Win Our BMW 335i

Our 2007 BMW E93 335i is now live on the Bridge Classic Cars Competitions website.

Our 2007 BMW E93 335i is still in its original specification and has had several thousands of pounds of preventative maintenance done on it by its previous owner. In July 2023, it had its last service by Cecil and Larter Volvo who have known the car for many years. As part of the service, the spark plugs, oil and filter, pollen filter and air filter were all replaced. The automatic gearbox filter and sump were also replaced. The diff oil was changed and a new input seal was replaced too.

With a substantial amount of money spent on our 335i, it is now ready to get back out on the road with its lucky new owner.

Our first Autojumble

We had a lovely morning on Sunday at our very first Autojumble, the morning dawn bright but very cold. We were delighted to see half a dozen stall holders come along to display and also to welcome lots of you to our Atelier. The hot drinks were flowing and it was delightful to see some new and familliar faces.

We also welcomed a few new members to the team this weekend, it is lovely to have them on board. Rio was resident photographer for the morning and snapped some great shots.

Inspection And Repairs

Jonn has been looking after our 2006 Morgan 4/4. His notes are:

Carry out inspection. Strip clean and inspect brakes. Inflate tyres and torque all wheels. Remove auxiliary belt and clean water pump pulley of rust. Refit auxiliary belt. Drain coolant. Refill with new anti freeze. Lubricate steering column universal joints. Glue pedal rubbers back on. Remove washer bottle and clean out. Blow out washer pipes and jets. Refit bottle and top up and test washers, ok. Bend tangs inside cigarette lighter to get element to stay in.

Recovering Interior Panels

The customer has kindly supplied all the interior panels of our 1963 Bentley S3 to us so that Lydia can recover them. He has remade some of the most damaged ones using the other sides as a template.

Remaking the cardboard boot pieces was the most challenging, as Lydia had to moisten the cardboard before moulding it into shape. After making it the desired shape and replacing the wood and metal pieces, she covered it in carpet.

Cobra Rear Axle

Mauro has been removing the rear axle from the chassis of our 1975 AC Cobra Replica.

Once this was done, he also primed the engine bay ready for paint.

Ready For Delivery

Our 2007 Land Rover Defender 110 is loaded in our trailer and is on its way to the lucky new owner.

UK Car Production Rises

In February, UK car production rose by 14.6% to 79,907 units, according to the latest figures published by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT). This marks the sixth consecutive month of growth and the best February performance since 2021.

Pretty much all major volume manufacturers experienced gains, fueled primarily by heightened production for the domestic market, which grew by 58.0% to 20,658 units, reflecting an impressive increase of 7,585 units.

Volumes for export also rose by 4.6% to 59,249 after a rise of 2,615 units with 74.1% of all cars made in February being sent abroad. The European Union received the largest proportion of exports (59.9%) followed by the US (14.8%), China (7.1%), Australia (3.3%) and Turkey (2.3%).

The production of electrified vehicles, including battery electric, plug-in hybrid, and hybrid models, remained steady, constituting more than a third (36.3%) of total output for the month. A combined total of 29,038 units were produced, marking a 6.0% increase compared to the previous year. Notably, two-thirds (67.3%) of these electrified models were manufactured for export markets, underscoring the importance of enhancing UK battery production and electric vehicle supply chain capabilities to meet growing demand.


Mike Hawes, SMMT Chief Executive, said, “Another month of growth for UK car production is welcome news, reflecting strong demand at home and around the world for the latest British-built cars. The industry is transitioning from internal combustion engine cars to electrified vehicles, building on the massive investment commitments made last year. The UK industry faces stiff competition, however, as global competitors seek to secure new models and technologies so a commitment to our industrial competitiveness, from all political parties in this likely election year, must be maintained.”

A Successful Bike Meet

Last night, we hosted our second Bike Meet, and it was a great success.

With delicious food from Prestige Bars & Catering, relaxing music, and a whole lot of motorbikes to admire – plenty was going on to keep everyone entertained.

As well as enjoying the event, everyone in attendance got to see the live draw of our 2004 BMW R1150 where we found lucky winner, Andrew White.

The whole Bridge Classic Cars team had a great night and we are extremely grateful to everyone who attended. We hope to see you all again at our next event.

Another Successful Delivery

Our 1976 Leyland Mini Clubman was recently delivered to its lucky new owner.

We hope he enjoys owning this beautiful classic Mini.

TR5 Collection

Tony recently collected our 1968 Triumph TR5 and bought it back into the Bridge Classic Cars workshop.

