Alan has been busy in the Bridge Classic Cars paint shop getting some of the pieces ready for the next stage of the restoration of our Java Green 1976 Triumph Spitfire.
After each part had been careful worked, cleaned and readied to go into the booth, Alan could then begin with the coats of epoxy primer on areas like the wheel arches and the underside of the front bonnet.
Giving each part the correct amount of time to flash off, he could then go back into our in-house spraybooth/oven to lay on several coats of the Java Green paintwork to the parts.
Brian has been hard at work in the Bridge Classic Cars in-house trim shop working on getting the various interior trim pieces and panelwork done on our 1956 Jensen 541.
He took the original dash panel section and after removing the old covering, sanded the piece down to remove any residue or adhesive which may have been on the surface. After a deep clean of the piece, Brian could work on getting the piece perfectly wrapped in the stunning dark red leather before test fitting the various dials and switchgear into the piece.
The symbol of the prancing horse is an icon of power, elegance, and poise throughout the sporting world. The perfect representation of perfection from the vision of one man, Enzo Ferrari. Commendatore Ferrari would use this symbol to announce to the world that his cars meant performance and prestige.
Through the decades, the artisans at Maranello would craft some of the most elegant and striking road and race cars the world would ever see.
In the mid-1970’s, the design language would change to adopt the more angular and aggressive styles seen in motorsport throughout the world and give birth to a series of icons from the Ferrari family such as this, the Ferrari 308.
Bridge Classic Cars is giving you the chance to join the Scuderia with our 1984 Ferrari 308 GTSi.
Finished in the Ferrari signature colour of Rosso Corsa and recently retrimmed back to its original Crema leather, this 308 GTSi combines elegance and timelessness into a true 1980s icon.
With a 2.9-litre fuel-injected V8 and the signature ‘dogleg’ manual gearbox, our 1984 Ferrari 308 GTSi has the beating heart of a thoroughbred to match its sporting Pininfarina designed good looks.
Originally delivered to UK Ferrari dealer Modena Engineering Ltd through the legendary Maranello Concessionaires in Surrey in January of 1984, this 308 GTSi was built at the legendary Ferrari workshops in Maranello, Italy in November of 1983 after being ordered in July of that year– confirmed by Tony Willis of the Maranello Concessionaires Archive.
Included in the beautiful Burgundy leather bound history file (which has a highly polished plaque proudly displaying the cars chassis number) includes a copy of the cars original order form which includes the car being specified with optional air conditioning. Along with this wonderful piece of the cars story, is a detailed service history print out from the Ferrari Owners Club. The folder includes correspondence and invoices dating back to the earliest days of the cars life.
In 2023, various works were carried out Haynes Heritage Engineering which included repairs to the sills and several areas of paintwork being rejuvenated.

Chris has been working on stripping down the our 1969 MGC GT in the main workshop.
He has been working his way around and in the car to remove all of the various pieces of trim and mouldings to get the car ready to head into our body shop. The team use this time to evaluate and analyse all of the parts removed from the car to check for condition or any breaks/damage to items which can be recorded and if neccesary, replaced.
Chris has got the car back to a point where other members of the Bridge Classic Cars team can now help get this fantastic sports car ready for the next step of its journey.
The Bridge Classic Cars team have begun working on stripping down the internals and wiring of our 1975 Cobra Project.
This has been headed up by our technician Mauro ahead of the body and paint team beginning to work on the car in our in-house paint and body shop. The team have carefully gone through each system in the car to make notes for the cars reassembly after the work has been completed, such as wiring connections, as well as to make a note of any missing items for the project.
Our paint team have been working on stripping back the bonnet of our 1953 Aston Martin DB2/4.
As the car begins its restoration journey at our Suffolk HQ, the team have begun to peel back the layers of this incredible 50s sports car while also take extra car to preserve and protect the handmade metalwork underneath.
Chris has been working through the layers of paint to get the car back to bare metal for the team to evaluate the material underneath.
It has charm, character, and nostalgia. It’s been a workhorse, a celebrated classic and a family friend – The Morris Minor. In any configuration, from Traveller to Convertible, the humble Morris Minor is beloved by generations. From school carol concerts, sleepy nighttime drives after spending time with family or bringing home the Christmas tree, the Morris Minor has played a part in so many lives. The most practical and seldom seen, is the Pickup.
