May 6, 2020
We finished work on this lovely E30 BMW a few months ago but have only just got around to photographing it out in the sun.
The car came in for a general recommission. In essence, doing everything the vehicle needs to get back on the road whilst making a few cosmetic improvements. Looking a little worse for wear, there were several major pieces of mechanical and cosmetic restoration to undertake with this project.
The car has had rust repairs, fabrication and been undersealed. It’s also needed a new fuel tank, fuel filter, new disks and pads and full brake service, new stainless steel exhaust and a variety of smaller mechanical components.
Darren has done a fabulous job freshening up the paintwork of this lovely E30 and our Classic Car Technicians (mainly Pete) have ensured it’s mechanically ready to be put back on the road and enjoyed.

Coming soon: 1976 Triumph Spitfire 1500 with Overdrive
May 2, 2020
Joining the Bridge Classic Cars family early next week we have our beautiful 1976 Triumph Spitfire 1500 with overdrive, finished in Damson red.
If you are looking for a lovely tax and mot exempt spitfire then look no further, with an absolute fortune spent on maintaining her!!
The spitfire has been very well restored, looks stunning and sounds amazing. Perfect for a first classic if you are starting to feel the hunger for owning a classic as the work has already been done and it’s ready to enjoy.
The interior is a nice place to be and has a dark walnut dash and Motolita steering wheel and has the added bonus of cloth Mazda MX5 seats for comfort and long journeys. Everything works, including the overdrive in 3rd and 4th. The soft top is excellent too with a zip out rear window.
Our Spitfire is sat on new Minilite wheels with polished lips and excellent tyres which, I am sure you’ll agree, set the car off just right to give it an even sportier look.
Here is a list of new parts detailed to us by the previous owner:
Full new bell twin stainless exhaust
Stainless manifold
Full new suspension front and rear (fully adjustable)
Weber 45 carburettor
Triumphtune inlet manifold
Stainless oil catch tank
Stainless heat panels
Electronic ignition
Electric fuel pump and cut off
New minilite wheels
New 4 pot brakes
Motolita steering wheel
Radiator
Alloy rocker cover
New wipers/mirrors
Door rubbers

Classic Car Weekly Feature – April 2020
April 27, 2020
The launch of Bridge Classic Cars Competitions has featured in Classic Car weekly.
Our story begins with one of our Classic Car Technician’s, Mauro.
Mauro won his dream car, whilst in a service station, by buying a ticket in a car giveaway competition. We saw what a life-changing effect winning his dream car had on Mauro so we thought, ‘How great would it be to offer a classic car enthusiast that very same feeling?’
This was when the idea of Bridge Classic Cars Competitions was born. For less than a tenner and very realistic odds one lucky winner will be driving away in their dream classic car.
Our MGB Roadster winner will be drawn this Saturday. To keep up to date with all of our competitions, make sure to ‘Like’ us on Facebook.

Two Vehicles Depart the Bridge Classic Car Showroom This Week
April 22, 2020
Our 1962 TVR Grantura Racecar and our 1993 Mini Rio have both left the showroom this week.
Our gorgeous collectable classic Grantura was registered to TVR in 1962. BEM 885 was raced with an MGA engine until the engine failed. It was taken back to TVR’s factory and changed to a sunbeam rapier engine that is still in place to this day. We are delighted to hear the new owner plans to restore and race the vehicle.
Originally adorned in the TVR race colours of white with blue stripes. It’s been painted different colours over the years and is now in a lovely deep claret.
BEM885 was raced very successfully in the early 60s, initially by Arne Lambe and W R Bennet. It was later hill climbed by Geoff Taylor. It was regularly seen in the early 80s at Prescott when it was owned by Douglas Mainstone and once restored, will grace the racetrack once more.
The 1993 Mini Rio is a lovely little classic with tonnes of potential. It is uneconomical for us to restore, however it perfectly suits a home restoration. And that is exactly what’s in store for this lovely mini. A father and son team from Cambridgeshire will be embarking on this project. We cannot wait to hear how they get on giving this Mini a new lease of life.

Sir Stirling Moss dies age 90
April 14, 2020
All of the team at Bridge Classic Cars wish to pay tribute to racing legend Sir Stirling Moss who has passed away age 90. In his racing career between 1948 to 1962, he won 212 of the 529 races he entered. One of Britains most loved racing drivers, Sir Stirling was famously quoted saying “Better to lose honourably in a British car than win in a foreign one”. A true gentleman on and off the racetrack, Stirling Moss will be sadly missed by the entire automotive community.
