The new owner is certainly very lucky to have this vehicle in their collection.
Our 2015 Ford Ranger recently sold on MyClassics.co.uk
Its toughness and capability are perfectly highlighted by the odd battle scar around the body of the vehicle but it has always been a very reliable and hard-working truck.
As we say goodbye to our Ranger, we know that its new owner will benefit from its impressive practicality and features.
On a visit to the Manchester Science and Industry Museum, we were drawn to the exhibit on Rolls Royce.
In particular, we were very excited to see one of the very first Rolls-Royce motorcars ever built. Dating back to 1905, this very special classic car is one of only three built and is believed to have been owned and driven by Henry Royce himself before it was eventually sold in 1906.
It was a great experience to see this stunning car up close and to see one of the first cars that led to Rolls-Royce being the well-known car manufacturer that it is today.
Henry Royce certainly took what he said and built his company around it:
“Take the best that exists and make it better. When it does not exist, design it.”
We couldn’t have said it better ourselves!
The team recently collected our 1969 Morris Minor Convertible from its owner and delivered it safely to the Bridge Classic Cars workshop.
While it is here, it will undergo a thorough inspection and assessment, and we will resolve any issues found as a result. We will also be preparing it for an MOT.
It looks very similar to another 1969 Morris Minor that recently left the workshop after being restored. Everyone here is looking forward to seeing this latest addition progress through its restoration journey in a similar way too.
We have recently welcomed our 1988 Toyota MR2 into the Bridge Classic Cars workshop.
While it is with us, the team will be giving it a full service as well as giving the car a thorough inspection to make sure it leaves us in full working order.
As you can see from the pictures below, this is a fantastic looking classic car and we are looking forward to getting to work on it.
Our 1973 Triumph TR6 has gone through its Bridge Classic Cars workshop inspection and the team are happy for it to go live on Bridge Classic Cars Competitions.
Entry is now open and you can get your tickets to be in with a chance of winning this beautiful classic car for just £15.
You can find out all the information you need and get your tickets here.
We recently delivered our 1964 Rover P5 Coupe to lucky winner Christopher Crader.
Christopher won this beautiful classic car through Bridge Classic Cars Competitions with ticket number 4654 in our live draw held on 12th January 2023.
As he explained to Molly, when she called him during the live draw, 2022 was a challenging year for Christopher so we hope that winning our Rover P5 is a sign of very positive things to come in 2023.
Everyone here at Bridge Classic Cars would like to congratulate Christopher again and we hope you enjoy being the proud owner of this true British classic.
We recently welcomed back our 1949 MG YT to the Bridge Classic Cars workshop.
Coming back to us for a service, this is a very special car and we love having it back with us. This is a true classic and is a beautiful vehicle.
It will certainly get lots of attention from the workshop team before it eventually goes back home to its owners.
Last week, we told you about the extremely lucky Roger Woodcock who has been fortunate enough to win 2 classic cars through Bridge Classic Cars Competitions.
This is a story where a photograph simply isn’t enough, so Molly and the team took a trip to visit Roger and watch first-hand as he took delivery of his 1987 Volvo 240 GL.
The Volvo looks great parked next to his previous win of our 1975 MGB GT V8.
As you can see in the video, Roger can’t quite believe his luck that he has won 2 classic cars with us.
Delilah, our 1974 Volkswagen Beetle has begun its restoration journey with us here at Bridge Classic Cars.
Classic car technician Brian removed the cover panels for the hood mechanism before undoing the headliner to reveal the hood frame bolts.
The rear side carpets were removed and the bottom edge of the headliner was removed too. The rear carpets were next to go before Brian untied the wires holding the back of the hood to the car. The hood frame bolts were loosened to allow the hood frame to be removed.
The vinyl from the bottom edge of the rear seat was taken out, as were the cross-member carpets. Brian then removed the panels from below the rear seat and took the sill carpets out too. Brina finally went on to remove the front carpet and the kick carpets as well.
Our 1974 Volkswagen Beetle hasn’t been in the workshop very long but work has already begun to bring this classic and extremely popular car back to its former glory.
The engine of our 1955 Aston Martin DB2/4 MK1 is in the process of being rebuilt. Everything has been progressing well with the rebuild and the engine is now ready for final assembly.
As well as the engine being rebuilt, classic car technician Brian has been working on the interior of this classic car. He removed the old foam and glue from the headliner and sanded it smooth. He then used the old headliner as a pattern for cutting out 3mm foam and material for the new headliner.
