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. Our 1969 Morris Minor 1000 Convertible […]
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 […]
As our 1991 Maserati Bi-Turbo Spyder E sold out so quickly and was drawn a week earlier than scheduled, we thought we would host a bonus draw last night (8th December). We all had a lot of fun at the impromptu draw and we gave away some very cool prizes. The bonus draw was a […]

After Bob’s sad passing in May 2022, his support of the RNLI continued. Over […]
During the COVID-19 lockdown in 2020, Bridge Classic Cars wanted to show our support for the incredible work the NHS was doing. Not only did the National Health Service staff put themselves at risk by working through the pandemic, but they also work extremely hard to keep us safe every single day. We launched Bridge […]
When Russian forces invaded Ukraine, a huge number of people were left in a very bad situation. Aid was desperately needed and that meant money needed to be raised. The DEC Ukrainian Humanitarian Appeal was set up to get much-needed help to the Ukrainian people. With more than 13 million people being displaced as a […]
In October 2021, Bridge Classic Cars teamed up with Lotus and the Norwich City Football Club charity – the Community Sports Foundation (CSF). We worked with these fantastic partners to raise as much money as possible to help with the mission of using the power of sport to support and inspire our community. Community Sports […]
Looking after a classic car brings some additional responsibilities than looking after a modern car. Something that you may not have considered is classic car storage. With a newer car, you’ll likely be driving it on a regular basis. However, with a classic, it may be parked up for extended periods of time – over […]
We are very excited that a 1976 Aston Martin AMV8 is making its way to the Bridge Classic Cars workshop from America. We recently purchased the car at an auction and plans are now being made for its travel over the Atlantic, so we can get to work on bringing it back to its former […]