This charming Morris 1000 Pickup could be yours just in time for Christmas. Our 1968 Morris 1000 Pickup is the perfect classic Christmas gift for you or a loved one this year.
Finished in that timeless and festive shade of deep and glossy Almond Green, the perfect colour to compliment that festive jumper you always want to wear. With a simple cabin featuring a pair of soft newly reupholstered black seats, our Morris 1000 Pickup is as useful as it is stylish and charismatic with a wood lined cargo bay (with a beige hardwearing canvas tie-down cover) which as seen, can comfortably fit an 8ft Christmas Tree.
Having recent work carried out Morris Minor masters, Charles Ware, in 2018 – ‘The Pickup’ as it is aptly named in the postcard hidden in its glovebox had been meticulously cared for and restored since its reimagining in 2018.
During its time at the Bristol based experts, the car was upgraded with an uprated heater, electronic ignition, cut-off switch, halogen headlamps as well as a reconditioned engine and gearbox being carefully rehomed in the front of this nostalgic work truck.
Now, as you sit back and think about what you really want for Christmas this year, why not enter now for your chance to win our 1968 Morris 1000 Pickup, the ultimate Christmas classic.
And, just to give you a little bit extra this Christmas – we’re giving you £1000 in cash!

Several parts of the Mk2 Ford Transit Tipper have been in the spray booth here at Bridge Classic Cars.
Our painter Chris has been hanging up several of the engine parts as well as brake dust shields to get them refinished ahead of the completion of this amazing restoration project
Our paint technician Chris has been working on getting some of the first pieces of the 1953 Aston Martin DB2/4 into paint.
First up on the rack, is the rear seat pan for the classic GT car. After being meticulously stripped back to bare metal, the team hung it on one of our paint racks to refinish this rear seat piece in satin black.
The Bridge Classic Cars paint team have been working on getting several components of the 1951 Austin Devon Pickup refinished.
After prepping them thoroughly, the team have finished the pieces in a rich, glossy and hard wearing black to match the fit and finish of this vintage truck when its finished.
Our technician Steve has been turning his attention recently back onto the reassembly of our Mk2 Ford Transit Tipper.
This time, Steve has been stripping apart the original handbrake mechanism ahead of its being put into our blasting cabinet before being refinished and put back on the vintage worktruck.
Our fabricator, Christian, has been working on our 1975 Jensen Interceptor.
Today, he has been working on finessing a patch panel on the left-hand wing of the V8 GT car. This patch panel holds the side vents in place but has need some careful tweaking and a steady hand on the welder to make sure the piece lays just right to work with the flowing and sophisticated lines of this British muscle car.
In the early 1960s, Jaguar would create one of the most iconic and sought-after sports cars of all time – The E-Type. For nearly 20 years, the long-legged GT car would be seen as the pinnacle of luxury and performance combined.
After this, the world would sit in wait for the better part of 40 years for its successor.
In 2013, the world would take its first look at a modern take on this timeless classic – the F-Type.
Bridge Classic Cars Competitions is giving you the chance to win the answer to the question ‘What would be a modern E-Type?’ with our 2015 Jaguar F-Type.
With stunning Polaris White bodywork, contrasted by a rich black cabin with accents of orange stitching, our F-Type personifies class and sophistication.
Under its clamshell bonnet lies the full-blooded beating heart of this sports GT car thanks to a 3.0-litre supercharged V6. It’s paddle shift, automatic gearbox allows this sleek, modern car to transform from a mild-mannered gentleman to a ready to go brawler with the pull of a paddle making our F-Type truly the ultimate everyday performance car.
The car’s history file includes a print-out of the electronic service record which shows services by mostly main JLR dealers (from 2016 onwards) as well as some trusted independent garages whilst the car was spending time in Malta early in its life.
We’ve got a new arrival at our Suffolk HQ today, with this beautiful 1969 MGC GT.
The car is just beginning its journey here at our restoration workshop so keep an eye out on the Bridge Classic Cars news page for more updates very soon!
At our Suffolk HQ, our team of classic car technicians like to expand their skills and try new techniques out. For example this week, our technician Steve has been working on perfecting his technique at zinc plating.