The rear headliner material was glued in place and trimmed to shape. The front headliner material was also glued and trimmed.
Brian went on to fit the covered centre trim bar before glueing the leather to the rear quarter section of the car. He also cut slots out of the leather for the seat catches.
The front and side headliner trim panels were fitted, as were the rear and rear side headliner trim panels.
Our 1955 Aston Martin DB2/4 MK1 is an eye-catching vehicle in the Bridge Classic Cars workshop and it is great to see it continue to make progress through its restoration journey with us.
Classic car technician Mauro has been stripping down our 1964 Amphicar 7-70.
This is a very interesting vehicle and it is one that you probably don’t see many of while out on the road let alone in the Bridge Classic Cars workshop.
While Mauro was stripping down our Amphicar, Brian got to work removing the metal trim from the rear of the roof. He also undid the roof straps from the rear of the car and then removed the cover to access the hood frame bolts.
The rear seat was also removed along with the front seat too. The rear door handles and side panels also came out before Brian cleaned and wrapped up the seats.
Our 1964 Amphicar 7-70 will continue to be stripped down and worked on while it undergoes a full restoration with us.
The rebuild of our 1986 Daimler DS420 has continued over the last week. Classic car technician Scott has been busy putting this imposing vehicle back together.
As well as rebuilding our American DS420, Scott has also been undersealing various parts. He also spent time cleaning and refitting parts of the trim too.
Steve has also been working on our 1986 Daimler DS420. He has been cutting out new door handle gaskets and sealing the seams on the rear quarter lower section of the car. Steve also sealed the new panels in the same section. On both rear quarter window openings, Steve sealed the spot welds too.
This large classic vehicle also had the attention of classic car technician Brian as well. Brian has been looking at the roof of our Daimler limo. He glued the vinyl flaps around the back edge of the rear section before bolting the hood cover to the car. He then glued and riveted the inner cover corners to the car body and screwed the back edge of the hood to the car too.
Once this was complete, Brian moved inside the car to glue the inner cover corners in place and then fitted the roof finisher. The metal channel and rubber seal were fitted to the roof finisher and the rear hood was also fitted.
Our 1986 Daimler DS420 has come a long way since it first arrived in the workshop from America. Not only is it now a different colour (it was initially white), it continues to make good progress through its restoration.
Before our 1973 Triumph TR6 is ready to find its new owner through Bridge Classic Cars Competitions, Classic Car Technician Chris repaired another small area of paintwork.
Chris prepped, primed, and painted the affected area and this classic car is now looking better than ever.
Someone will soon win our 1973 Triumph TR6 and, whoever is lucky enough to do so, will have a quintessential classic British sports car that looks as good as it drives!
When the award-winning 1960 Jensen 541S returned to the Bridge Classic Cars workshop at the end of last year, everyone was very excited to see it again.
Since it has been back with us, its fog and spot lights have been swapped over and an issue with the driver’s side door alignment has been resolved too.
The next task that the workshop team have been looking at is a small area of damage to the paintwork above the driver’s side front wheel. Classic car technician Chris repaired the damage before priming the area.
Chris then went on to paint the repaired area and, as you can see from the photos below, our 1960 Jensen 541S is looking as impressive as ever.
Our 1959 Jensen 541R has had more interior work completed by Lydia over the last week. She has now finished putting the new covers onto the two front squabs. Lydia has also finished covering the two front base tubs too.
Now that new covers have been made and fitted, Lydia has turned her attention to making the new foams for the rear squab and the rear base frames.
While Lydia was working on the interior of our Jensen 541R, Chris was continuing his filler work on the body. Several panels were removed in preparation for their final checks and so that they were ready for primer.
Classic car technician Al has also been working on our 541R. He repaired the off-side A post before masking up the body ready for its polyester primer to be applied. Primer was applied and, as you can see from the photos below, things are looking good!
Now that the primer has been applied to our classic Jensen, it can move on to the next stage of its restoration journey and be another step closer to being back out on the road.
Classic car technician Rob has continued the body repairs on our 1968 MGB GT. As the welding ends, this classic car continues to progress through its time in the Bridge Classic Cars workshop.
The body repairs have been ongoing for a few weeks so it is exciting to see these come to an end.
The plan is for our 1968 MGB GT to eventually be a competition car through Bridge Classic Cars Competitions.
As the body repairs finish, attention has turned to the suspension of our MGB GT. They are being re-bushed before being re-fitted to the car.
