Believed to be one of only 25 right hand drive vehicles remaining on the road in the UK and one of only 3000 ever produced, we’ve arrived back to Bridge Classic Cars HQ with our next product, this beautiful Audi 100 Coupe S. A full restoration later in the year is planned but for now […]
YMO 388F is a Series 1.5 Jaguar E-Type from 1968. In some ways this provides the best of both worlds. The looks of the original Series 1 car with some of the running gear improvements that came with the Series 2, as well as avoiding some of the price hike that attached to Series 1 […]
Today we’ve collected one of our next projects, a 1996 Jaguar XJR Supercharged. Owned by the family since new, it has been stored in a barn for a number of years not being used. It is now time to get her back up and running once again. First step is to return to our Ipswich […]
In preparation for the full restoration of our 1974 Datsun 240Z we are now starting to collect the available components required for the build. Classic parts are very rare to come by so we always have one eye on what’s available at all times just incase something becomes available that we know we will need […]
Here we have the new air conditioning vents covered in the black leather to match the brand new interior soon to be fitted to our 1967 Jaguar E-Type.

One of only 320 Jensen Interceptor FF’s manufactured, 110 of which were MkII and this being the very first MkII, this very special car has come in to us today to have a couple of minor paint issues assessed with a view to correct them before they progress. All being well, we may see this […]

The polished aluminium radiator and header tank has now been fitted up and looking fantastic.
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Our Maserati Merak is now back in our Ipswich workshops after one final visit to the paint shop and she is looking absolutely outstanding. Just a couple of small areas to work on and the concours restoration will be complete. A couple of removable panels need to be realigned once again and we are waiting […]
The brand new full A and B posts have successfully been fitted to our 1947 MGTC. As you can seem we have discovered a small area of rot that has spread to the back arch panel. Rather than replacing the entire back arch for a small amount of rot Asa has decided to leave the […]
Having exhausted all avenues in sourcing some new/good used headlight hydraulic cylinders to operate the raising mechanism of the headlights, we had no other choice than to re-manufacture some brand new components. Certainly not as easy as it sounds; lots of phone calls later to lots of hydraulic specialists and with no one wanting to […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Having travelled all the way over from our good friends at Beverly Hills Car Club, she spent her early years in Kirkcaldy before heading over to the states in the early 80s we believe. Now that she’s back on UK soil we’ve got her running and here we are out on a nice, leisurely morning drive […]
Our 1974 De Tomaso Pantera is back in with us to have the dust covers replaced top and bottom.
The A and B posts have been successfully removed from the offside of our 1947 MGTC. We have temporarily fitted up the components we have in but are just waiting for one more piece to the jigsaw before we secure everything into position. Due to the severity of what we have discovered we have taken […]
The Mansion House in Elgin is a lovely tourist trap and as we have often seen an overnight stop for classic car enthusiasts. This time some enthusiasts had arrived from Germany and hired an MGB and an Austin Healey from Caledonian Classics (name on the back window) and were making their way around the north […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]After several months travelling from Beverly Hills to be with us our 1967 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow runs brilliantly, with very little effort.

Tommy is now away sailing the Suffolk coast for a couple of days but before he left our workshops yesterday he managed to complete the installation of the new brake pipes. As you can see, the pipes are not yet secured but are in the positions that they need to be. We have also fabricated the […]
We have now successfully removed the majority of the affected area of our 1947 MGTC with just the A and B posts remain. It’s a surprisingly big task to take on but we are lucky to have caught it now as leaving these issues will only make the situation worse. Once the A and B […]
We have now uncovered the A and B posts of our 1947 MG TC to assess the extent of the rot and what coach work will need to be carried out to resolve the issues. As you can see, the A post has been tampered with and corrected in the past as sheet metal has […]
John and Dave have been hard at work refitting the engine to our 1932 Vauxhall Cadet.
THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE SEASON FOR FANS OF OLDTIMER With an audience of more than 60,000 and an outstanding starting field, the AvD-Oldtimer-Grand-Prix is one of the biggest and most popular vintage car racing events in the world. Our good friend Steve was invited along as a guest of official partner’s Porsche and sent through […]
Superglass Windshield Repair have been in today to repair the crack on the windscreen.
From time to time you unfortunately uncover more of an issue than what you first estimate and this is one of those times. We set out with the intention of replacing the main wooded beam that runs along the bottom of both the A and B post and almost from the front of the car […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Our 1947 MG TC has arrived in to our workshops this weekend to have the underside rotten wood issue resolved. The underside wood can be purchased off the shelf which makes the workload (and final bill) much lower but that’s not to say this will be an easy job.

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]We have now stripped, cleaned and rebuilt the brake system of our 1974 Triumph Spitfire. We’ve also blackened underneath the engine bay now that the engine is fully removed as well as the wheel arches. Unfortunately, in places, we’ve discovered a reaction so his task will need to be re-addressed.
