The classic car technicians here at Bridge Classic Cars spend their days working on a wide range of classic vehicles.

As quite a few of the classic cars that find themselves in the workshop are very rare, it’s not surprising that the technicians have to be creative, experienced, and highly skilled in what they do to make things come together as planned.

A classic car technician is able to look at a classic car in a seemingly ruined state and see beyond what is in front of them. They know how beautiful the shell of a vehicle once was and they know that they can return it to that condition again.

Working on such a range of classic cars provides a lot of challenges. From preparing a Jensen 541R for a repaint to trying to rebuild an ultra-rare 1905 Riley 9HP from pictures, each day provides new challenges, requires new skills, and a whole lot of passion for classic cars.

We are very lucky to have such experienced classic car technicians in our workshop. It’s only through years of experience that the team is able to restore some of the most beautiful, most challenging, and some extremely rare classic cars.

The Bridge Classic Cars workshop tends to be a pretty noisy place to be. Whether it’s the technicians sharing a joke, the body of a classic vehicle being worked on, or the sound of heated discussions about the best way of resolving one of the many problems that have to be faced every day. Whatever the cause of the noise, you can be sure it’s classic car related and that the classic car technicians are hard at work restoring a classic vehicle back to its former glory.

If you’ve never seen a classic car technician in action before, the below photos give just a little insight into what a “normal day” looks like for them.
