Waiting For Its New Owner
March 22, 2023
Our 1974 Triumph Stag has been successfully delivered to the NEC in Birmingham ready for the Practical Classics Classic Car & Restoration Show Sale this weekend (25th and 26th March).
Classic Car Auctions will be hosting the auction and there are plenty of incredible vehicles available alongside our stunning Stag.
If you are interested in becoming the new owner of a 1974 Triumph Stag, then full details about it and the auction can be seen here.
Classic Car Auctions describe the car as “a handsome Sapphire Blue ‘Late Mk II’ Triumph Stag that has led a sheltered life for the last ten years” and “an attractively presented example of Triumph’s innovative design.”
We are looking forward to seeing our 1974 Triumph Stag go to a new home where it can be enjoyed by a new owner.
The Ford Capri Is Coming Back!
March 22, 2023
The Ford Capri is making a return to the world of motoring and is expected to go on sale next year. However, things will be a bit different to the Capris of old, as the new Ford Capri will be electric!
With a price tag of around £40,000, the electric Capri is reportedly going to produce 300bhp, have a range of 310 miles when fully charged, and accelerate from 0-60mph in a little over 6 seconds. Despite being electric, there will still be plenty of recognisable features to be seen such as the traditional four headlights. To help make the Capri practical in the modern world, an interior touch screen and wireless phone charger will also be added.
The original Ford Capri was extremely well-received and sold 400,000 units within 2 years of its launch before going on to sell more than 1.8 million units up until production was stopped at the end of 1986. After being introduced at the Brussels Motor Show in 1969, the MK1 was known for its spotlights, Rostyle wheels, and bulging bonnet. Back then, a Capri would cost you less than £1000 for an entry-level model.
The Capri has been seen and loved at car shows all over the world and celebrated its 50th birthday at the Silverstone Classic in 2019. With several celebrity Capri owners, some of these classics have been sold for more than £70,000 in recent years.
In addition to its popularity on the road, the Ford Capri also experienced success on the race track with multiple touring car championship titles to its name.
Ford confirmed that it plans to launch seven new electric vehicles by 2024 so we might be seeing more iconic classic Fords make a return of sorts in the next 12 months (including an electric Transit Van) so the Capri might still be joined by some of its former road mates very soon.
New Shocks For Our Suzuki
March 22, 2023
The new shocks for our 1984 Suzuki GSX 400T have finally arrived!
To make them fit as they need to, a new upper mount will need to be made on the drive side. The stub to the collar on the frame will need grinding off so it can be drilled out and a new one welded in. On the other side of the bike, a spacer and dome note should be all that is needed.
2 Classics Go Home
March 22, 2023
Our 1986 Daimler DS420 and our 1970 Bristol 411 have left the Bridge Classic Cars workshop and are now on their way back to their owner in the Netherlands.
Both cars have been completely transformed from how they looked when they first arrived with us and we are very excited to see them be reunited with their owner. The 1970 Bristol 411 was a right-hand drive vehicle before our team of classic car technicians converted it to a left-hand drive. Once converted it was rebuilt and eventually turned into the beautiful classic car you can see in the images below.
The 1986 Daimler DS420 originated in America before being brought to us. Since being in the workshop, its colour has changed from white to blue and various other issues have been resolved to get the car into the condition it leaves us in.
After a lot of time and effort, it is always great to see restored cars leaving the Bridge Classic Cars workshop and being returned to their owners.
We hope our customer enjoys their restored classics and we look forward to seeing them being driven on the roads in the Netherlands.
Restoring A Spitfire
March 22, 2023
Another classic car will soon be arriving at the Bridge Classic Cars workshop. Our 1976 Triumph Spitfire 1500 is coming to us for a full restoration.
This will be the 4th concours restoration for one of our customers. We will be working closely with them over the coming weeks and months to determine the final specifications of the registration. However, one thing that has already been confirmed is that it will stay as a left-hand drive vehicle. As it will be heading off to France once it leaves us, the current configuration is ideal.
We are looking forward to work beginning on our 1976 Triumph Spitfire very soon and we are sure it will look incredible once the restoration is complete.