We have recently delivered another classic car to double-winner Roger Woodcock!
Back in December 2021, Roger won our 1975 MGB GT V8 and then, last week, he was the extremely lucky winner of our 1987 Volvo 240 GL.
Everyone here at Bridge Classic Cars would like to congratulate Roger on being our second double-winner and we hope he enjoys his growing collection of classics!
Our 1974 Triumph Stag recently arrived at the Bridge Classic Cars Workshop.
As you can see from the images below, it needs a good clean and will obviously undergo a thorough inspection and assessment with the workshop team.
Once our classic car technicians have given it the all clear, we will be able to put a plan of action together for its future.
Our 2008 Harley-Davidson Sportster 883 has just arrived at the Bridge Classic Cars workshop.
Now that it is here, our team of classic car technicians will thoroughly inspect and assess its condition before its future is decided.
As you can see from the images below, this stunning bike is in need of some attention but we are very much looking forward to seeing what the future has in store for our Harley!
Simon Bennett has been a huge car enthusiast from a very young age. He is now the founder and CEO of Vint-tro. He also has an E-type with a very interesting story too!
We were fortunate enough to sit down and have a conversation with Simon about his business, his love of cars, and the history of his E-type.
Vint-tro is a lifestyle brand for car enthusiasts.
As a very little boy, my father was always tinkering around with his Ford Cortina MK2 1600E and I was always by his side watching him apply all that P38 body filler! In 1975 my father left home and 3 years later my mother met an incredible American guy called Charles. Charles was a US fighter pilot stationed here in Bentwaters, Suffolk. I’ll never forget the very first time he came round to visit mum and I in his 1973 purple Triumph TR6. I was absolutely mesmerised by that car. Charles was a major influence on my love of cars, he took me and mum everywhere until the day came when he had to go back to the US. He asked mum to marry him and take us both to California, she unfortunately declined and wouldn’t leave the UK. That is where my love of cars comes from.
It was around 1987, I passed my driving test when I was just 17, my first car was a Cortina, but just 4 months later I started to get involved in Ford Escorts. Being an apprentice panel beater at the time I started doing up RS2000s and Mexico’s and my love of classic cars really started from there.
Sure, I built a Le Mans tribute E-type racer but unfortunately I had a terrible fire at my home and lost the car in the fire. Then in August 2015 I was at Helmingham Hall sports and classic festival and this guy came up to me and said you’re the chap who had the fire and lost your E type (it was in the local press), I said yes that was me. He said “are you going to build another one?” I replied of course when I could find the right car.
This guy then said he knows a chap in Surrey who has a 1961 Series 1 flat floor for sale as a restoration project. The car was believed to be a very early hand-built car, one of the first 200 E types, and it was left under a tree for over 30-35 years. At first I didn’t believe him but I said give me his number and I’ll make contact which he kindly did.
Anyway, about two weeks later I called this guy called Edward Eggers and he confirmed he was dealing with an estate of the man who had just died and was clearing the house before putting it up for sale and the E type was sitting under a tree. I said would you mind sending me photos of the chassis plate, engine number, body tag and H frame number. He did this and the car turned out to be 860123, a genuine factory-built RHD E type.
After I explored the numbers, I then got confirmation from Jaguar Heritage that this was a full matching number car and a certificate was issued. As I was trying to get a deal over the line I found out I was not the only person Edward Eggers was talking to, and I found myself up against a very well-known Jaguar restoration company and the money started to get a bit ridiculous.
To cut a long story short I paid £42,000 for the car and as you can see below, you could pretty much sweep it up and put it in a bucket but, to my delight and my wife’s very surprised eyes I got the car and started the restoration project.
I then started to research the car’s history and then this bought up a very interesting story. The car was never registered for the road. It was purchased by two UK Criminals called Sidney Miller & John Bellord, who immediately stripped the car and raced it as part of their race team. The full story can be heard here.
It’s now 85% complete, just the Interior re-trim to go. It will be completely finished by March 2023
I believe driverless cars are coming sooner than we think, I’m sure we’ll be ordering a google bubble (taxi) from an app within 15-20 years. This bubble will take you to your destination completely driverless and charged to your google account. I believe it will be a major part of our transport infrastructure in the future. This will also have a major impact on insurers as I have already seen Volvo has said once they have a driverless vehicle they will take all the liability when this time comes. Interesting times for sure.