With the help of a kit and some good old-fashioned experimentation, Steve has been working on refinishing and replating several pieces of hardware from our Mk2 Ford Transit.
These are purely for experimenting and learning new techniques, but the results are impressive.
Through multiple baths of acid and alkalies, Steve has refinished several bolts and using the guide as a beginning point before moving onto working on getting the best results on these specific parts.
Steve is meticulous with everything he does, so this is the perfect pastime for his particular skill set.
With our zinc plating experiment done, we’ll soon be working on refining this method and how we can apply this to our restoration projects in small batches.
Over the past few weeks, we’ve welcomed a very special addition to the workshop. The third in a line of Aston Martin DB2/4’s which are being completely restored by our classic car restoration technicians at our Suffolk HQ.
This particular car, is a 1955 Aston Martin DB2/4 Drophead Coupe and one of a rarefied few which remain. This car, which has yet to be named, has been commissioned by its owner for our highly-skilled teams to bring back to its former glory alongside the sister cars of ‘Claret’ and ‘Moonshadow‘.
Although work has already begun on this incredible piece of Aston Martin history, there is still a long way to go. But, like the sister cars, our team are excited and eager to get this wonderful restoration on the move and all of us are lucky enough to have 3 of these stunning DB2/4’s in the workshop.
Hailed as the modern successor to the legendary BMW E30 M3, the 1M took the world by storm on its release. This rare, straight-six powered miniature meanie is a rare sight to see, especially in the UK and in all black.
BMW M, or M Division, was created in the mid-1970s as BMW’s in-house performance wizards. They took ordinary, everyday road cars and created some of the most sought-after and legendary performance cars until today – with the likes of the M1, M3, M4, M5, M6 etc. In the late 2000’s, M would take the humble 1 series coupe and essentially grafted in elements from the M3 and M4 to create the 1M (not to be confused with the late 70s supercar, the M1).
With only a few hundred of these rare coupes arriving in the UK, most were ordered in colours like Orange and Blue. But this one was ordered in Black with Black leather, making it one of only a handful of cars to be specified like this – making it even closer to its forefather, the fabled E30 M3, whose most common colour was black.
Although we mainly work on classic and vintage vehicles, all of us at Bridge Classic Cars have an appreciation for modern cars which try to rekindle that old-school analogue feel – the 1M being one of those rare machines. Thank you to Chris for bringing it over and lighting up our late afternoon here at the Suffolk HQ.
What’s your thoughts on the BMW 1M?
Although it has been in a workshop for a little while now, and our restoration teams have begun the process of bringing this wonderful early DB2/4 back to its former glory, we never did get to take some of usual arrival photos with the car.
On a Friday evening, our entire Suffolk HQ down tools to clean up all of our workshop and offices ready for the week ahead. This involves moving some, if not all, of our incredible restoration projects outside to safely clean our restoration workshop.
So, I took the chance to grab some photos with this stunning GT car. This is one of the cars that not only cemented the Aston Martin name into automotive history as one of the most illustrious and well-respected names, but also would bring the fabled DB name into the limelight and on wards into the future of the brand.
All of us, both in the workshop and in the team behind them, see it as an absolute pleasure and honour to be able to preserve and cherish these wonderful piece of automotive history and document their rebirth.
The paintwork on the roof of our 1980 Volvo 245 Estate has been revitalised by the Bridge Classic Cars paint and body team.
The team masked up the roof on the car to begin the process of laying down the correct colour to this classic Swedish hauler. First, the team sanded and primered the roof.
After this, the team could move on to returning the Volvo to its former glory with its shining and glossy bright blue paintwork across its entire bodywork.
Our 1970 Lotus Europa is now live!
The Lotus Europa is without doubt one of the quirkiest and individual sports cars of the 1970s. A low slung, mid-engined, racecar inspired drivers’ cars which has garnered a following amongst marque enthusiasts and classic car fans across the world.
The Europa, with its slab back design, would become a precursor to later performance cars like the Elise of the 1990s. But what if you took that classic style and gave it a modern performance heart? That question is answered with our 1970 Lotus Europa and it could be yours…
This beautiful pale yellow 2-seater has been retrofitted with a legendary Toyota 4AG-E engine, giving this retro silhouette modern day performance. Converted to be run on carburettors and then taken onto a rolling road to be fully set up ready for that backroad thrash or an easy cruise to your local car show.