Service And Road Test

Our 1979 Triumph Spitfire has been in the hands of Jonn. Here are his notes:

Get in and finish the service. Fit new points and condenser. Refit cap and rotor and try to start. Won’t fire. Investigate and found wire from condenser insecure and barely making contact. Strip and solder both wires from condenser and to points into contact. Adjust points and try to start again. Ok now. Take outside and warm up. Set idle speed and carry out road test. Not too bad now but will require throttle cable (on order) as its very stiff.

541 Progress

Here’s what Paul has been up to with our 1956 Jensen 541:

Finish and fit adjuster for dynamator

Finish wiring in engine bay

Refurb and fit tank sender unit

Fabricate engine breather pipe

Fabricate cover for fuel tank inspection cover inside boot

Modify brake pipe mounts and brake pipes to allow fitting of wings

Modify of wing to make room for the steering box,also modify steering box mount,fit engine breather pipe

Transit Progress

Steve has continued his work on our Transit Tipper.

He has fitted the wiring loom under the bonnet and in the cab. He repaired the N/S/F indicator wiring by soldering and using heat shrink tubing to seal the joint.

Steve also started to fit up the dash after the new wiring loom had been fitted before removing the radio front panel, cleaning years of dirt off from behind the dials and reassembling.

The headlamp adjusters have been stripped down, cleaned, and zinc plated.

Door Cards And Floor Mats

A customer wanted a quick interior refresh on her 2006 Nissan Micra Convertible.

Lydia made some custom-fitted floor mats, which fit much better than the generic shop-bought ones. She also added some extra-strong velcro so they don’t slip from their intended position.

Next, Lydia replaced the material which had become tatty and was starting to pull off the door cards. This was tricky because she couldn’t remove the panel, as it is attached with plastic rivets and a special tool. She managed to overcome this with the help of a soldering iron and some careful melting! The new panel is now covered in a smart black suede material and looks factory-fresh again.

Zephyr Heater

Jonn has been working on our 1964 Ford Zephyr in preparation for it to be delivered to its new owner. Here are his notes:

Carry out pressure test on heater valve before refitting to heater. Fill with water and use air to pressurise. Found small leaks from weld repair on side of valve and seal on inlet pipe. Remove pipe and clean. Fit new O ring and sealer and refit and secure. Mix and apply JB marine weld and leave to go off.

Fill and pressure test heater valve now repair has set. Seems fine. Reassemble heater box and fit back in car. Connect hoses and cables and secure heater to bulkhead. Vacuum pressu4e test system again, this time Vacuum held for approx 5 minutes ok. Fill system and check operation of cable controls. Adjust direction cable and test. Refit centre dash and shelf. Refit handbrake knob. Raise in air and adjust handbrake. Secure exhaust rear mount and get off ramp. Take outside and warm up. Check heater hot. Carry out road test. Found slight hesitation and clutch slow to engage. Bring back inside and strip and remove clutch slave cylinder. Clean out and refit. Bleed clutch and test. Adjust carb secondary air screw and idle speed.

Volvo Makes Its Last Diesel Car

Volvo has officially built its last diesel car!

Back in early February, the Volvo plant in Ghent, Belgium, produced its last diesel-powered car, a V60 and now, a few days ago, the plant in Torslanda, Sweden, saw its last XC90 diesel car roll off the production line.

This is a major event in Volvo Cars’ 97-year history as they now take a big step towards their goal of becoming a fully electric car maker by 2040 (and have net zero greenhouse gas emissions).


Goodbye Diesel, Hello Electric

Diesel engines have long played a part in the history and success of Volvo. However, in recent years things have changed. Regulations, customer demand, and people’s increased focus on climate change and alike have meant that electric car sales have dramatically increased.

For example, five years ago, Volvo were selling more diesel cars than any other engine type in their range throughout Europe. Today, most of their European sales are electric! Last year, Volvo increased its sales of fully electric cars by 70 per cent, and its global electric market share by 34 per cent.

Although the future of Volvo will be electric, their current portfolio still includes plug-in hybrids and mild-hybrid models.

    Sorry, Volvo……euer größter Fehler auf Elektro zu setzen. War schon falsch 5 Zylinder abzuschaffen, aber gänzlich die Verbrenner???
    Ich werde nach dem Tod meines 5 Zylinder xc60, mir keinen Volvo und schon gar nicht elektrisch kaufen….. dann lieber,, alte co2 schon kostende Fahrzeuge“ kaufen und weiter nutzen bis zu deren kompletten Tod 😉

SCC | Private Members Visit

We recently welcomed the SCC | Private Members Club into The Atelier at Bridge Classic Cars.

