The East Anglian Daily Times recently published a list of the 5 major shows and events running in Suffolk in January 2023.
The Bridge Classic Cars New Year’s Car Rally was included in this list which we are very excited about.
Our rally was a great success and we had a lot of fun spending time with everyone who took part.
The full article can be read here.
Our friends at Wyatt Polishing recently completed some restoration work and zinc plating for a number of seat runners and bonnet struts for the Jensens currently in the Bridge Classic Cars workshop.
When components like this look as good as they now do, you can tell that the fully restored cars they become a part of will be as beautiful as ever.
The White Lady is a very special car. It was the first-ever car made by the Jensen brothers all the way back in 1935.
The owner of The White Lady and friend of Bridge Classic Cars, Joerg, recently had the original number plates of this impressive car refurbished by Tippers Classic & Vintage Plates.
It is great to see the original components of this beautiful car restored and bought back to life for future generations to enjoy.
The White Lady will always be a stunning car and, with the addition of the restored number plates, she will look better than ever.
You can now enter the draw to win our 1975 MGB GT V8.
This beautiful classic car is 1 of only 30 finished with the rare Bracken bodywork and Autumn Leaf trim.
There is extensive paperwork and history that comes with this car and it is a fantastic example of how good these classic British sports cars can be.
If you want to win our 1975 MGB GT V8, you can enter now on the Bridge Classic Cars Competitions website.
Progress continues to be made in The Atelier at Bridge Classic Cars.
We recently opened our bar for the very first time at our festive live draw in December and we are soon to be installing a brand new coffee machine too!
The bar recently got a bit of an upgrade and, as you can see from the photos below, it is looking better than ever.
The Atelier at Bridge Classic Cars will be the hub of the majority of our events throughout 2023 and beyond. Having a bar area and the facilities to host events to help bring more people together is very important to us and we hope you will all get to have a drink with us very soon.
If you want to keep up to date with our upcoming events, head over to our events page for all the details.
On Sunday, August 20th, the Porsche East show is taking place at Rickinghall Village Green.
There will be food and drink available to all in attendance as well as giving you the opportunity to admire some very nice cars too.
As it is Porsche’s 75th anniversary, the event will be focussing on classic cars and Porsche’s heritage.
Members of the Bridge Classic Cars team will be in attendance so we hope to see you there!
For more information about this event, please contact the Porsche Club directly via r12@porscheclubgb.com
Classic car technician John has once again been working on our 1971 Jensen FF MKII.
He stripped and removed the tachometer and clock from the car as the tachometer needs to be converted to electronic ignition and the clock needs to be repaired.
John went on to polish the chrome window trims at the rear of the vehicle as this was something the customer had requested.
An investigation was needed into why the fuel flap was not opening via the switch on the dash. John was able to trace the fault back to a sticky solenoid which he freed off, tested, and reassembled.
John has spent a lot of time with our 1971 Jensen FF MKII lately but, with good progress being made, his time, effort, and skill have been put to good use.
I have spread the word about your company and lots of my friends are now buying tickets.
I love the car, it drives beautiful.
Thanks again.
We are very excited that our 2015 Land Rover Defender 110 is on its way to us.
This Defender was recently stolen and stripped of a lot of its components. Its owner has been working hard to put it back together and we will help with this when it arrives here at the Bridge Classic Cars workshop.
It’s likely that you might even recognise the vehicle and its owner too!
Obviously, everyone here at Bridge Classic Cars has a passion for classic cars. However, we love finding interesting vehicles of all varieties and, recently, we found another.
On our travels, we got to experience Bassenthwaite Lake Station. This is a cafe in a restored railway station on the former Cockermouth to Keswick line. What we were most interested in was the full-size replica steam train that looks incredible.
Bassenthwaite Lake Station is situated opposite the scenic Dubwath Silver Meadows nature reserve and is in a beautiful part of the country.
As you can see from the photos below, it is certainly well worth a visit if you share our love of classic and interesting vehicles.
Our 1978 MGB GT is getting even closer to leaving the Bridge Classic Cars workshop.
Classic car technician Brian has been busy making and fitting a new sunroof for this eye-catching classic car. Brian started by fitting the wood sections to the metal brackets that surround the sunroof opening. He then laid the frame bars onto the old cover to see where they were positioned.
He went on to fit the wood and brackets around the sunroof opening before trial-fitting the roof bars to check everything was the perfect fit.
Brian riveted the roof cables to the front rail before fitting the lock and handle too. The front rail was also trial-fitted so Brian could make sure that it locked into position.
The rubber handle was fitted to the underside of the lock handle before Brian turned his attention to a new headliner board.
He made a new pattern for this and then cut out the new sunroof headliner, glueing the edges ready to be sewn. The frame bars were then laid onto the sewn headliner and the front wood trim was glued into place.
Wood trim and a chrome surround for the handle were installed before Brian fitted the roof bars in place and glued the headliner flaps around the bars. The sunroof cover was then cut out ready to have its edges sewn.
The front rail was then glued to the hood material and fitting straps were fitted to the sides of the material to hold the frame in place. The cover was glued to the frame and the corners were trimmed before the cover was fitted to the car.
The sunroof was bolted to the car before being sealed with mastic.
The headliner could then be glued and stapled in place while the new headliner board was marked out. The headliner board was cut out and had holes drilled in it for the clips to be fitted. This was then trial-fitted before being covered.
With the addition of the sunroof, our 1978 MGB GT is looking great and will very likely soon be leaving the workshop to be reunited with its owner.
On Thursday 22nd December 2022, Bridge Classic Cars hosted our festive live draw from The Atelier.
During the event, lucky winners were found for our 2005 Aston Martin DB9, our 1985 Ferrari Mondial, and our REC Tourer Watch and there was live music from The Three Chordettes (featuring our very own Molly).
The event also saw the opening of our new bar where mulled wine, beer, and mince pies were available to all those in attendance.
Everyone here at Bridge Classic Cars had a great time at our festive live draw and, as you can see from the photos below taken by Tilt Shift Creative, the night was a great success.
We will be hosting more events throughout 2023 from The Atelier at Bridge Classic Cars so make sure you keep an eye on our events page to stay up to date with what we are planning.
