Service

Julian has been servicing our 1973 Jaguar E-Type Series 3. He changed the oil and filter, 12 plugs, 2 air filters, the fuel filter, added 2 litres of antifreeze, and checked all other fluid levels.

He then adjusted both doors as they had dropped before replacing the door seal on the offside B post.

Pre Delivery Inspection

Before we deliver our stunning 1968 Jaguar E-Type Series 1.5 Roadster to its lucky new owner, Jonn has been doing its PDI.

He was happy with everything so fuelled it up and it is now ready to be delivered.

Jensen Bonnet Brackets

Christian has been hard at work in the fabrication bay making bonnet brackets for our 1960 Jensen 541R.

A Restored Jensen Delivered

Our 1959 Jensen 541R has left the Bridge Classic Cars workshop and is now back with its very happy owner.

Tony loaded the car up and safely delivered it home earlier this week.

This is a stunning classic car and one that has been with us for a while. It’s great to now see it back where it belongs.

XJS Brakes And Rear Axle

Classic car technician Jonn has been continuing his work on our 1991 Jaguar XJS Le Mans. His notes were:

Strip and clean caliper to be re used. Blow off and dry. Rub down and mask and paint with silver bake caliper paint. Clean both pistons ready for new seal kit. Strip both hand brake calipers. Clean and blow off. Rub down and mask. Paint silver the same as service brake caliper. Repeat process for other side. Hang all up to dry.

Start to reassemble rear axle. Fit new discs and refit driveshaft flanges and shims. Fit new caliper to offside rear. Refit handbrake caliper and new handbrake pads and secure to caliper. Secure caliper and fit new pads. Fit new axle mounts to frame.

Fit new caliper seal kit to nearside rear caliper. Fit caliper and handbrake caliper to axle. Fit new pads and adjust handbrake caliper. Fit easy bleed pipes.

C-Types Lights And Indicators

Jonn has been working on our 2022 Bridge C-Type Replica. He raised it up on the ramp and removed the centre under trays. He then worked out where and how to fit the prop shaft speed sensor pick up and sensor.

After measuring the length of wire required to connect the indicators, a small twin-core loom was made and taped up. After feeding the wire through the hole under the indicator, it was connected, tested, and repeated on the other side.

The rear headlight covers were also fitted before the bonnet alignment was finished.

A Cobra In The Paintshop

Our 1975 AC Cobra Replica has been in the Bridge Classic Cars paint shop recently.

Chris has painted the engine bay while Mauro completed filler work on the bonnet and doors.

Meanwhile, technician Jonn got the chassis out of storage and placed it on stands ready for first assembly to begin very soon. He also cleaned and prepared various parts for refitting. He fitted the spindles to the front hubs and greased the poly bushes in the top arms.

Seat Repair

A seat from a Renault Clio has just arrived at the Bridge Classic Cars workshop.

Lydia is going to be working on it to make some repairs. Once she is done, the seat will look new again and will be ready to go back into the car.

A Classic Citroen Arrives

We have recently welcomed our 1985 Citroen CX25 GTi into the Bridge Classic Cars workshop.

While it is with us, Lydia will be working on the interior to make some improvements. Soon after it arrived, Mauro got straight to work removing the seats.
