Transporting A Classic Land Rover

Tony recently transported our 1965 Land Rover Series 2a from our secure storage facility back to the Bridge Classic Cars workshop before delivering it to Cult 4×4.

PDI And Road Test

In preparation for our 1979 Triumph Spitfire to be delivered to its new owner (who won it through Bridge Classic Cars Competitions), Jonn has been conducting a pre-delivery inspection and road test.

Here are his notes:

Finish pdi and carry out road test. Choke not picking revs up enough when operated. Adjust quadrant bolts on throttle spindle and retry, ok. Drives ok when warmed up properly. Throttle pedal a bit stiff again like before. Remove cable and lubricate. Refit and test, better. Just waiting for spare tyre yo be fitted to spare wheel and the ready to go.

Jonn also stripped and adjusted the nearside front wheel bearing before refitting the wheel and torquing it to spec.

A Different New Arrival

Earlier today, our 1955 MG Magnette arrived at the Bridge Classic Cars workshop. This new arrival is a little bit different though – it’s actually my new classic (sort of!).

Through the Classic Car Loan Project, I am the custodian of this beautiful classic for the next 12 months.


While the car is in my care, I will be taking it to all of our events and car shows. I will also be using it regularly for the pure enjoyment of doing so!

Peter, who is the owner of the car, drove it to the workshop and spent lots of time showing me around it. I obviously returned the favour by showing him around the workshop and all of our current projects.

Thank you to Peter and everyone at the Classic Car Loan Project who helped organise the handover – I look forward to making the most out of my time with the beautiful MG Magnette.