While they were here, they had a look at all of our current restoration projects as well as spending a bit of time admiring each other’s cars too.

They arrived in an impressive fleet of supercars and it was great to see them all. We hope to see them again soon.


Jack On Superyacht Content

Our very own Captain Jack recently had an article published on Superyacht Content.

Entitled ‘Private or Charter, Which is Better for You?’ Jack’s article discusses whether it is better to work on a private or charter yacht.

The full article can be read here.

C-Type Bonnet

John has been fitting the temperature sender to our 2022 Bridge C-Type Replica. He also routed the wiring and secured it under the manifold.

He then started to fit up the bonnet before fitting the headlight mounts and headlights to both sides.

The grille was fitted to the air intake which was then installed.

John then polished the front panels and radiator top as these are visible through the grille.

Office chairs don’t have to be boring…

In the hands of Lydia, our expert chair do-er upper, our office chairs are about to get a bespoke makeover in preparation of the opening of our new events space.

Although the chairs are your typical office chairs with no real character we didn’t want to see them scrapped so Lydia will look to strip them back and transform them into something special.

It’s All Golden

Our 1963 Bentley S3 Continental Coupe has been in the Bridge Classic Cars paintshop with Chris. He has been rubbing down, applying primer, and painting it this fantastic Gold colour (Sand II).

230SL Transport And Storage

Tony recently collected our 1964 Mercedes 230SL from its owner and took it to our secure storage facility.

Parking Stress

In a recent survey, commissioned by Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, 49% of Brits said that they find parking stressful and take whatever measures possible to avoid certain manoeuvres.

Additionally, one in four UK drivers said parking with family members in the vehicle is even more stressful.

Of all the parking manoeuvres, reverse parking came out as the most stressful with 15% of the vote.

All of these statistics have led to more than half of UK families (57%) having concerns about buying or using a large car because of parking stress, despite the ever-increasing preference for a larger vehicle.

The average UK garage measures 2.4m x 4.9m. However, the average size of vehicles in the UK continues to increase as a result of greater demand and increased safety legislation. This means that more precise parking manoeuvres are needed to keep your car safe and secure.


This survey was conducted as part of the promotion of the Volkswagen ID. Buzz. This is fitted with the new Park Assist Plus with memory function which can automatically reverse park the vehicle in both parallel and perpendicular spaces.

Available across the Volkswagen ID. Range, the Park Assist Plus system can be taught up to five different parking manoeuvres. The function remembers parking manoeuvres at speeds below 40km/h with a travel distance of up to 50 metres – for example, for reversing into a tight bay or garage. The driver just has to park once and save that manoeuvre, enabling the car to complete the same sequence autonomously, in future.

Before carrying out a parking manoeuvre, Park Assist Plus can also search for a parking space. It does this thanks to its intelligent assistance system which detects suitable parallel parking spaces at speeds of up to 40km/h and parking bays at up to 20km/h. Once a suitable spot has been found, the driver presses the brake and activates the parking procedure.


Volkswagen ID. Buzz

With 1,121 litres of cargo space, a practical and spacious interior for five, and up to 258 miles of range on a single charge, as well as six USB-C charging points and touchscreen infotainment, the ID. Buzz makes for an interesting family vehicle.

Built on Volkswagen’s electric-first Modular Electric Drive Kit (MEB), the ID. Buzz is Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles’ first factory-built all-electric model, providing customers with the ability to travel in a stylish, zero-emission commercial vehicle.

The Statistics

  • A new survey confirms that half of Brits (49%) find parking stressful and take measures to avoid certain manoeuvres
  • 40% of respondents say parking is more stressful when members of their family are in the vehicle, while 15% find reverse parking the most stressful manoeuvre
  • More than half of UK families (57%) have concerns about buying or using a large car because of ‘parking stress’, despite the growing preference for a larger vehicle

Results are taken from a OnePoll survey of 1,000 drivers, with a family, in the UK, conducted in December 2023, commissioned by Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles.

Some Special New Arrivals – Mercedes 300SL and Morgan 4/4

Arriving to us via H&H Classic Auctioneers, from world renowned luxury and performance car specialist Hilton and Moss, here we have the absolutely stunning 1988 Mercedes 300SL. Being a 500SL R107 owner myself I have a real soft spot for this model. In my opinion, one of the coolest cars to own, as an everyday run around or a show winner. Like many classics, over the years we have witness a gradual rise in rarity and value on the R107, thanks to the increase in market value of the previous models.

