Greg has been continuing his welding work on our 1955 Aston Martin DB2/4, with a recent focus on the sills that were in need of attention and repair.
Our 2010 Renault Wind has been in the care of technician Jon recently. He first checked all lights and fluid levels, topping up the engine oil and coolant where required, and inflating the tyres to the correct pressures. He then moved on to the rear brakes, stripping them down before fitting new discs and pads, […]
Our 1967 Sunbeam Tiger has been in the workshop for a service. Jon has fitted a new oil filter, refitted the sump bung and torqued it correctly to 30Nm, then removed the wheels to inspect the brakes. While working through the underside, Jon greased the prop shaft and suspension components, and confirmed that both the […]
Jon carried out repairs on our 1972 Rover P5, removing the driver’s door panel and giving the armrest to our trimmer, Rachel, for finishing while he investigated the stiff opening action and failed locking functions. He removed the inner door handle mechanism, cleaned and lubricated it, then tested and refitted it before drilling a clearance […]
We have recently welcomed this stunning 1983 Mercedes 380SL into the workshop. Currently sat in The Classic Lounge, it will soon be taken out for a photoshoot with Molly, ready to be launched as a future competition car.
We have had some incredible feedback from the schools Max and Molly have visited so far. Here is just some of it:
Back in October 2025, Oli was the very lucky winner of one of the biggest competitions we’ve ever done. The prize was a brand new Caterham 310 Encore. At the time, none of these cars existed and, as the winner, Oli could choose the specification of his car. Fast forward 6 months and his car […]
Back in 2002, our Thunderbird left Ford’s Wixom plant in Michigan. This was the first year of the “new” Thunderbird, which Ford launched in an attempt to reconnect with its identity from the 1950s. It was ordered in Evening Black with a Black interior and had the 3.9-litre V8. This was the Jaguar-derived unit Ford […]
It’s been a fantastic first week of our Theatre in Education workshop tour of local primary schools. Max and Molly have already visited several schools to share the Story of Rilee and the children and teachers have loved it just as much as they have loved performing for them. Here are some highlights:
BMW UK has launched a new BMW Classic Partner pilot programme to improve support for classic BMW owners across the country. The pilot begins with four authorised retailers: Halliwell Jones Wilmslow, Sytner Stevenage, Group 1 Hailsham, and Dick Lovett Bristol. Each has now been officially recognised as part of the international BMW Classic Partner network. […]
Earlier today, Craig was interviewed live on Suffolk Sound. He was talking about our Theatre in Education performance and workshop that is currently touring primary schools around Suffolk. This is the interview in full…
Craig, Rob, and John went to the 83rd Goodwood Members’ Meeting. They had a fantastic time, as always, and managed to see a lot of what the event had to offer this year. There will be more to come on this shortly, but for now, here are the highlights of their visit.
Volvo Cars has officially started production of its new fully electric EX60, with the first customer deliveries due to begin in early summer. Built at Volvo’s Torslanda plant just outside Gothenburg, Sweden, the EX60 is a new fully electric mid-size SUV, but it is also the first fully electric Volvo to be designed, developed, and […]
I was recently chatting to our paint shop manager, Chris, about the door cards of a Nissan Figaro. He mentioned that he had just finished painting some, which I found interesting, as painting the interior trim components of a car was something that was a relatively new idea to me. Nissan Figaro Door Cards A […]
The Bridge Classic Cars paint shop is always busy. Today, one of the ongoing jobs is being completed by Adam as he is flattening and polishing our freshly painted 1975 MGB GT V8.
After moving our 1973 MGB GT around the workshop, Will positioned it on the ramp to begin work on the steering components and tyres. He swapped the spare wheel back into place and fitted the two new tyres onto the rear. Turning his attention to the steering rack, Will removed the track rod ends, carefully […]
Our paint technician, Mauro, has continued his work on the bonnet of our 1955 Aston Martin DB2/4 Drophead Coupe.
Progressing further with the engine bay of our 1987 Mercedes 500SL, Jon studied reference photos to determine the correct placement of components before securing them in position once satisfied with their alignment. As each part was addressed, he cleaned the associated pipework and applied lacquer to preserve the finish and protect against future corrosion. Working […]
Will removed the exhaust headers of our 1969 Audi 70 L in preparation for refinishing, carefully taping and preparing them before carrying out the sandblasting process to strip them back. Once cleaned, he re-taped and prepped the surfaces for paint, ensuring everything was ready for coating. He then applied the first coat of VHT black […]
Steve has fitted new drive shaft boots to address the oil leak on our 1970 Volkswagen Dune Buggy, ensuring the joints are now properly sealed. He also installed a new indicator and high beam switch gear. He also identified several points where the roll cage had been knocking against the body. In some of these […]
Greg has continued his work on our 1970 Aston Martin DBS Vantage. This time, he has been giving his attention to the wing, boot, and sill.
As preparations were made to deliver our 1978 MG Midget, Jon carried out a full PDI, beginning with inflating the tyres to the correct pressures and torquing the wheel nuts. On checking the engine, he noted the oil level was too high, so he removed the excess via the dipstick tube before rechecking to ensure […]
Picking up from the previous stages of work on our 1987 Maserati BiTurbo, Will began by fitting a new radiator cap before turning his attention to the fuel system. He carefully cleaned and inspected the replacement fuel sender unit, removing corrosion and debris from the terminals, then tested it on the car to confirm the […]
With the finishing stages of our 1959 Jaguar MKIX in sight, John carried out a series of tasks to bring both functionality and authenticity up to standard. At the customer’s request, he fitted a hazard switch to the car, though this proved more involved than expected due to the presence of a DB10 relay. To […]
As the restoration of our 1975 MGB GT V8 continues to move forward, Adam completed the painting of the car’s shell and engine bay, applying a clear coat over the finish to give it both protection and depth. He then turned his attention to the individual engine components, refinishing them in gloss black while picking […]
With attention turned to the braking and cooling systems on our 1978 MGB GT, Ben replaced the master cylinder and then bled the brakes through until there was a properly firm, solid pedal. He also bled the clutch, making sure that side of the hydraulic system was correct at the same time. Around the engine […]

Ariel has recently revealed the most extreme Atom it’s ever built in the form of the new Ariel Atom 4RR. This is a track-focused but road-legal car that has been built to celebrate 25 years of the now iconic lightweight performance car.