Recently imported from South Africa, the car has been recommissioned for road use and registered in the UK.
Bridge Classic Cars Competitions is giving you the chance to win this unique and stunning sports car and experience all the classic cool with added modern performance – Enter now for your chance to win our 1970 Lotus Europa.

Our stunning 1932 Austin 7 ‘Ulster’ is now live to be won on the Bridge Classic Cars Competitions website.
The humble Austin 7 – The car which played a pivotal role in getting Britain on the move would form the basis of some of the earliest homegrown racing efforts across this green and pleasant isle.
In the early decades of motor racing, the only way to be competitive was to pay your way to the top. Granted, there were notable exceptions, but the pre-war years were dominated by the likes of Bugatti, Mercedes, Auto-Union, Alfa Romeo and Bentley. These were the playthings of the ultra-rich and the elite, seen to be out of the grasp of mere mortals. However, smaller firms who built ‘standard’ saloon cars decided to get involved in the blossoming sports of club-racing and hillclimbing. One of those, was Austin.
In 1929/1930, Austin would field a group of cars in the Tourist Trophy at the Ards Circuit in Northern Ireland. After their success, the Austin 7 Sports Special would gain their infamous name and inspire countless homages – the ‘Ulster’.
This beautiful example of an ‘Ulster’, with bodywork by Rod Yates Coachbuilders, is finished with the elegant and traditional boattail rear end and presented in its stunning combination of deep green with a saddle brown bench seat. Originally built as a box saloon in 1932, its conversion to an ‘Ulster’ was carried out in the late 2000’s along with its introduction to the fabled VSCC (Vintage Sports-Car Club). With the car being awarded its eligibility to compete, after a thorough and detailed inspection by the club in April of 2009.
In 2011, the 4-cylinder 747cc engine was sent to Vince Leek Specialised A7 Engineering for rebuild and upgrades which included a new Phoenix crankshaft along with upgraded Honda pistons (to which the block was rebored) and the cars connecting rods ‘remetalled’ and machined to fit the new crankshaft. Along with the internal work, the block was resurfaced and new guides, new seats cut and fit new valves.
The car features an extensive history file including multiple receipts for work undertaken on the car over the last nearly 20 years, as well as handbooks for the Austin 7, conversion manuals for the ‘Ulster’ specification racer, along with period promotion and maintenance materials.
All of this specialist and skilled work, combines to make one of the most charming and elegantly simple pre-war sportscars out there. And now, Bridge Classic Cars Competitions wants to give you the chance of experiencing what so many pioneers of motorsport lived with our 1932 Austin 7 ‘Ulster’.
Enter now and win this nostalgic bite-sized racer!

Most days of the week, we have new classics arriving at our Suffolk HQ. Today, we’ve had this stunning 1970 MGB Roadster arrive into the safe and caring hands of our classic car workshop for the team to take care of a few jobs for its adoring owner.
The car has been totally restored in the past by another restoration company, but a few little bits and pieces need addressing on the car to make sure it is in the best possible condition.
Take a look at some of the photos we snapped before moving into our restoration workshop ahead of the technicians working their magic on this beautiful 1970s sports car.
Our 1968 Jaguar E-Type Series 1.5, which was won through Bridge Classic Cars Competitions, has made its way across the country this morning to its new home nestled deep within the Cotswolds.
The car, which is now the pride and joy of new owner Robert, has been safely put into storage with plans to bring the car out for a few winter weather road trips in the coming months but returning to its dry, warm home afterwards.
We wish Robert many happy miles with the car and look forward to seeing the adventures it finds itself on.

The history folder also includes an invoice from the legendary Burton Power for a 3J Drivelines NXG 22-spline Limited Slip Differential to make this Mk2 hook up and go!”

Our 1967 Jaguar E-Type Racing Series 1 is for sale by auction right now on Car & Classic.
To prepare for this, Tom and Myself headed over to the former RAF Bentwaters to shoot the car during the worst flooding scene in our area for nearly 40 years.