Let’s discuss our latest addition. The 300SL was introduced at the September 1985 Frankfurt Motor Show, the ultimate six-cylinder derivative of Mercedes-Benz’s renowned R107 series. Sharing the same two-door monocoque bodyshell, all-round independent coil-sprung suspension and power-assisted steering as its V8 brethren it proved notably more fuel efficient. Fitted with a four-speed automatic transmission as standard, it further benefited from improved anti-corrosion treatment and ABS brakes. Only in production between 1985 and 1989, just 13,443 300SLs are thought to have been despatched worldwide.

Our stunning 300SL was delivered new by Mercedes-Benz main dealer Callanders of Glasgow to Cheshire Products Ltd on the 18th of March 1988.

It stayed with the company as a director’s vehicle for six years before passing into the hands of its second owner, a Mr Ian Jeffery, on the 25th March 1994. Mr Jeffery clearly liked the car as he kept it for the next 24 years.

The previous owner, Mr Martin Mitchell, acquired the Mercedes on the 25th of May 2018. Finished in Nautical Blue Metallic with a contrasting Cream leather interior, this Mercedes roadster is fitted with an automatic transmission and comes with its original factory hardtop.

The overall condition of this classic 300SL is very good and stamps in the Service Booklet together with the old MOTs and the invoices on file seem to support the 85,611 miles currently showing on the odometer. The current vendor has in recent times spent well over £15,000 with a reputable specialist to recommission the Mercedes and bring it up to its current lovely condition. Ready to hit the road in style for some summertime cruising.

Also new to us here at Bridge Classic Cars is something really special. 1 of just 142 cars made to celebrate the Morgan 4/4 entering its seventy-first year of production.

1 of only two ‘1952’ examples complete with appropriately numbered steering wheel and St Christopher Plaque.

Ford Duratec 1800cc DOHC engine and five-speed manual transmission. Well maintained with a large history file. Entering its seventy-first year in 2006, the Morgan 4/4 was already well established as the world’s longest-running production model. To celebrate, the Malvern manufacturer commissioned a run of 142 ‘70th Anniversary Edition’ cars (two per build year). Each decade was given its own ‘identity’ in terms of paint colours, soft-top designs and upholstery etc. Although, every ‘70th Anniversary Edition’ featured a fold-flat windscreen, bespoke dashboard, sheepskin bonnet strap, rubber mats and steel wheels with chrome hubcaps not to mention a St Christoper badge and wood-rim Moto Lita steering wheel both of which were inscribed with the model year it represented. Mechanically identical to a standard Morgan 4/4 1800, the ‘70th Anniversary Edition’ cars were powered by a Ford Duratec 1800cc DOHC four-cylinder engine allied to five-speed manual transmission. Among Morgan’s most sought after limited edition models, the ‘70th Anniversary Edition’ cars still enjoy a strong following.

One of the two ‘1952’ cars, chassis 4L00134 is finished in the stunning combination of Duck Egg Blue with Black leather upholstery and Dark Blue weather equipment. Supplied new via Thomson & Potter of Perth, ‘SH06 NKR’ had covered some 11,988 miles by the time it entered the current (second) ownership during October 2020. Built to commemorate the year that Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II took the throne.

Fitting Dash

Over the weekend, John finished wiring in the dash of our 2022 Bridge C-Type Replica.

He also fitted the Brantz system and trial-fitted the switches and gauges to help find the best location for each one.

Henry Royce – Rolls-Royce

“Henry Royce’s life followed a truly extraordinary arc. From impoverished origins and with minimal formal education, he became a giant of 20th Century engineering and innovation, responsible for designs and technology that helped shape the world we live in now. But this classic rags-to-riches tale belies the complexity of the man, and understates the many challenges he faced during his remarkable life. After 120 years, his influence on the marque he co-founded remains powerful and pervasive; he literally made us who we are today.”
Andrew Ball, Head of Corporate Communications and Heritage, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars

Frederick Henry Royce was born on 27 March 1863 in Alwalton, near Peterborough. He was the youngest of five children in a family with extreme financial problems. After Henry’s father was declared bankrupt, he was put in prison (as was the law at the time!) Growing up in this situation had a deep affect on Royce’s character and health for the rest of his life.

Starting Work

When he was just 10 years old, Henry began working as a newspaper seller in London before later moving into a role as a telegram delivery boy. In 1877, with financial support from his aunt, he became an apprentice at the Great Northern Railway (GNR) workshops in Peterborough. It was here that his natural aptitude for design and working with his hands became clear. A set of three miniature wheelbarrows he made out of brass were early signs of the high standards he would set for himself and others throughout his career.

