You can read all about our very successful Evening With Ed Stafford here.
An Evening with Ed Stafford is now sold out! We can’t wait to welcome an audience to The Atelier.
You can still be involved as there is still time to enter into the competition for your chance to WIN Ed Stafford’s 2015 Land Rover Defender.
Ed Stafford is an adventurer, explorer, and well-known TV personality. Ed is the first man to walk the length of the Amazon River from source to sea, with his epic expedition concluding on 9th August 2010. It took Ed 860 days of trekking to complete the journey cementing his rightful place in the record books.
After the Discovery Channel made a documentary of Ed’s Amazon adventure, he also wrote a book telling the story of his experience.
Since then, Ed Stafford has survived completely alone on an uninhabited island, lived on the streets of the UK, and competed against some of the world’s best survival experts in his catalogue of TV shows and documentaries.
Recently, Ed has been featured in the news for a more personal reason – his 2015 Land Rover Defender 110 was stolen and stripped of many of its components. Ed has been working hard to rebuild his Land Rover and we are helping him out with this too!
Take a look at some of our highlight gallery below:
On Saturday 25th March 2023, Ed Stafford joined us on stage at The Atelier.
On the night, Ed shared the stories of his achievements and experiences. Our Atelier audience had the opportunity to get to know Ed and learn more about his life, adventures, and his Land Rover.
There was also a question and answer section of the evening where we will delved deeper into Ed’s life and offered the audience the opportunity to ask their own questions.
Doors opened at 7 pm ready for the evening to commence at 7:45 pm
The Atelier Bar was be open for drinks. There was the opportunity for you to view some of the rare and unique classic cars we are currently working on in the Bridge Classic Cars workshop.
Back by popular demand, the Bridge Classic Cars Competitions live draw in front of a studio audience, and this time we were celebrating the iconic Mini.
The doors opened at 6 pm so you our friends could enjoy some food and drink while listening to incredible live music before the live stream of the draw started at 7 pm.
Check out our highlights gallery from the event:
On the night, we held the live draw of our 1979 Austin Morris Mini 850. This is a beautiful classic Mini so make sure you get your ticket as it would be so exciting to have the lucky winner in the room with us.
Of all the cars manufactured in the history of motoring, very few have managed to unite so many people as the classic Mini. Steve McQueen, Mick Jagger, and even Enzo Ferrari have all owned classic Minis and now you could too.
These iconic little cars have never been reserved for only the super wealthy or those with celebrity status. Classic Minis are a car for everyone and offer an extremely fun car to drive while still being easy to maintain with low running costs.
Our 1979 Austin Morris Mini 850 had a full repaint in the Bridge Classic Cars workshop helping to make this one of the best-presented Minis we have ever had as a competition car
We are very excited to have the amazing Annika Rands with us in The Atelier at Bridge Classic Cars for March Mini Madness.
Annika has performed professionally all over the world, from a cabaret show in Turkey to sailing and singing to thousands of guests every night onboard cruise ships.
There will be a range of delicious pizzas available throughout the evening, provided by Piccolo Pizza Box.
Piccolo Pizza Box looks great against the backdrop of classic cars as all pizzas are made within a converted vintage horse box. Wood-fired, stone-baked pizzas are always extra tasty so we are looking forward to welcoming them to Bridge Classic Cars.
The Atelier bar will be open for drinks for the duration of the event. With a selection of beers and spirits, we are sure you’ll find something you like. There will also be coffee and hot chocolate available from the bar too. Please note: we can only accept card payments.
While you are here, you will be able to see inside our workshop and take a look at our some of our current projects. Not only that, but this event offers you an exclusive look into the behind-the-scenes action of our live broadcasts.

Our 1970 Land Rover Series IIA recently sold on MyClassics.co.uk
Despite needing some restoration work, it still runs and, with a bit of care and attention, it will be a very impressive vehicle again in the future.
We will be sad to say goodbye to our Land Rover but we are pleased that a new owner has been found and we hope that the future is very bright for this great classic vehicle.
Our 1959 Austin Healey has only been here at the Bridge Classic Cars workshop for a few days but it has already been the focus of classic car technician Steve.
As the car is with us for recommissioning in preparation for its owner to drive it back home to Hampshire in the coming weeks, Steve has been thoroughly assessing its condition. Prior to arriving with us, it was being stored locally to us, so we are fortunate enough to have it in the workshop for a short while before it heads back out on the road again.
Steve noticed that the front anti-roll bar bushes were worn and needed to be replaced. He also spent some time greasing the various grease nipples to ensure these were exactly as they should be.
