Just Arrived – 1977 Triumph Spitfire

There’s nothing quite like an eye-catching classic car arriving at the Bridge Classic Cars workshop. Our 1977 Triumph Spitfire certainly fits the bill to be an attention-grabbing vehicle.

Not only does it stand out in its yellow colour, but it’s also a beautiful-looking classic car.

It has come in for our classic car technicians to investigate some running issues so hopefully, it won’t be too long before it is back out on the road where it belongs.

A New Exhaust Fitted

A new stainless steel exhaust has been fitted to our 1972 Jaguar E-Type V12 Series 3 by classic car technician Paul.

While Paul was working on this classic car, he also removed the centre console to gain access to the gear selection illumination. He needed to do this in order to fit a new bulb which was required.

Looking Back On A Long Journey

It hasn’t been long since we saw the arrival of our 1976 Aston Martin AMV8. Now that it’s been in the workshop for a few days, we have been looking back on its long journey from America to the Bridge Classic Cars workshop in Suffolk.

The photos below show its arrival at Felixstowe docks ready to begin the last leg of its journey to us.

Even sitting at the docks like this, you can see how nice this classic car is and we are very excited to see it once its been through its restoration journey.

More Progress On Our 1905 Riley 9HP

Classic car technician Dave has been continuing work on our 1905 Riley 9HP.

He has recently added the wheel hub nuts and the nut locking ring. As work continues on this truly classic car, it has already come a long way since it first arrived at the Bridge Classic Cars workshop.

With quite a bit of work still to do though, the whole team here are excited to see this car back in its original state and ready to head outside for its first drive in a long time.
