
Recently, Lydia has been working on covering the glovebox door that Scott had made previously. She did this by making a paper pattern before sewing a vinyl template to check the sizing was correct.
Lydia went on to make the cover out of striped alcantara so it matched the rest of the dash. She sewed this together before glueing, cutting, and shaping it to fit around the front of the door.
The underside of the glovebox door was then covered with black vinyl before it was screwed back into place.
An Electric Rolls Royce Is Coming
October 19, 2022
A big name is entering the world of electric vehicles, with Rolls-Royce saying that delivery of the all-electric Spectre will begin towards the end of 2023.
Don’t be fooled into thinking this is a lightweight, less luxurious Rolls-Royce though. The Spectre has a kerb weight of 2975kg and comes with all the style and luxury we have come to expect from the brand. It’s also 5 metres long and 2 metres wide with 23-inch wheels. This is certainly not the type of car you might imagine as being all-electric.
With Spectre, Rolls-Royce is joining the electric world in an emphatic way. They aren’t just joining to be a small-time player, the brand wants to make an immediate impact. Rolls-Royce says that its entire range of vehicles will be electrified by 2030. If that’s the case, it can certainly be said that they have hit the ground running.
Luxury And Style
When it comes to luxury and style, there is a lot to talk about with Spectre. The doors, for example, are the largest doors on any Rolls-Royce model measuring an impressive 1.5 metres in length. These can be opened with the simple press of a button and provide plenty of room to make a comfortable entrance and exit.
For those who want to add a unique luxury car to their collection, Spectre can be made in the colour Chartreuse. This has never been an exterior option for any previous Rolls-Royce model. The colour is meant to replicate that of the French liquor with the same name.
Inside the car, you have woodwork, leather, illuminated fascia, and the recognisable starlight headliner.
Some Numbers
When it comes to numbers, Rolls-Royce says that the Spectre has a range of 520km (323 miles). It has 10 driver assistance systems, and the highly intelligent onboard system has more than 141 thousand send/receive functions, 25 thousand sub-functions all made possible by 7km of cabling.
In terms of power, it has 576hp, offers 900Nm of torque, and is expected to be able to cover 0-60mph in a little over 4 seconds.
While all this might sound a little much, it perfectly fits with the Rolls-Royce lifestyle of exuberance and total luxury.
Rolls Royce At Bridge Classic Cars
We have worked on some fantastic classic Roll-Royces before (see the below photos). That’s why we know that the Spectre will be an inspiring car to see. It’s safe to say that we are very excited to see it when it gets on the road next year.
