Painting By Numbers
June 5, 2023
After our 1964 Daimler 250 V8 was re-painted and polished, classic car technician Chris painted the number plates and the number plate backing to make sure the car looks as good as possible for when it gets returned to its owner in the near future.
When you have a classic car, these seemingly small paint jobs can go a long way in keeping your car in pristine condition so you, and everyone who sees it, can enjoy it as it deserves to be.
Goodbye To Two Team Members
June 5, 2023
We recently said goodbye to two of the Bridge Classic Cars team, Lydia and Scott. They joined us as a couple and they left us as a couple too.
Lydia has done some incredible work in our trim shop and we are sure that she will continue to put her skills to good use in the future.
Scott has played a huge role in the restoration of several classic cars during his team here and we are sure that many more cars will be the focus of his attention over the next few years.
Everyone here at Bridge Classic Cars would like to wish Scott and Lydia all the best and we hope to see you both again.
Thank you for all your hard work!
Finishing A Paint Job

Finishing A Competition Car
June 5, 2023
While our 1971 Ford Escort RS Mexico Recreation is being prepared for delivery to its new owner who was lucky enough to win this stunning classic car through Bridge Classic Cars Competitions, Jonn has been fitting new wheel bearings and alloy hubs.
As Jonn was working on our Mexico Recreation, he noticed that the offside caliper touched the disc. He had to grind this away so it now misses the disc.
Now everything is reassembled, Jonn is just waiting for new wheel studs to arrive to finish off this competition car and finally get it delivered to its new home.
Ready For Competition
June 5, 2023
Our 1980 MGB GT will soon be available to win through Bridge Classic Cars Competitions. However, before that happens, classic car technician Jonn has been making some repairs and improvements to this eye-catching classic car.
A new wing mirror base plate was fitted and the mirror secured in place. Jonn also fitted a new horn/indicator stalk.
The paintwork where the radiator mounts was cleaned and the fan guard was removed for painting. Once this was painted, it was re-fitted and now looks much improved.
A New Start
June 5, 2023
Classic car technician Jonn has been working on our 1963 MGB Roadster by fitting a new starter to try and resolve the starting issues the car has been experiencing.
When Jonn was trying to remove the old starter, he was unable to remove it from the engine bay as it was too big to come out without first grinding through the starter shaft. After Jonn had done this, the old starter was removed and a new one was fitted. The new starter was much smaller than the original and fitted with ease into our classic MGB.

After being won back in December, Nick Jones enjoyed this special car for around 6 months before the time came for him to let it go. Once we heard this news, we felt that we had no choice but to buy the car back and offer you one more chance of winning it for yourself.

Engine And Lights
June 5, 2023
Our 1971 MGB Convertible has been the focus of classic car technicians John and Jonn recently as they have been fitting a new alternator and completing other work on the car too.
New headlights were fitted to our MGB Convertible. Before this was done though, the ring surrounds were cleaned and polished. After the new lights were fitted, the beam patterns were adjusted and the chrome surrounds were re-fitted.
Dash Repairs
June 5, 2023
Classic car technician Brian has been working on the latest car available to win through Bridge Classic Cars Competitions, our 1963 Reliant Scimitar GTE. Brian made and replaced the dash top cover, ensuring that this classic car’s interior looks as good as possible for the lucky winner who is soon-to-be-found.
Brian started by making a paper pattern for the cover before using this to cut the cover out of vinyl.
The dash top was sanded smooth in preparation for glueing and was masked up. The back edge of the new cover was glued in place first followed by the top edge. Brian then folded the vinyl around the front edge and trimmed the excess material off.
Now that the new dash top cover is fitted, our Reliant Scimitar is ready to be won on Tuesday, 6th June.
