Nigel Woodhouse of Simply Swing came in to see Lily today to chat about upcoming events. He arrived in style in his ’49 Chrysler, chrome polished to perfection.
Lily and Nigel have begun planning events for over the summer where vintage music and swing dancing can be incorporated. Having something for everyone at our big events will make them even more enjoyable and really add to the vintage vibe.
Dodge DA Repairs
May 5, 2023
Now that our 1929 Dodge DA has been registered with the DVLA and is ready to be used on UK roads, classic car technician Brian has been completing some repairs on the interior of this impressive classic car.
The first area of Brian’s focus was the damaged front seat cover. Once this was repaired, Brian fitted fasteners to the rear side section of the hood and frame.
Our 1929 Dodge DA is currently up for sale so, if you are interested in this Dodge Brothers classic, please get in touch.

Classic car technician Brian has been making and putting together the interior of our 1929 Riley 9 Tourer.
After drilling and fitting screws to the driver’s side panel, Brian made and fitted the supports to fit between the wood beams of the car. The back of the passenger side panels were painted and the driver’s side panel was cut into two sections to make removing it easier.
Brian went on to mark and cut out foam for the panels and glued it to the front faces. The edges were trimmed and the leather for the panels was also cut out. Once the leather was glued onto the panels, Brian removed the floor panels to trim and paint the edges.
The panels were fitted into the car and adjustments were made as necessary to ensure they fit perfectly. Once the rear squab seat had been trial fitted, Brian moved on to removing the front floor panel so the handbrake could be put back in. This was fitted before the floor panel was re-installed and the seat brackets were put back into the car too.
Restoring A Transit
May 5, 2023
A Ford Transit MKII Tipper recently arrived at the Bridge Classic Cars workshop. It has come to us from Jacobs Construction and it will be undergoing a total restoration to bring the vehicle back to as new condition and specifications.
As you can see from the photos below, there is a long way to go before our Transit is back up and running, but, now that work has begun, we are looking forward to seeing it progress through its restoration journey.
