Kath has been laying sound deadening in the Peony Red 1960 Jensen 541S which is starting to look more and more complete. Kath began by covering the section of floor she was working on, with leather and then started to lay the sound deadening, being careful to check how each piece fitted and glue them […]
Pricey has been taking apart and rebuilding the lower rear sills, entire lower sill, rear inner sill and floor as all of it were showing series signs of corrosion as the structural integrity was challenged.

We’ve just welcomed this quirky barn find 1959 Ford Anglia into the Bridge Classic Car family. It’s looking rather dusty at the moment however for a car that hasn’t been driven in years, it’s looking amazing. Many of the original details are still intact such as the interior which is pristine for a 62 year […]
Our 1968 Triumph TR5 has been a total nut and bolt restoration, with it looking like just a chassis and some mechanics only 6 months ago. Today it was started for the first time and it ran as expected with no series issues. The expected teething issues of a brand new engine have occurred, including […]
We’ve been working on getting this 1915 Ford Model T up and running again, starting with refreshing the brakes. On this age car, the brakes are drum and steel which are only located on the back. We’ve taken the wheels off the back right hand side to find they’re totally dry and looking well. We’ve […]
Our talented presenter, Charlotte, recently got on our 1953 Francis Barnett and despite having little experience riding, she soon picked it up like a pro. At the weekend, Charlotte went out as a passenger on the back of this classic motorbike, owned by a friend. This beastly classic is a stunning 1998 Honda Valkyrie 1520 […]
Notice anything about these two images? We were stunned to see the difference in colour once Colin for Auto Valet had cleaned the seats on our Mercedes CL600! The line across each photo shows the before and after of the leather seats in our Mercedes. We can’t wait to see how it all looks once […]
Take a look at the full photo gallery for our Mercedes CL500:
Our electrician Tim recently sold us his late fathers beloved Mercedes CL500 with the hopes that someone else will take it on and love it. We’ve recently put this up in our competition where someone will be able to win it and love it as well. Thank you Tim for passing on such a special […]
We noticed that a previous project of ours, this stunning 1973 Triumph TR6 had stopped in for a coffee at First Coffee in Clopton. We hear that First Coffee seems to be a popular place to stop off for coffee in your beloved motor! We’ll need to check it out soon… View this post on […]
Friend of Bridge Classic Cars, Kieran Roper, has recently bought this rare 1977 Silver Mini that has gone on to get him featured in local news papers. This silver classic has only 5501 miles on the clock after being won by a school teacher in 1977 who couldn’t drive. This Mini is one of just […]

Scott has taken a look at our 1971 MG Midget. He began by investigating the poor running issue, which he identified as being a dodgy distributor cap. After finding a cap off another car to try, Scott got it running. By played with timing and fuel mixture, Scott managed to get the MG started so […]
The 1973 Maroon Triumph Stag has its rocker covers and air box removed so that these could be painted.
Scott has been working on our 1971 Spitfire to identify the source of an oil leak. He discovered that it was the timing cover gasket so we’ve ordered a new part to fix it. Scott then had to fix the heater vent control lever as it was jammed and then look at a poor starting […]

This stunning 1971 Ford Capri has had an unfortunate run in with a ladder that has left some small cosmetic grazes on its rear quarter panel. We’ve taken it into the capable hands of our paint shop to have a touch up so that it can leave looking brand new. We’ve all been ogling at […]
This little brown 1978 Mini GT 1275 is in for some bodywork. We work closely with Ted from Team C Racing, who specialises in Minis as he will often send his projects our way for paintwork and bodywork, such as this Mini.
1 of 43 Ltd Edition Lotus Elise S2, with just 9 in red and only 6 in red with a grey cloth interior. Being 1 of the 6 and being a beautiful, low mileage example, the current owner would like to re-trim the seats, door cards and centre console close to original factory specification.
We’ll hopefully be welcoming this little Sprite in soon for some work – keep your eyes peeled!
Our Surf Blue mini that we helped restore with Ted from Team C Racing is now set to star on Vintage Voltage on tv. We’ve recently been mentioned in an EADT article about it which you can read here. The car has spent the 6 months in Wales at Electric Classic Cars undergoing a Tesla […]
This little 1971 MG Midget has come in today for a service. It’s in need of its wheels being balanced, a general check over as it hasn’t been driven in a while and an oil check. These MG Midgets are a particularly popular and charming classic which are quickly appreciating in value. As a simple […]
Our 1997 Jaguar XK8 has become somewhat of a snowball restoration. Originally in for just a touch of rust repair, we’re now revealing more rust than previously thought. Scenarios like this is very common as rust repair is often like opening a can of worms and we believe its better to bite the bullet and […]
Our 1960 Jensen 541R is undergoing some fibreglass repair in our paint shop. Matt is currently working on the boot lid that needs to be repaired with filler, shaped up and smoothed down.
Before we get the body and panels of our 1973 Jaguar E-Type Series 3 Roadster in for paint, we need to start painting the internal parts in black epoxy. The majority of these parts will be totally or partially hidden either under the car or within it, however, it is important to have them all […]
Having been in storage for many years with our friends at Brown and Gammons it’s time for the car to out and see the sunshine. We have been commissioned to rebuild the engine and marry up the gearbox. Work will commence very soon.
Brian has recently added the finishing touches to our Maroon 1973 Triumph Stag. This car has gone from looking rather sad at Bentwaters, with an empty interior and flat tyre, to now starting to resemble a usable car! He has fitted the tonneau cover in place by bolting the brackets into the car and fitting […]
On these sunny Sunday afternoons we don’t just jump in our cars here at Bridge! Two of our technicians, Mauro and Tom spent Sunday enjoying a day out on two wheels in Great Yarmouth.
Our Lotus has come back in for a service before the owner takes it out on a road trip. We’ve attended to the engine cooling fans which are working correctly, we’ve found no oil leaks, we’ve checked over the vehicle to identify any other faults, which we have not found and replaced the oil and […]
