A Look Back On Our 1999 Rover BRM
November 15, 2022
Our 1999 Rover BRM may have only been with us for a few months but it has come a long way since its arrival at the Bridge Classic Cars workshop.
Rust was an issue for this car. Our team of classic car technicians worked hard to find all of the affected areas and resolve them appropriately. Once the rust was a thing of the past, the car went into our paint and was primed and ultimately painted.
We were fortunate enough to locate an original set of Rover BRM wheels that have been refurbished and fitted onto the car.
The difference in having the original wheels back on our BRM was massive and certainly goes a long way in making this car one that stands out.
In addition to the refurbished wheels being fitted, our 1999 Rover BRM has also been thoroughly cleaned and new badges have been applied. As you can see from the photos below, our BRM is looking incredible and will be a fantastic car for our collection.
A Visit From Ed Stafford
November 15, 2022
We were lucky enough to welcome explorer and adventurer Ed Stafford to Bridge Classic Cars recently.
While he was here, Ed had a tour of the workshop, he spoke to some of the team about the work they do and some of the classic cars they have been working on, and he was also involved in one of our new projects which is coming very soon.
Everyone here really enjoyed Ed’s visit. He had lots of interesting stories to share, not only about his adventures, tv shows, and upcoming projects, but also about his 2015 Land Rover Defender 110 that was recently stolen and stripped.
Ed is currently working on rebuilding his Defender and, as there is still some cosmetic work to go, we hope to be able to help him out with this in the very near future.
We hope that Ed will be a regular face in the Bridge Classic Cars workshop and we look forward to welcoming him back in the new year.
Panel Levelling Complete
November 15, 2022
Our 1986 Daimler DS420 has been undergoing panel levelling with classic car technician Chris. Once this was completed, the car began its prep work ready to be painted in the near future.
Some panels of this large classic car have already begun to be painted.
From the photos of the prepped and painted panels below, you can see that the car will look very impressive once the whole vehicle is finished in the paint shop.
Our 1986 Daimler DS420 is a large American classic car that continues to keep our team of classic car technicians busy.
Work will carry on as the restoration of this impressive car continues.
New Panels And Looking More Like A Car
November 15, 2022
Our 1975 Jensen Interceptor MK3 continues to make good progress and is beginning to look much more like a car now than it has in recent times.
Classic car technicians Monty and Christian have been hard at work fitting new panels to this impressive classic car. After removing a fairly large portion of the old panels, they got to work fabricating parts and making sure everything was measuring up exactly as it should.
It wasn’t too long ago that some new body panels arrived for our MK3 Interceptor. Once these were paired with the parts made by Monty and Christian, the new panels were fitted to the car.
With the new panels fitted, our 1975 Jensen Interceptor MK3 is looking much more car-like and you can really start to see how cool it will look when work is complete.
There may still be quite a way to go before it drives out of the workshop and back onto the road, but our Interceptor has already come a long way and our team of classic car technicians will continue their work on it until it is ready to impress everyone who sees it driving in the future.
Lots Of Welding
November 15, 2022
Classic car technician Rob has continued his work on our 1959 Jensen 541R. Following the return of the doors from the sandblasters, Rob has been able to make some good progress with the restoration of this rare classic car.
His attention was first placed on the rear wheel arch filler panels. These were made and welded in place. Rob went on to weld the A and B posts too before adjusting and fitting the left-hand sill and panels.
The welding continued with the battery cradle being welded in along with the left-hand inner C panel being welded in as well.
Rob’s attention then turned to the doors of our 541R. Unfortunately, there were areas of corrosion which needed to be cut out and removed. Fortunately, though, Rob has the experience and the skillset required to make new panels and weld these in.
With less than 200 of these beautiful cars being made, the restoration work that is done here at Bridge Classic Cars by our highly skilled technicians, like Rob, is extremely important. As so few of these classic cars were made in the first place, having one less in the world is never a good thing.
Work will continue on our 1959 Jensen 541R and it will continue to make progress back to its former glory before eventually driving out of our workshop and back onto the road.
Something Exciting Is Coming…
November 15, 2022
At Bridge Classic Cars we like to be creative, innovative, forward-thinking, and we do our best to bring a modern take to the world of classic cars.
Part of that involves developing new ideas and making the most out of our facilities.
With that in mind, there is something new and very exciting coming to Bridge Classic Cars. Work has begun and will continue over the coming weeks ready for our new idea to come to life. Once work is complete, it will open up the classic car community to even more people.
From classic car clubs to independent enthusiasts and everyone in between. We have big plans and everyone will be welcome!
In the meantime, the photos below show some of the progress being made in our very exciting new project.
More Repair Work
November 15, 2022
Our 1980 Saab 99 Turbo began its restoration journey with us earlier this year. Since then it has been stripped and had a good amount of its interior components removed too.
With the headliner, C pillar caps and some of the boot panels being retrimmed by our classic car technicians, progress has been made.
We recently called on our friends at Motts Body Repair Specialists to lend a hand with this classic Saab. They were kind enough to repair the boot area of the car.
As you can see from the photos below, the team at Motts did a fantastic job and our 1980 Saab 99 Turbo continues to make progress through its restoration.
