After saying goodbye to our beautiful 1969 Morris Minor 1000 Convertible recently, it’s great to see this classic car back home with its owners. Everyone here at Bridge Classic Cars loved having this car in the workshop and it was extremely popular with visitors and on our social media channels too. Now that it is […]
Late Queen Elizabeth’s 1953 Land Rover Series I, originally delivered to Her Majesty at the Balmoral estate, is going to auction with a guide price of £100 000 – £150 000. It has recently been restored to an extremely high standard, with King Charles III rumoured to have helped fund the restoration after recognising the […]
It’s not every day that we get to see two classic Daimlers. It’s even more rare to see two classic Daimlers that are the same model with sequential number plates. It’s even rarer still to see two Daimlers like this that belong to a husband and wife. That’s exactly the story behind the two latest […]
Our 1979 Arrow Ferrari Daytona recently visited Hangar 111 to make use of their rolling road. This was the best way for the 6 carburettors to be correctly set up. Our Daytona is a very eye-catching car and it always draws lots of attention from any visitors we have to the workshop. Lots of progress […]
After noticing a minor fuel leak on our 1971 Jensen FF MKII, classic car technician John replaced the fuel pipe and clips. This stopped the leak and resolved the issue. However, when John started the car, the oil pressure gauge showed low pressure. After speaking with the owner of the car, it was confirmed that […]
Classic car technician Rob has begun the welding work on our 1968 MGB GT. As you can see from the photos below, Rob’s welding has already gone a long way in improving the condition of this well-known classic car. Once Rob has completed all the welding work, another assessment will be conducted to work out […]
Our 1972 Rover P6 3500S will soon be available to win through Bridge Classic Cars Competitions.

After having an award-winning summer at a number of classic car shows, our 1960 Jensen 541S has returned to us.

Our 1976 Aston Martin AMV8 has recently had its new boot floor panels painted by classic car technician Scott. That wasn’t the only work completed on this classic car last week though. John conducted a check of the tracking and found that it was way out from where it should be. John adjusted the tracking […]
Classic car technicians Monty and Christian have continued their work on our 1975 Jensen Interceptor MK3. The metalwork of any car restoration tends to be the part of the project that takes a lot of time. This makes sense when you think that the bodywork is the foundation of the vehicle. The metalwork needs to […]
It’s fairly obvious that our 1940 Morris C8 Gun Tractor (Quad) is a very interesting vehicle. It is certainly very different to most of the other classic cars we have in the Bridge Classic Cars workshop. With that in mind, it makes sense that finding parts for it can be quite challenging. The water jacket […]
Progress has continued on our 1959 Jensen 541R over the last week. After previously painting the chassis, classic car technician Mauro continued his work painting various components that will eventually be re-attached to the newly painted chassis. While Mauro was painting, Brian continued work on the car’s interior. Although none of the interior components are […]
Nigel Bromley is the Head of Brand Marketing for Lotus and a very good friend of Bridge Classic Cars. We recently had the chance to pick Nigel’s brain about all things Lotus and classic cars. Nigel has been in the automotive industry for a long time so it was great to also hear his thoughts […]
We recently launched a brand new feature on the Bridge Classic Cars website called Talking Classics. As this is a new (and quite different) project for us, you might have some questions regarding what it is all about. Here’s everything you need to know about it: What Is Talking Classics? Talking Classics is a weekly […]
We recently welcomed another new arrival to the Bridge Classic Cars workshop in the form of our 1972 Rover P6 3500S. This is the manual and most sought-after version of this classic car and it was truly advanced for its time. With suspension and bodywork superior to anything else on the market at the time […]
The time has come when we have to say goodbye to our 1969 Morris Minor 1000 Convertible. We have loved seeing this beautiful classic car progress through its restoration journey and we are extremely happy that it is now back with its owner being fully enjoyed as it should.

Everyone here at Bridge Classic Cars has spent a lot of time around Jensens. Considering how rare 541’s are, we have had several in the workshop over the last few years. One very special Jensen is our 1960 Jensen 541S which has recently returned to us. After having an award-winning summer, the owner of this […]
As much as we love seeing restored classic cars leave our workshop to be enjoyed by their owners, we can’t deny that we love seeing them again too. Our 1972 Jaguar E-Type Series 3 has come back to us to investigate a fault with the clutch. Classic car technician Scott has already started work on […]
Considering our 1905 Riley 9HP likely hasn’t been started since the 1940s, classic car technician Dave has been working extremely hard to get it back up and running. At more than 100 years old, you’d be forgiven for thinking that the days of our ultra-rare Riley HP running are long gone, but we are incredibly […]
Classic car technicians Monty and Christian have continued their work on our 1975 Jensen Interceptor MK3. They have been busy fabricating a range of different panels and parts for this beautiful classic car. Areas of focus have been the inner quarter panels, the inner wing, the rear heat shields, and the rear rail. As you […]
Our 1971 Jensen FF MKII recently had a new fuel tank installed. Workshop manager John has been modifying the breather pipes on the new fuel tank. While he was working on this, he found that the reason why the tank sender was not working was that the metal strip had corroded away. Our 1971 Jensen […]
Our 1970 Ford Cortina MK2 1600 GT had its thermostat housing removed by classic car technician Paul recently. Once Paul had removed the housing he was able to drill out a broken stud before reassembling everything with new parts where they were required. Our MK2 Cortina will go on to be a competition car at […]
To gain access to the leaking rocker cover gaskets, classic car technician Scott had to remove various parts of our 1988 Jaguar XJS Convertible. Once he had access to them, he was able to remove the old gaskets and replace them with new ones. After fitting new rocker cover gaskets, Scott began work on putting […]
Our team of classic car technicians continue to work on our 1959 Jensen 541R. Lydia has been stripping the old foam, leather, and vinyl off various interior pieces and prepping some of the metal work for repainting by sandblasting and sanding to remove rust, old paint, and glue. While Lydia was working on the interior […]
Our 1973 Triumph TR6 will soon be available to win through Bridge Classic Cars Competitions. Before it goes live though, a few points were highlighted in its initial assessment that need to be addressed. Classic car technician Chris wasted no time in resolving the small areas of paintwork that needed attention. After spending a bit […]
Our 1972 Jaguar E-Type V12 Series 3 has had new manifolds installed by classic car technician Jon. There was lots of stripping and refitting to be done throughout the process but, the end result made all of the effort very much worthwhile. While Jon was working to strip components to access the offside exhaust manifolds, […]
Classic car technician Brian recently installed the glovebox radio in our 1979 Arrow Ferrari Daytona. He started by making the cardboard patterns for the inner section of the glovebox that would hold the radio. He then cut out the base from mill board and the centre sections from plywood. To make sure everything was exactly […]
