Investigating Running Issues
October 26, 2022
Our 1977 Triumph Spitfire came into the workshop for the team to investigate some running issues it was experiencing. Classic car technician Jon has begun looking into these issues and already found and rectified some of them.
The first thing Jon did was to charge the flat battery. He then removed and regapped the spark plugs. While doing this he found that the gap on 2 of the spark plugs was closed completely which could be a cause of some of the running issues.
Jon went on to remove and check the carb too.
The video below shows Jon making sure the static timing is aligned and that the rotary arm is pointing to cylinder 1 as it should. The video also shows the advance moving in the distributor when the vacuum is applied.
Putting Things Back Together

Now that the chassis of our 1959 Jensen 541R is back in the workshop, classic car technician Rob has started the process of putting everything back together again.
This will obviously take some time and it will require a huge amount of patience and skill. Fortunately, our classic car technicians have both of these so good progress is being made.
As you can see from the photos below, Rob has fitted the sills back onto the car and he has refitted and welded the bulkhead onto it too.
New Hardboard Panels And Badges Refurbished
October 26, 2022
The interior trim of our 1978 MGB GT has had new hardboard panels made. The finish of the new panels goes a long way in making this classic car look refined and very appealing.
The badges of the car have also been undergoing refurbishment.
Seemingly small tasks like this do a great job of bringing a restored classic car back to its original state so they are very important.
Our 1978 MGB GT continues to make good progress and we are very excited to see it back out on the road in the near future.
A Special Car Returns
October 26, 2022
A little over a year ago, we said goodbye to our 1972 Chevron B20. Everyone here at Bridge Classic Cars loved this formula 2 car and, although we were happy it was going to a new owner, there was still quite a bit of sadness to see this very special car leave us.
However, today we are all very happy to see it back in our workshop!
Yesterday, we collected the car and transported it back to the workshop here in Suffolk. We were excited just seeing the B20 on our trailer making its journey to us, so you can imagine how excited we have been to actually have it back with us in person.
It has come back to us to be prepared for export as its adventure is set to continue overseas. Our classic car technicians will soon get to work on this very special car and we will certainly enjoy looking after it until the time comes for it to move on once more.
Body Shaping Begins

Classic car technician Chris recently started the body shaping process on our 1986 Daimler DS420.
Quite a bit of restoration work has already been completed on this classic car and things certainly aren’t slowing down as progress continues to be made.
