Another new addition to the Bridge Classic Cars workshop is our 1955 MG TF 1500.
There can be no denying that this is a beautiful classic car and one that highlights just how iconic the MG marque really is. While it is with us, our team of technicians will be investigating and resolving a few issues the car is suffering from.
These include investigating why it won’t start, carrying out a major service, and reporting any findings back to the owner to work out a plan of action for its future.
MG Cyberster – The First All-Electric Roadster
May 30, 2023
MG hosted a special preview event where the brand showed off a pre-production design model of its brand-new all-electric roadster – The Cyberster. With a release expected in the summer of 2024, a new chapter in the MG story is being written as the iconic manufacturer returns to its roots with this exciting new sports car.
The Cyberster made its debut at the event held at the MG Motor UK headquarters in Marylebone, London. It was there that advanced design director, Carl Gotham and team – who played a key role in creating the Cyberster – introduced the model for the first time.
Carl said “It is a special moment for all of us who have played a part in designing this unique car. The Cyberster will offer MG customers a striking, all-electric roadster which will be as exciting as MG sports cars of the past.”
To mark the upcoming release of the Cyberster, MG has released a film which helps tell the story of the work that went into designing and creating a sports car that is set to be the very first all-electric roadster on the market.
Inspired by MGs heritage, the Cyberster has the distinctive long bonnet, a low nose, and plenty of curves. In addition to the recognisable features that indicate the car’s MG lineage, new features such as scissor doors and a Kammback rear design bring a classic design into a stylish new future.
The creation of the Cyberster marks MG’s return to sports car production. Not only does the Cyberster do this in attention-grabbing fashion, but it also brings the MG story right up to date and allows for another generation of drivers to enjoy this iconic British brand.
Aston Electrics
May 30, 2023
Workshop Manager John has been working on the electrics of our 1955 Aston Martin DB2/4.
He has been checking all of the wiring and switches to make sure everything is working as it should. As it stands, only the wipers are working but John will no doubt get everything up and running very soon.
Once John has completed his work, all the switches will be in the same position when on/off and the issue of no power going to the dash will be resolved too.
Panels And Polishing

After being painted in the Bridge Classic Cars paintshop, Chris has been putting all panels back onto our 1964 Daimler 250 V8 and polishing it to finish its repaint.
Now that it has been painted, it will go on to be put back together before moving on to the next stage of its restoration.
MOT Prep
May 30, 2023
Our 1971 MGB Convertible has been with classic car technician Jonn, ready to get it prepared to go through an MOT.
As this beautiful classic car had been off the road for quite some time, it came into the Bridge Classic Cars workshop for our team of technicians to get it back into road-worthy condition. Now that the work has been completed, and the car is ready to go back to its owner, it has gone through one final check to make sure it can pass its MOT.
The offside rear wheel bearing was adjusted ready for a new split pin and wheel to be fitted.
Fixing A Faulty Horn
May 30, 2023
Classic car technician Jonn has been working on our 1980 MGB GT in preparation for it to go live on the Bridge Classic Cars Competitions website.
After being painted and then put back together, Jonn was checking the car over when he discovered that the horn was not working. During his investigation, Jonn traced the fault back to a broken wire at the horn connection inside the switch.
Once this was repaired, the horn worked as it should and our MGB GT is one step closer to being won in the very near future.
Monaco Grand Prix 2023
May 30, 2023
Bridge Classic Cars Director, Gordon, has been spending some time in France lately in order to attend the Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix.
Our good friend, Jack, was also at the event; between them, they shared some incredible photos and videos of the race.
The Monaco Grand Prix is considered one of the most challenging of the racing calendar. The iconic street circuit includes narrow lanes, sharp turns, and unforgiving barriers that can make a seemingly small error have potentially catastrophic consequences.
From Gordon making his arrival by sea to the impressive view that Jack had, the weekend looked to be a fantastic experience for all in attendance.

We have welcomed yet another new arrival to the Bridge Classic Cars workshop in the form of our 1988 Mercedes 420SL.
While it is with us, our team of technicians will be looking to repair some of the interior trim as well as looking at some other areas that may require attention.
Welcome To Our Austin Healey 3000
May 30, 2023
A new addition to the Bridge Classic Cars workshop is our 1967 Austin Healey 3000. We collected this beautiful classic car from its owner who happens to live locally to us.
While it is with us, our team of classic car technicians will inspect and assess the car after it has been off the road for several months. We will prepare it to get back out on the road ready for its owner to enjoy it over the summer months.
The collection process has already highlighted that several components had seized after being in storage but, we are looking forward to getting our Austin Healey 3000 back in driving condition.
