Entry Is Open – 1987 Porsche 928 Series 4

Tickets are now available for our 1987 Porsche 928 Series 4.

This is a fantastic example of the transaxle grand tourer that offered a more usable and practical version of the Porsche 911. Finished in Grand-Prix white with a black leather-trimmed interior, our 928 has a 5-litre V8 that generates 320bhp.

If you have always wanted your very own Porsche, then this is your chance to win our 1987 Porsche 928 Series 4.

All the information you need can be found on the Bridge Classic Cars Competitions website.

Another New Arrival

Our 1969 Morgan 4/4 1600 has just arrived at the Bridge Classic Cars workshop. It comes from just 2 previous owners and has covered a little under 88,000 miles.

Back in 1988, it was subject to an extensive restoration which included a new chassis. The engine was overhauled in 1999. Since then, this stunning Morgan has had new woodwork, new wings, and a repaint. Its 1600cc Kent engine and 4-speed transmission keep our Morgan 4/4 driving smoothly on the road even after all of these years.

We are looking forward to seeing our 1969 Morgan 4/4 1600 eventually leave the workshop and get back out on the road where it belongs.

A Lotus Elise Arrives

A very special Lotus Elise has recently arrived at the Bridge Classic Cars workshop. Our 1998 Lotus Elise S1 comes from only one previous owner and has covered a little over 11,000 miles in its life.

If one previous owner wasn’t special enough, the one person who has owned this stunning car was Jeff Ward. Jeff was a longstanding member of the 750 Motor Club and was involved in motor racing for many years. He started racing in an Austin 7 before moving on to a 750 formula car (that he built himself) and then on to a Chevron.

Jeff was a founder of the London Special Builders Group and author of The Special Builders Guide and helped many racers progress up the motorsport ladder. Jeff ran a business making trailer lighting boards which were used by the AA and RAC – this certainly helped fund his car and bike collection.

Following Jeff’s sad passing in 2022, we are fortunate enough to take ownership of our 1998 Lotus Elise S1. It looks to be in great condition and we are very much looking forward to seeing what the future holds for this special Elise.

Work Begins On A New Arrival

Our 1937 Vauxhall 25 Wingham Cabriolet recently arrived in the Bridge Classic Cars workshop, and work has already begun on this rare but extremely eye-catching classic car.

Since it’s been in the workshop, classic car technician Mauro has been painting the underside of our Wingham as well as fitting a new exhaust system.

As well as Mauro’s work on our classic Vauxhall, Brian has been working on the boot shelf. Brian also made paper patterns for the boot floor carpet. He then moved on to making the patterns for the corner covers for the bonnet.

Brian removed the old seals on the A post-panels ready for new ones to be made. He made the new seals from vinyl and clear tubing. He glued the vinyl around the tube before stapling them to the A post-panels.

After cutting out the bonnet protection covers, Brian trial-fitted these before cutting them out of leather.

Carpet was fitted to the boot shelf and boot floor before work started on the window seals. After undoing the side window seal panels, Brian added plywood to the top section of the panel to make it thicker before recovering the side window panels.
