Celebrating A Successful 2023
December 22, 2023
After a year of hard work bringing a whole range of classic vehicles back to life, the entire team at Bridge Classic Cars are celebrating our success, and the festive season, as we all head out for our Christmas meal.
Just down the road from the workshop is the Ufford Crown. This is the host of our celebration where the staff there will have the challenge of feeding a team of hungry technicians, marketers, accountants, painters, trimmers, and more.
After spending a few hours together, enjoying some great food (and a few drinks), we will all be heading home to spend Christmas and New Year with our loved ones.
As we close the workshop doors for the last time this year for a well-deserved break, we are looking forward to seeing what 2024 has to bring.

Our good friends at Iconic Auctioneers have recently announced that they have regained their status as the foremost leaders in the UK car auction market. They have achieved this by completing £36 million in car sales, setting 18 auction world records, and maintaining a sales rate of 70%.
Rob Hubbard, Managing Director of Iconic Auctioneers said:
“Naturally we are delighted with this early Christmas present. It is a great tribute to the whole team who have worked so hard to make this market leadership position a reality. It comes after a number of strong years where we have steadily closed the gap on our competitors.
The result is also due to strong marketing, a rebrand from Silverstone Auctions to Iconic Auctioneers and a vastly increased international reach thanks to our media profile. Today we have a presence on five continents. Our bidders are a truly global group. And our client service is in a class of its own.”
This achievement owes itself to robust marketing strategies, a rebranding from Silverstone Auctions to Iconic Auctioneers, and a substantially expanded global presence through heightened media visibility. Presently, our reach extends across five continents, drawing in bidders from around the world. Our unparalleled client service sets us apart.”
Congratulations to Iconic Auctioneers!
The End Of 2023
December 22, 2023
At the end of each year, the workshop undergoes a deep clean to ensure that it is a pristine environment for more classics to be restored in next year.
The workshop team have spent the last 2 days cleaning every inch of the workshop floors, walls, rails, tools, ramps, and anything else that you can think of. This includes the trim shop and paint shop too!
As we come towards the end of our last working day of the year, the Bridge Classic Cars workshop is looking incredible and is getting ready to welcome even more classic vehicles in January.
Final Stripping of DB2/4
December 22, 2023
The last sections of our 1953 Aston Martin DB2/4 have been removed, the radiators and other engine ancillaries, the engine and gearbox removed, then the chassis and bulkhead were completely stripped of suspension, steering and brake components, along with wiring loom and pipes/fittings.
The chassis can now go off to be stripped and checked before painting and reassembly in the new year.
