New Arrival – 1970 MGB Roadster

We recently welcomed this beautiful 1970 MGB Roadster into our Suffolk HQ for our trim team to take a look at the hood of this classic drop-top sports car.

Our trimmer Lydia will work here magic on soft-top of the car.

New Arrival – 1994 Toyota Land Cruiser

We’ve recently welcomed one of the most capable off-roaders into our Suffolk workshops – a 1994 Toyota Land Cruiser.

This has come in for our trusted engine specialists to take a look at the truck for a couple of issues raised by the owner.

Keep a look out on the Bridge Classic Cars news page for more updates on our 1994 Toyota Land Cruiser.

A Familiar Face Returns

Former competition car, our 1975 MGB GT V8 has returned to Bridge Classic Cars.

However, rather than returning to the workshop, it has actually gone into our brand-new secure storage facility.

Tony collected the car and it is now safe and secure surrounded by other stunning classics.

New Arrival – 1992 Rover ‘Italian Job’ Mini

Recently we welcomed back an old friend to our Pettistree workshops, our old 1992 Rover ‘Italian Job’ Mini.

This car, played a part in the very early history of Bridge Classic Cars before going off to live its own life out there within the UK Mini community. Now, it has found its way back to us!

Soon, it will be headed into our workshops for the team to assess.

Welcome Back

We have recently welcomed our stunning 1955 MG TF 1500 back into the Bridge Classic Cars workshop.

Tony collected the car from its owner and delivered it safely to the workshop. Now that it is here, it will be looked after by our experienced team of technicians.

More Paint And Trim

The reassembly of our 1976 Triumph Spitfire is making good progress. Rob has now fitted the rear seat pan sound deadening aswell as fitting new trim in the rear of the cockpit area.

While Rob was doing this, Alan was prepping the doors and bonnet for colour. He then applied colour and lacquer.

Ipswich to Felixstowe Rally

Starting at Christchurch Park in Ipswich before travelling to Felixstowe Seafront, the rally is organised by the Ipswich Transport Museum and has been an annual event for many years and is always extremely well attended.

The Bridge Classic Car’s team can’t wait to go to Christchurch Park and meet this years participants to learn more about their cars.

Chassis Prep And Dent Repairs

Classic Car Technician Neil has been prepping the chassis of our 1953 Aston Martin DB2/4. Alongside this, Clinton has been pulling dents out of the car and repairing them.

Once the chassis was fully prepped, Tony took it to be powder coated.

Bench Seat Base

Recently, Lydia has been making the pattern for the base part of the seat of our 1905 Riley 9HP. She has been working with Steve to make sure that the seat is adequately secured when placed in the vehicle. They have decided to make a metal dowel/peg affixed to a metal plate, which will locate into a hole in the body of the car. Lydia added a wedge of wood at the front of the seat to provide a bit more stability for the peg beneath and also as a bit of a leg bolster.

Steve also made new gear lever selector pin and fitted it to the car as the old one was worn causing inaccurate gear selection.

SS100 In The Paintshop

The Bridge Classic Cars PaintShop has been home to our very special 1939 Jaguar SS100.

While in there, Chris and Mauro have been working on the rear wing. Mauro prepped and primed the rear wing before fixing the dent on the wing.

Chris then painted the rear wing.

Interceptor Progress

Our 1975 Jensen Interceptor Mk3 has been in the fabrication bay with technician Chris. He has been welding the front bumper as well as cutting the bumper mount holes.

He then went on to fit up and make the mounts for the rear bumper before fitting up the stone guards and fabricating and welding the mounts.

Repairs And Modifications

Classic car technician Paul has been working on our 1956 Jensen 541. He fitted the heater box and fabricated various parts before fitting the handbrake cable and welding the bracket in place.

He then modified the chassis to enable the fitting of the wiring loom.
