Spotted In North Norfolk

We have recently been sent some fantastic photos of what appears to be the remains of a car that was spotted in a wooded area of North Norfolk.

While it has likely been there too long to identify the make and model from images alone, it’s still always interesting to imagine what the situation was that led to it ending up in this position.

New Wheels For Our E-Type

Some new wheels have arrived for our 1968 Jaguar E-Type Series 1.5. As this is now live on the Bridge Classic Cars Competitions website, it’s great to see this example of one of the most recognisable (and iconic) classic cars move into the finishing stages of its build.

Work Begins On Our Austin Healey 100-6

Our 1957 Austin Healey 100-6 hasn’t long been in the Bridge Classic Cars workshop following its long trip over to us from South Africa.

However, classic car technician Tom has already been hard at work inspecting and assessing the beautiful car in preparation for it to eventually be won through Bridge Classic Cars Competitions.

Taking A Closer Look At Our DB2/4

A 1953 Aston Martin DB2/4 has recently joined our personal collection. While this is exciting enough, this car appears to be extra special, as there are strong indications that this could actually be the 10th example ever built by the renowned British automotive brand.

The 1953 Aston Martin DB2/4 holds a significant place in automotive history, embodying the spirit of craftsmanship and innovation that has defined Aston Martin for generations. This rare car showcases the evolution of automotive engineering in the 1950s, with its distinctive design and pioneering features.

Classic car technician Tom has been taking a closer look at this special DB2/4 to begin the investigation into what plan can be created for its future.

Fixing An Air Con Issue

Classic car technician Steve has been resolving an issue with the air conditioning in our 1973 Jaguar E-Type Roadster Series 3.

After removing the dash, Steve was able to gain access to the a/c wiring and control switches. The fault was traced back to the a/c control variable resistor switch so this was taken apart, the contacts cleaned, and put back together.

Steve tested the air conditioning afterwards and everything was working as it should.

Ready To Be Won

Our 1989 Ford Sierra XR4x4 is live on the Bridge Classic Cars Competitions website.

Finished in striking red with contrasting black trims, our Sierra XR4x4 is fitted with the later 2.9-litre V6 and was earmarked to be one of the first breed of 4-wheel drive super saloons thanks to its 150BHP sent through a Ferguson-developed all-wheel drive gearbox allowing for increased grip and handling.

You can enter the draw to be in with a chance of winning this popular classic now!

The Winner Is…

The lucky winner of two tickets to the Bridge Classic Cars Movie Night at The Riverside Theatre is Tim Osler.

Lily picked Tim, at random, from all of the entrants we received before 8:00 am today.

We would like to thank everyone who entered the competition to be in with a chance of winning free tickets to our first-ever movie night, and congratulations to Tim for being the lucky winner – we look forward to seeing you on the 19th of August.

Tickets are still available for The Bridge Classic Cars Movie Night. More information can be seen here.

A Closer Look At A Pre-War Classic

Our 1926 Clyno has been in the care of classic car technician Steve as he has been inspecting the vehicle to see what work needs to be completed while it is here with us in the Bridge Classic Cars workshop.

Steve noticed that the wire from the nearside rear light is corroded and the offside front shackle grease nipple is missing.

Work will start on resolving these issues, and any others that arise along the way very soon.

Inspecting Our Competition Mini

It has been a very busy time for our 1976 Morris Mini since its recent arrival in the Bridge Classic Cars workshop. Now that filming has been completed after a successful first inspection, classic car technician Jonn took a more detailed look at our newest competition car.

There are some small jobs that need to be completed before the lucky winner of this beautiful classic Mini takes ownership, but Jonn will soon have any issues resolved.

Wheels Painted

After recently being primed, the wheels of our Ford Transit MKII Tipper have been back in the Bridge Classic Cars paintshop with classic car technician Mauro.

He has been painting the wheels in preparation for them to eventually go back onto the restored vehicle when the time is right.

Mauro also painted various other components in DTM satin black.

Our Transit Tipper continues to progress through its restoration journey and this is set to carry on.
