Our Jensen 541R Interior

May 7, 2020

Our 1957 and 1960 Jensen 541R interiors have completely taken over our trim shop as Brian and Kath return to work.

They get straight into the rebuild of our Jensen interiors and as you can see, a lot of the original components are beyond repair so many new templates are being made using the original patterns.

The Jensen rear quarter are being remade using new boarding and foam padding before being recovered in black leather.

The original leather work has been stripped, removed and being replaced with brand new material.

1989 E30 BMW 325 Completed

May 6, 2020

We finished work on this lovely E30 BMW a few months ago but have only just got around to photographing it out in the sun.

The car came in for a general recommission. In essence, doing everything the vehicle needs to get back on the road whilst making a few cosmetic improvements. Looking a little worse for wear, there were several major pieces of mechanical and cosmetic restoration to undertake with this project.

The car has had rust repairs, fabrication and been undersealed. It’s also needed a new fuel tank, fuel filter, new disks and pads and full brake service, new stainless steel exhaust and a variety of smaller mechanical components.

Darren has done a fabulous job freshening up the paintwork of this lovely E30 and our Classic Car Technicians (mainly Pete) have ensured it’s mechanically ready to be put back on the road and enjoyed.

Coming soon: 1976 Triumph Spitfire 1500 with Overdrive

May 2, 2020

Joining the Bridge Classic Cars family early next week we have our beautiful 1976 Triumph Spitfire 1500 with overdrive, finished in Damson red.

If you are looking for a lovely tax and mot exempt spitfire then look no further, with an absolute fortune spent on maintaining her!!

The spitfire has been very well restored, looks stunning and sounds amazing. Perfect for a first classic if you are starting to feel the hunger for owning a classic as the work has already been done and it’s ready to enjoy.

The interior is a nice place to be and has a dark walnut dash and Motolita steering wheel and has the added bonus of cloth Mazda MX5 seats for comfort and long journeys. Everything works, including the overdrive in 3rd and 4th. The soft top is excellent too with a zip out rear window.

Our Spitfire is sat on new Minilite wheels with polished lips and excellent tyres which, I am sure you’ll agree, set the car off just right to give it an even sportier look.

Here is a list of new parts detailed to us by the previous owner:

Full new bell twin  stainless exhaust

Stainless manifold

Full new suspension front and rear (fully adjustable)

Weber 45 carburettor 

Triumphtune inlet manifold

Stainless oil catch tank

Stainless heat panels 

Electronic ignition

Electric fuel pump and cut off

New minilite wheels 

New 4 pot brakes 

Motolita steering wheel 

Radiator 

Alloy rocker cover 

New wipers/mirrors

Door rubbers 

Burr walnut dashboard etc

Classic Car Weekly Feature – April 2020

April 27, 2020

The launch of Bridge Classic Cars Competitions has featured in Classic Car weekly.

Our story begins with one of our Classic Car Technician’s, Mauro.
Mauro won his dream car, whilst in a service station, by buying a ticket in a car giveaway competition. We saw what a life-changing effect winning his dream car had on Mauro so we thought, ‘How great would it be to offer a classic car enthusiast that very same feeling?’
This was when the idea of Bridge Classic Cars Competitions was born. For less than a tenner and very realistic odds one lucky winner will be driving away in their dream classic car.

Our MGB Roadster winner will be drawn this Saturday. To keep up to date with all of our competitions, make sure to ‘Like’ us on Facebook.