The front brakes were cleaned and checked before Steve reassembled them. When it came to the rear of the car, the rear wheel cylinders had seized and were corroded. Surface rust on the drums was also found so these needed to be cleaned too.
Classic car technician Mauro refurbished the rear brake drums in our paint shop and the difference this made to their overall look was quite dramatic.
After looking at the brakes, Steve continued his checks and found that the fuel cap seal was cracked. He also noticed that the fuel pipe was loose and rubbing on the chassis so he fitted a new bracket to resolve this issue.
Another issue identified was that the correct amount of fuel was not showing on the gauge. Steve removed the fuel sender unit and freed off the float which made the fuel gauge accurate.
Our 1959 Austin Healey 3000 will likely only be with us for a short time but it is a beautiful car that we will certainly enjoy having in the workshop while it is here.
Our 1940 Morris Gun Tractor has been at the Bridge Classic Cars workshop for a little while now. As this is such a special (and interesting) vehicle to work on, it’s always exciting to see progress being made on this historic machine.
The engine of this mammoth vehicle has begun the process of being stripped ready to be rebuilt.
During the stripping of the engine, heavy scoring was found on the pistons. This was due to the piston ring seizing in the bore.
As you can see from the photos below, the score marks are clearly visible on the piston as is some damage to the spigot bush. This type of issue can cause clutch misalignment as well as transmission damage if not rectified so it’s important that this is resolved.
2023 is fast approaching and we are very excited to see how our 1940 Morris Gun Tractor progresses through its restoration journey in the last few weeks of this year and into next.
Our 1998 Mercedes E240 is for sale!
This is a beautiful car that has only covered 34,000 miles from new. Very little work was needed but we have painted the off-side rear door as the lacquer was slightly faded.
We originally purchased our E240 from a good friend of Bridge Classic Cars to be part of our own personal collection. However, it is such an impressive car that we feel it needs to be enjoyed by a new owner who will get more use out of it.
It has been extremely well cared for with no rust and the interior looks to be in the condition it would have been in when it first left the factory.
Our 1998 Mercedes E240 is available on eBay.
Our 1985 Ferrari Mondial is now ready for its brand-new owner.
It has been thoroughly checked and has been given the go-ahead from our workshop team that it can be put live on Bridge Classic Cars Competitions.
Entry is now open so you can get your tickets to be in with a chance of winning your very own Ferrari at Bridge Classic Cars Festive Live Draw.
The draw has already been guaranteed for Thursday 22nd December so someone will win our 1985 Ferrari Mondial before Christmas.
Good luck!
Imagine walking into an old barn and finding a classic car. Now imagine walking into an old barn and finding an extremely rare 1962 Aston Martin DB4.
With only 1100 DB4s ever made, finding one in a barn is not something most of us will ever even dream of being fortunate enough to do.
However, that is exactly what happened recently when a barn find turned out to be a very special car!
The car in question belonged to a man who, after returning from the Vietnam war in the 1970s, returned to work at a local car body shop. After doing some work on his boss’s car, he was gifted the DB4. He towed it home and carefully parked this rare classic car in his barn with the plan of eventually restoring it.
Unfortunately, the restoration never happened and the car sat in the barn until it was found more than 30 years later.
The 1962 Aston Martin DB4 has a 3.7-litre straight-six petrol engine and, even in its current state, is valued at around £270 000. When fully restored, previous DB4s have sold for more than £1 million.
This DB4 is currently for sale in New York through Gullwing Motor Cars.
The full story can be found here.
We love Aston Martins here at Bridge Classic Cars and we have had a wide range of them in the workshop over the years. Below is just a small example of some of the beautiful Astons we have seen and, although they might not be as rare as the one found recently in an old barn, they are all equally as stunning to look at.
Highlights of Drive It Day can be seen here.
Bridge Classic Cars are pleased to be hosting a Drive It Day on Sunday 23rd April 2023.
National Drive It Day was created by the Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs in 2005. It celebrates the 65 cars that attempted to drive 1000 miles from London to Edinburgh and back again in 1900 to prove the viability of the motor car.
This epic journey began on 23rd April 1900 and ended on 12th May 1900 when 35 of the original 65 cars that began the journey successfully arrived back in London.
National Drive It Day has become even more than a celebration of this mammoth undertaking. It is now an event where classic and historic vehicle enthusiasts can get together to not only share memories and experiences of their own classic vehicles but also raise money for the NSPCC too.
More information on the origins of the event can be seen here.
