Jaguar MKII
May 18, 2023
We recently welcomed a 1964 Jaguar MKII into the Bridge Classic Cars workshop.
Despite this beautiful classic car not being here very long, our team of classic car technicians resolved several issues that the owner had reported to us. These include the car not starting, changing the auto choke to a manual, and a full health check.
Scott noticed that the oil pressure was showing at just 15psi. After attaching a mechanical oil gauge, the oil pressure reading was much better so Scott traced the issue back to a faulty sensor.
The fuel was drained and Scott cleaned the carbs and flushed the lines before checking over the rest of the car. While doing so, he noticed a snapped spoke on one of the wheels so swapped this out for the spare.
Interior Painting

At the request of the new owner of our 2005 Suzuki Every, classic car technician Al has painted the white interior components black.
The newly painted parts give a crisp and stylish look to the interior of this stunning VW replica.
We hope that the new owner of our Suzuki Every is happy with the finish and enjoys their new camper.
Our Saab Is Live

Our 1980 Saab 99 Turbo is live on the Bridge Classic Cars Competitions website.
After being refurbished by our team of classic car technicians, it retains a lot of its original features and has been refinished in its signature deep black paintwork. The interior is in excellent condition and the lucky winner of this classic Saab will be the owner of one of the first true turbocharged performance cars.
Tickets are available now from the Bridge Classic Cars Competitions website.
Repairs To A Returning Daimler
May 18, 2023
Our 1987 Daimler Double Six recently returned to the Bridge Classic Cars workshop. After leaving us last year, it has come back for our team of technicians to resolve a few issues, including some paint repairs, a door not closing properly, and the steering wheel adjustment not working as it should.
Now that our technicians have rectified these issues, our Daimler will soon leave us again to return to its owner.
Another Frogeye Enters The Workshop
May 18, 2023
When we delivered our 1958 Austin-Healey ‘Frogeye’ Sprite to William Gordon, who had won it through Bridge Classic Cars Competitions, we couldn’t help but notice the Frogeye he already owned parked up in his garage.
The story ended with the Frogeye he won staying with him in Scotland and his former Frogeye coming back to Suffolk with us ready to eventually be offered as a future competition car.
Our (new) 1958 Austin-Healey ‘Frogeye’ Sprite has arrived at the Bridge Classic Cars workshop and will now be inspected by our team of technicians before being prepped ready for its lucky new owner (who will hopefully be found soon).
A Jensen Dash
May 18, 2023
Classic car technician Brian has been working on our 1959 Jensen 541R and has been making parts for the dash of our rare Jensen.
Brian started his work on our 541R by cutting out vinyl for the dash top. He then sanded the dash smooth before filing out the slots for the air vents. The vinyl cover was glued to the dash top and was trimmed to shape as well as having the air vent slots cut out too.
Once the dash top was covered, Brian undid the ends of the dash crash pad so it could be cut down to fit the car. The crash pad was trial-fitted into the car before having its ends re-covered.
A New Tonneau Cover For An AC Ace
May 18, 2023
Our 1958 AC Ace has had a new tonneau cover made by Brian and Lydia.
Brian made paper patterns for the steering wheel cover before cutting out a trial cover from vinyl and trial-fitting it in the car. The tonneau cover had a slot cut out of it where the steering wheel cover will be. The steering wheel cover was then cut out before Brian fitted lift-the-dot fasteners and fitted the cover to the car.
Lydia helped Brian out by sewing the vinyl mock-up of the steering wheel cover.