Just two years after starting his apprenticeship, his aunt ran into money troubles too. This left Henry unable to pay his annual apprenticeship fee. After returning to London, he began working for the Electric Lighting & Power Generating Company (EL&PG). Back then, electricity was still so new that it had no professional institutions, and therefore no formal examinations or entry qualifications. For someone like Henry Royce, who had only the most basic schooling, this was extremely fortunate.

Moving Up (And Down Again)

His fascination for the subject, intense work ethic, and commitment to improving himself (he attended evening classes in English and Maths after work) meant that in 1882, the EL&PG, by now renamed the Maxim-Weston Electric Company, sent him to manage the installation of street and theatre lighting in Liverpool. When the company abruptly collapsed, Royce, still only 19, again found himself unemployed.

In late 1884, Henry founded F H Royce & Co in Manchester. Initially producing small items such as battery-powered doorbells, the company progressed to making overhead cranes, railway shunting capstans and other heavy industrial equipment.

By 1901, the years of hard work and a less-than-ideal home life were taking a severe toll on Royce’s health, which had probably been permanently weakened by the struggles of his childhood. Things got even worse the following year when the company found its finances stretched. This was mainly due to the influx of cheaper imported electrical machinery that undercut its prices. As he was such a perfectionist, Royce was not prepared to compromise the quality of his products, but this extra stress meant that, in 1902, his health took a big dive!


The Break That Changed Automotive History

Royce’s doctors prescribed complete rest and persuaded him to take a 10-week holiday with his wife’s family in South Africa. On the long journey, he read a newly published book, ‘The Automobile – Its Construction and Management’. What he learned would change his life – and ultimately, the automotive world.

On his return to England, Royce purchased his first car, a French-built 10 H.P. Decauville. It is said that this first car was so poorly made and unreliable that Royce decided he could do better. In fact, his holiday reading had already made up his mind that he was going to produce his own car. He chose the Decauville because it was one of the finest cars available to him, in order to dismantle it and then, in his most famous phrase, ‘take the best that exists and make it better’.

He began by building three two-cylinder 10 H.P. cars, based on the Decauville layout. With these foundational machines, he demonstrated the analytical approach, attention to detail and pursuit of excellence in design and manufacture that would go on to define his life.

Rolls-Royce

His friend and business associate, Henry Edmunds, borrowed one of these original Royce 10H.P. cars to compete in the 1,000-mile Slide Slip Trials organised by the Automobile Club of Great Britain & Ireland (later the Royal Automobile Club, or RAC) in April 1904. Edmunds was enormously impressed and realised this was precisely the high-quality, British-made model that a friend and fellow Club member was looking for to stock in his new London car dealership. That friend was, of course, The Hon Charles Stewart Rolls.

As the technical mastermind behind the new partnership, Royce’s output was astounding. From the company’s foundation in 1904 until his death in 1933, he personally created the initial concept for every mechanical item in every Rolls-Royce car. An instinctive, intuitive engineer, he had an unmatchable ability to assess components purely by eye. He firmly believed that if something looked right, it probably was – and he was almost always proved correct.

As demand grew, and the cars themselves became increasingly complex, he established a design team, led by his motto, ‘Rub out, alter, improve, refine’. Everything the team produced would then either be rejected and sent back for more work or finally signed off, by Royce alone. In contrast to modern motor manufacturing, where models are introduced, updated and replaced at defined intervals, Royce made continuous improvements to his products, without any announcement or notice. Some of these improvements were tiny, but the impact of these changes was that almost no two Rolls-Royce motor cars were exactly alike in every detail.

It is worth noting that Henry Royce never actually designed a complete car. Up to 1949, Rolls-Royce produced only a ‘rolling chassis’, equipped with an engine and drivetrain, upon which a specialist coachbuilder built the bodywork to the customer’s specification. The rolling chassis did, however, include the bulkhead and the radiator, which determined, at least in part, the finished car’s overall proportions.

Henry Royce was meticulous in his work and had an inquisitive mind that made him strive for perfection. His work and his ethos have outlived him and, to this day, his legacy lives on in every Rolls-Royce made.

Into Storage

Our 1968 Lotus Elan has been safely transported to our secure storage facility.

It will now be looked after in the company of other impressive cars.

Motorbike Inspections

Paul has begun his inspection and assessment of 2 of our recently arrived motorbikes – our 1960 BSA 650 and our 1961 Matchless 350.

On the Matchless 350, he cleaned out the carbs and fitted a new spark plug before taking it out on a test ride.


He then moved on to assess the BSA which he found to start and run ok.