The drive will begin at our secure storage facility, The Hangar, located at Bentwaters Parks – a former military air base. There will be time to have a coffee, talk to other enthusiasts, and admire all of the special vehicles in attendance. At noon, we will travel, in convoy, covering a 7-mile scenic route to our workshop in Pettistree, Woodbridge. Here we will have live music from The Buskateers, food from Otis Breading and Suffolk Fried Chicken, and The Atelier Bar will be open until 3 pm.
Commemorative rally plates can be purchased from the official Drive It Day website with the money raised from the purchase providing vital funding for Childline.
For more information, please contact Lily via events@bridgeclassiccars.co.uk
The lucky winner of our 2005 Chrysler Crossfire recently took delivery of his new car.
Stephen Paul was randomly selected as the lucky winner of this Dr Who related car with ticket number 525 in our live draw held on Thursday, 24th November 2022.
Everyone at Bridge Classic Cars would like to congratulate Stephen again on winning this special car.
As this was a special competition with our best-ever odds, we had a great time during the live draw and, as you can see from the pictures below, the whole team was excited to be a part of it.
It’s not every day that you get to see an amphibious car up close. However, we were lucky enough to do just that when a 1964 Amphicar 7-70 came to visit the Bridge Classic Cars workshop recently.
This is a very interesting car and it will likely be returning to us very soon so we can complete some work on it for its owner.
Seeing interesting vehicles like this in the workshop is always exciting so we look forward to welcoming this 1964 Amphicar 7-70 back very soon.
We recently welcomed our 1957 Jensen 541R back into the Bridge Classic Cars workshop.
It was only a short visit but our team of classic car technicians was still able to resolve a couple of issues the owner was experiencing.
Classic car technician Dave turned his attention to resolving a rattle coming from the driver’s door of this rare classic car as well as investigating and resolving an oil leak.
Dave resolved both issues and, as quickly as it arrived, our 1957 Jensen 541R was leaving us once more. As you can see from the photos below though, its owner, Jeorg, was very happy with the quick turnaround.
Having any Jensen in the workshop is something we thoroughly enjoy, but having one as beautiful as this one is extra special and we hope to keep updated with its adventures in the future.
We have recently welcomed yet another classic car to the Bridge Classic Cars workshop in the form of our 1973 Triumph TR6.
As with all cars that come to us, our team of classic car technicians will give it a thorough inspection and assessment before making a plan of action for its future.
This will ultimately be a competition car through Bridge Classic Cars Competitions but, before that, we will certainly enjoy having it with us until a new owner is found in the very near future.
Everyone knows that we love a classic MG here at Bridge Classic Cars. With that in mind, it should come as no surprise that one of the latest additions to our workshop is our 1975 MG B GT V8.
This will eventually be a competition car that will be won through Bridge Classic Cars Competitions. However, before that happens, our team of experienced and skilled classic car technicians will put it through a thorough inspection and assessment.
We love an MG and this looks to be a great example of why we do.
Our 1985 Ferrari Mondial is going to be a big part of our Bridge Classic Cars Festive Live Draw. With one lucky person going to win this beautiful classic car in time for Christmas, our workshop team are working hard to make sure everything is working as it should be.
Classic car technician Steve has been giving our Ferrari Mondial a thorough inspection and assessment. While he was doing so, he adjusted the throttle cable as he wasn’t satisfied with its current performance.
With our 1985 Ferrari Mondial going live on the Bridge Classic Cars Competitions website very soon, you can be sure that it will be ready to go for its new owner to win on Thursday 22nd December at our Festive Live Draw.
Classic car technician Dave has been continuing his work on our extremely rare 1905 Riley 9HP.
After recently trial-fitting the wooden bodywork, Dave has, once again, turned his attention to getting our Riley 9HP up and running.
Dave has installed a new (and much improved) ignition coil set up into this very special classic car. With this latest addition, our 1905 Riley 9HP continues to move closer to being started up and ready to drive once more.
Our workshop team have been hard at work with the restoration of our 1959 Jensen 541R.
Lydia has been stripping various interior parts ready for them to be re-covered and fully restored to their former glory. Brian has also been working on the interior of our Jensen 541R. He repaired the rear quarter panel top wood section. He did this by first marking out the side window surround panels and rear window top panel. He then cut out the new panels and the new rear quarter panel wood.
These wood sections were screwed together to form the rear quarter top panels. Brian then cut out the rear quarter side panels from mill board before bending the panel to shape. He then glued and stapled the side panels to the top panels.
The kick panels were then marked and cut out as were the glovebox end panels. Brian then went on to cut out the footwell panel and rear boot trim panel.
