Goodwood Festival Of Speed

The Goodwood Festival of Speed is a celebration of motorsport and all things automotive. People travel from all over the world to the idyllic West Sussex countryside, to enjoy the FOS at Goodwood House.

The Festival of Speed attracts a huge variety of historic and modern vehicles, from vintage racers and iconic classics to the latest supercars and prototypes. The main event is the legendary Hillclimb, where drivers push their machines to the limit on a challenging and picturesque course.

Petrol heads have the opportunity to get up close and personal with the vehicles, meet the drivers, and immerse themselves in the exciting and fast-moving atmosphere.

Some of the Bridge Classic Cars team are always in attendance so, if you see us, come and say hello.

Rebuild Progress

The rebuild of our 1956 Jensen 541 by technician Paul has carried on recently. Paul fitted the engine and gearbox to the car before cleaning and preparing the oil filter housing for paint. He modified the wiper spindles to take new fittings, before making and fitting the starter motor main lead.

Paul then started to prepare the carbs ready to fit.

The water pump was fitted and measurements were taken to machine pulley to size. Paul fabricated the starter motor cover before starting to assemble the carbs and making seals and gaskets.

Door Skins

The door skins of our 1960 Jensen 541R have been painted in DTM black.

Finished And Delivered

Our 1993 Bentley Turbo R has left the Bridge Classic Cars workshop after undergoing its pre-delivery inspection and being delivered to lucky winner, Hugh.

XK120 Chassis

Technician Julian has begun the process of fitting up the chassis of our 1954 Jaguar XK120.

Another One Done

Classic car technician Jonn has completed the PDI on our 1976 MG Midget. It is now ready to be delivered to its lucky new owner. Jonns notes about the work completed are:

Drain coolant header tank and replenish with new anti freeze.

Get car round into workshop and raise on ramp. Inspect underneath for signs of knocking on floor. Found exhaust been made and stting close to rear axle and floor. Drop exhaust and grind away section of rear floor to add clearance and remount higher in relation to where it was. Grease all points. Lower to floor and check carburettors. Remove suction Chambers and pistons and clean. Use vernier to set jet heights to approx 1.7mm. Reassemble but pistons sticking in Chambers. Found air filter gaskets protruding over carburettor edge not allowing Chambers to sit flush. Cut off excess gasket from both air filters and retry. Chambers sit flush and pistons return freely. Fit P clip to fuel pipe to secure to air filter bolt. Replace both ends of rubber fuel hose. Lower to floor. Torque all wheels. Take outside and run up to temp. Adjust mixture and carry out road test. Drives better but knock still present. Get back in and rase in air. Check gearbox mount as knock seems to come from this area. Fou d metal on gearbox mount hitting floor. Fit piece of rubber between mount and floor and take outside and retest. Ok now. Bond gear knob back onto stick. All ok.