After gently driving the road-going racer across the site and into the infamous Hush House (the former engine test facility when the base was active). After getting the car in position, we took our time to carefully clean down the car ready for the shoot. It looked incredible under the down lights in the stark and industrial building, a complete contrast against its vibrant and eye catching Volcano Orange paintwork. After the car was cleaned down, we head into the control room where so many test engineers had gone before and hit the lights…
This wasn’t going to be like any other shoot though. We had decided to try something different and really push ourselves creatively in a short amount of time. Thinking back to the incredible photo shoot with our Chevron Formula 2 car, which had been shot by Freddie several years before in the same place, we decided to capture the racing E-Type using long exposures and carefully painting light across the bodywork and accents of the car as well as trying light painting through the background to give it a little more of an ethereal, artistic feel.
Here are some of the results:
Using our tripod and the cameras exposures set to around between 10 and 30 seconds, with the cameras light sensitivity turned all the way down. We began capturing the exterior shots of the car. With myself on the controls of the camera and Tom armed with a single diffused studio light (connected to a portable power pack), we began to slow work our way around the car using the studio light to paint the light over certain areas of the car to give it correct exposure but also to amplify the wonderful form and curves of the vintage E-Type.
Because of the amount of moisture in the air (we shot this at the height of the local storms, and hence why the car was shot inside) the headlights remained fogged up which adds to the vicious look of this road-going racer.
To capture the detail shots of the car, or ‘beauties’ as we refer to them here in the marketing department, we adopted the same approach of carefully dancing the highlights across the bodywork after triple checking the triple checks to make sure the focus was laser sharp on the area we needed.
Things like the Monza filler, a distinct feature on our E-Type, or the quintessential rear lights all had to be captured this way. Although more time consuming, allowed us to achieve the best result. For a few hours, it was a case of systematically going through every angle and aspect of the car with Tom, to capture everything that we needed. The trickiest part of the shoot, was actually the interior.
Because most the interior is covered by the roof, it tends to be the darkest aspect of the car. It’s also the easiest part to be able to see reflections in as almost from every angle you have a glass surface.
Once all of the essential photos were ticked off the list, it gave myself and Tom a bit of time to experiment with some more ‘artistic’ style shots to round off the shoot and add a sense of flair to this one of a kind classic.
Continuing with the use of long exposures to capture enough light to correctly show the car but also show off the menacing and purposeful character of our E-Type, we decided to play with highlights and framing. Using the torches on our smart phones, we worked our way round the car at speed to highlight the haunches and lines, while also creating patterns and shapes to display the car inside of what was essentially a stark and empty background.
The results, are something that we as a team are very proud of capturing for the auction of the car with our friends at Car & Classic.
Also, we offer full photo shoots with your pride and joy by the team here at Bridge Classic Cars. Click here and inquire.

Last night, we welcomed a whole host of local bikers and motorcycle enthusiasts along to our Suffolk HQ for the first Bridge Classic Cars Bike Meet.
Everything from Sports bikes, Tourers and Choppers lined our yard hidden deep in the Suffolk countryside.
Throughout the evening, more and more two-wheeled friends of ours came through our gates to take a look around, grab something to eat, a drink from the Atelier and enter to win our 1997 Yamaha Virago which was going to be drawn that night.
We also had new friends of ours, English Electric Motor Company, come along to show off their range of EV bikes and talk to people inside the community with a really good reception to a new way of getting out and about on a motorcycle.
With the evening in full swing, it was time to do not just one live draw, but three!
Last night we were going to find the lucky winners for our 2017 Ford Mustang, 2001 Jaguar XKR and someone in the Atelier would be the proud new owner of our 1997 Yamaha Virago completely for free.
First up, we found out who the lucky winner of our 2001 Jaguar XKR was – As the numbers on our Random Number Generator whirred away, they fell still on number 2156. Simon Bland was the lucky winner of this modern performance Jaguar.
Then, it was the turn of the 2017 Ford Mustang. After everything had been reset and the all-clear was given by all those watching along on our Facebook live stream, Molly clicked the button to make someones day. That person, was Anthony Hill with ticket number 2978.
Then finally, what everyone who lined the sides of our Atelier building and along our yard outside of our restoration workshop had waited for. The draw for our 1997 Yamaha Virago, our first totally free competition, which to win you just simply had to attend… As the crowd counted down with Molly and Freddie, the numbers flew past the screen again.