While Lydia and Brian were working on the interior of this rare classic car, Al was repairing and rebuilding the underneath of the bonnet.
Classic car technician Paul prepared the front upright bearing spindle for crack testing too.
Chirs has also been working on our Jensen 541R. He has been completing fibreglass work, filler work and panel gapping. Chris also removed the panels from the chassis so that it can be sent away for sandblasting.
Some components of our 1959 Jensen 541R have been refurbished and will soon be ready to be re-installed in the car as it continues to make good progress through its restoration journey.
Our 1971 Jensen FF MKII has had the attention of classic car technician Jon recently.
The first job Jon completed was to remove the old distributor and replace it with a new one. He also re-routed the speedo cable and fitted a new fuel filter too.
Jon went on to strip, clean, and inspect the brakes of this very impressive-looking classic car.
The cooling system of our Jensen FF was drained by Jon too. So he could gain access to the water pump and thermostat, he had to remove some of the components surrounding them. This gave Jon the opportunity to thoroughly inspect each component and replace any that were no longer in full working order.
All hoses were removed and all mating surfaces were cleaned.
Jon continued his work on our 1971 Jensen FF MKII by making a new gasket for the thermo housing. The cooling system was flushed and blown out too.
The grill was removed so Jon could access and remove the a/c fan.
The coolant pipe was found to be badly corroded so this needed to be cut and modified to resolve this issue. Once the new pipe was cut and painted, the whole system was refitted to the car.
Jon’s work on the cooling system of our 1971 Jensen FF MKII carried on with a new fan switch being fitted, rewiring the fans, and filling the system vacuum with the old coolant that was saved earlier in the process.
Work on the car wasn’t done yet though as Jon went on to remove the fuel tank. He did this to investigate the leak that the owner of the car says happens when the tank is full. Jon’s investigation began by pressure testing the fuel tank. A hole was found in the tank seam once the rust was removed.
Classic car technician Jon cleaned and prepared the new parts that will be needed to fit the new fuel tank. The tank straps were sanded and painted and a new filler neck hose was shaped ready to be fitted.
A new electric fuel pump was installed in our 1971 FF MKII. For this to happen, Jon prepped the area by removing the rear seat so he could secure the new mounts through the floor. The mechanical fuel pump was removed and a blanking plate and gasket were made, painted, and fitted.
Jon’s attention then turned to the wiring that leads to the new fuel pump. The fuel pipes were replaced and joined at the front while armouring was used in places to make sure the wiring was properly protected.
Jon has put a lot of time, effort, and skill into our 1971 Jensen FF MKII lately. Lots of progress has been made and work will continue until this beautiful classic car is ready to drive out of the workshop and get back on the road with its owner.
Classic car technician Steve has continued his work on our 1975 MGB GT V8. As this will soon be a competition car on Bridge Classic Cars Competitions, the workshop team are making sure it is working as it should and is ready to be won by its new owner in the near future.
Steve noticed a dent in the sump which he removed and repaired before reinstalling back onto this beautiful classic MG. As well as fixing the dent in the sump, Steve also fitted a new timing cover and water pump rear housing. This was to replace the corroded and leaking housing that Steve found on the car during his initial inspection and assessment.
The engine of this classic car has been put back together now too which has given the car a big leap forwards toward being ready to leave us and get back out on the road.
Steve wasn’t done yet though as he went on to fit a new exhaust mount and clamp as well as new rear shackle bushes too.
Work continues on our 1975 MGB GT V8 and it won’t be long before it goes live on the Bridge Classic Cars Competitions website ready for someone to win. This will no doubt be a very popular competition but, until then, our workshop team will continue getting it ready for its new owner.
It may have only been in the Bridge Classic Cars workshop for a short while but classic car technician Scott has already been busy getting his assessment and inspection of our 1988 Jaguar XJS Convertible underway.
Scott noticed an oil leak during his checks so he spent some time looking for the source of the leak. He also gave the car a thorough looking at to look for any areas of corrosion. Any areas found have been reported and will be resolved while the XJS Convertible is in the workshop.
The diff and gearbox oil were also checked. Scott replaced the diff oil before replacing the broken grease nipple on the drive shaft.
Scott then went on to remove and clean the coolant level sensor before continuing his checks on the rest of the car.
Our 1988 Jaguar XJS Convertible will continue undergoing its checks and assessment as well as having any issues found resolved by our team of classic car technicians. Classic Jaguars like this are always enjoyable to have in the workshop so we will certainly make the most of having this one with us.