Yes, absolutely! Classic cars are heritage, but heritage is not just cars but houses, fashion, trains, and planes where these are all a form of creative engineering and design. Our education for the future has to be taught by understanding and learning from the past, and although I recognise that classic cars are not considered environmentally friendly, it’s important to understand history, which will always be studied and enjoyed by millions of people worldwide and classic cars are no exception to this.
It’s very important because our community is at the heart of our business strategy. Without our community, we will not be able to support them, our business partners and enjoy the things we want to do in the future.
To continue to build the brand and keep focused on our business strategy. We have just one more service addition to add to our already service lines, this new project is underway and we’re hoping for release in May 2023. This development is a major integral part of our insurance scheme, Vint-tro Cover.

Take a look at the entire Talking Classics series for more interviews with other influential people.
If you are a rally fan then you have likely heard about Group B rallying. Before its ban in the 1980s, it featured some of the most powerful and truly spectacular rally cars ever seen.
Richard Madden, of Game of Thrones and Bodyguard fame, stars in a short film all about Group B rallying which is well worth a watch.
Our 2022 Bridge C-type Replica has been making good progress recently.
Our team of classic car technicians have been busy putting everything together and this very special vehicle is starting to take shape.
Despite there still being quite a bit more work to do, it is already very obvious that this is an extremely exciting and great-looking car!
Our 2004 Mazda RX-8 has just arrived at the Bridge Classic Cars workshop.
As it is a new car in the workshop, it will have to undergo a full and thorough inspection by our team of classic car technicians. Once they have inspected and assessed our RX-8, a plan of action for the future will be put together.
Despite needing a good clean, there is quite a bit of excitement surrounding this future classic so it will be interesting to see what the future holds.
We have very recently welcomed our 2015 Land Rover Defender 110 to the Bridge Classic Cars workshop.
This isn’t any old Defender though as it comes with quite a bit of history, despite it only being 8 years old. Belonging to explorer and adventurer Ed Stafford, this imposing vehicle was stolen and stripped of a lot of its components.
Since the Land Rover was returned to Ed, he has been hard at work rebuilding it and getting it back on the road. Following Ed’s recent visit to us, we will now do some restoration work on the Defender to help him get the vehicle looking as good as it should.
Ed’s Defender was featured on the cover of the January edition of Land Rover Monthly magazine.
If you want to hear more about the story of Ed Stafford’s Land Rover as well as his epic expeditions including walking the length of the Amazon river, surviving on an uninhabited island, and living on the streets of the UK, you can meet Ed and hear his stories first hand on March 25th 2023 when we host Stories at The Atelier with Ed Stafford. Tickets are now available!
We recently delivered our 1985 Ferrari Mondial to lucky winner Daniel Fallon.
Daniel became the new owner of our Ferrari when his ticket number, 754, was randomly selected at the Bridge Classic Cars festive live draw held on Thursday, 22nd December 2022.
Everyone here would like to congratulate Daniel again and we hope we enjoy your very own Ferrari!
Our 1965 Aston Martin DB5 may have left the Bridge Classic Cars workshop a while ago, but that doesn’t mean we don’t still give it some attention from time to time.
Recently, classic car technician Jon and workshop manager John visited our DB5 at its owner’s home to investigate why it wasn’t starting.
The two Johns found that the fuel in the car was stale so they drained this and replaced it with fresh fuel. They also changed the spark plugs and got the car running smoothly again.
Once it was back up and running, it was easy to see why our 1965 Aston Martin DB5 was the car of choice for James Bond and a large number of car enthusiasts around the world.
The East Anglian Daily Times recently published a list of the 5 major shows and events running in Suffolk in January 2023.
The Bridge Classic Cars New Year’s Car Rally was included in this list which we are very excited about.
Our rally was a great success and we had a lot of fun spending time with everyone who took part.
The full article can be read here.
Our friends at Wyatt Polishing recently completed some restoration work and zinc plating for a number of seat runners and bonnet struts for the Jensens currently in the Bridge Classic Cars workshop.
When components like this look as good as they now do, you can tell that the fully restored cars they become a part of will be as beautiful as ever.
The White Lady is a very special car. It was the first-ever car made by the Jensen brothers all the way back in 1935.
The owner of The White Lady and friend of Bridge Classic Cars, Joerg, recently had the original number plates of this impressive car refurbished by Tippers Classic & Vintage Plates.
It is great to see the original components of this beautiful car restored and bought back to life for future generations to enjoy.
The White Lady will always be a stunning car and, with the addition of the restored number plates, she will look better than ever.
