A Rare Sight – Our 2002 Alpina B10 V8S is now live!
December 15, 2023
Some marques offer rarity, luxury, or performance but very few offer all of these in one single form. One of those, is Alpina. Combining comfort, pace and exclusivity into a beautifully engineered road car is what Alpina have been doing for over 50 years in cars like this, our 2002 Alpina B10 V8S.
With just 145 2002 B10 V8S’s made worldwide this Bavarian Bruiser is a rare sight but with only 42 right hand drive cars made and believed to be one of only 6 remaining in the UK, this is car number 76 of the entire production run and is known within the Alpina Register.
Alpina have been connected to BMW since the early 1960s, gaining a reputation for crafting hand built, fast and sophisticated luxury cars. With bespoke packages for their clients, each car is individual and unique to their owner.
Not to be confused with the 4.6-litre ‘Standard’ B10, our V8S features a 4.8-litre V8 made specifically for this car. At Alpina’s facility in Buckloe, Germany their team of engineers increase the capacity of the base BMW engine for the B10 to produce more torque rather than making it a big horsepower car.
With stunning metallic silver paintwork and a sophisticated and luxurious grey leather interior, our B10 V8S has the good looks to match its performance completed with the signature 20 spoke ‘hollow’ wheels.
Supplied new by Sytner BMW in Nottingham on the 8th of July 2002, our B10 V8S’s history file contains multiple invoices from BMW main dealers throughout its life as well as some work being carried out by independent specialists.
Seeing Your E-Type For The First Time
December 15, 2023
When Robert Alfonso was drawn as the lucky winner of our Jaguar E-Type through Bridge Classic Cars Competitions, its restoration wasn’t quite finished.
As the competition sold out more than a month early, there was still some work to be done before the car was ready to be delivered. However, so Robert didn’t have to wait any longer, we invited him to the workshop so he could finally get to see his E-Type.
The video below shows the moment he saw his beautiful car for the very first time!
The Wheels Are On
December 15, 2023
The wheels have been put on our Ford Transit MKII Tipper.
Once they were back on, a team of technicians (and some marketing folk too!) moved it from one ramp to another, ready for the next stage of its restoration to begin.
Moving it wasn’t quite as simple as you might expect though, as the steering wheel was unable to be fitted, as Steve is still waiting for some parts to arrive before that can go back on.
As much as he would normally wait for the steering wheel to be fitted before moving the Tipper, unfortunately, the parts required are still a couple of weeks away so, despite being more challenging than we hoped, it was moved onto its new ramp and work will continue to bring this classic Transit back to life.
Steve has also started to fit up the front and rear brakes and suspension.
Stephen Norman Talks about Our MGB Roadster Restoration

We recently had a visit from a long-term friend and customer of Bridge Classic Cars, Stephen Norman, the ex-boss of Vauxhall and a walking encyclopedia of British automotive history.
We have been working on our 1970 MGB Roadster and, while having a closer look at the progress of his 1976 Triumph Spitfire that is currently in the workshop, Stephen spotted our MGB and had a few things to say about it.
As one of the people who actually saw the MG Midget and MGB rolling off the production lines at the Abingdon factory, Stephen’s thoughts are always amazing to hear.
Take a look at the video below and see what Stephen had to say.
2 Competition Cars
December 14, 2023
Two of our competition cars have been under the care of classic car technician Jonn recently.
First up is our 1984 Ferrari 308 GTSi, which is currently live on the Bridge Classic Cars Competitions website. Jonn has now fitted the new front and rear number plates in preparation for our classic Ferrari to be won in the new year.
Jonn has also been completing the pre-delivery inspection of our 2015 Jaguar F-Type which will soon be delivered to the lucky winner and new owner, after winning this beautiful car on Tuesday.
Suspension And Plating
December 14, 2023
Classic car technician Rob has been refitting the front suspension to our 1976 Triumph Spitfire.
Rob has also cleaned, sandblasted, and replated all of the parts for the steering and suspension that were initially plated. These are now ready for reassembly.
MGB Roadster Engine Work
December 14, 2023
Classic car technician Jonn has carried out a diagnosis for number 7 valve clearance that keeps increasing on our 1970 MGB Roadster. He removed the inlet manifold to gain better access to the engine side covers. He then removed the rear side cover.
Jonn slackened the tappets for number 7 and removed the push rod. He was unable to remove the cam follower from the block. He suspected that the follower was worn and “mushroomed”, making it impossible to remove from the top. As a result, Jonn decided to remove the engine to ease the removal of the follower from the underside of the engine. Fluids were drained and the engine was removed and mounted on an engine stand.
The sump was removed and Jonn found small fragments of metal inside. He continued to strip the engine so he was able to remove the camshaft and access the worn follower. He removed the distributor, removed the oil pump and the cam locking plate. The camshaft and number 7 follower were removed and, as Jonn suspected, the cam follower was badly worn and the number 7 cam lobe was also badly worn. New cam and followers are required.
Jonn cleaned parts ready for refitting. Due to the metal fragments in the sump, he thought it prudent to strip the oil pump and clean it. He then inspected the inside for scoring etc. The oil pump looked fine.
The engine was packed with build grease and rebuilt. The block and mating surfaces were cleaned and the cam bearings were inspected. Number 1 cam bearing was showing slight scoring. Jonn will check the tolerance when the new camshaft arrives. In the meantime, Jonn has blown out the oilways and covered the engine until the required parts arrive.
Jonn finished cleaning engine parts in preparation. He also cleaned the engine bay and inner wings/cross member. The gearbox bell housing was cleared out and Jonn visually inspected the thrust bearing, which looked ok.
The Strip Down Makes Big Progress
December 14, 2023
The mechanical strip out of our 1953 Aston Martin DB2/4 has started at the rear of the car. The tailgate, lights, spare wheel carrier and fuel tank have all been removed. Classic car technician James actually found some of the original black paint on the car too!
The dashboard and clocks have also been stripped out ready for refurbishment. James made sure that the wiring was labelled for reference and pictures were taken to aid in reassembly later on.
Brian and Lydia have also been working on the interior of our rare Aston. They removed the old covers from the front seats before going on to remove the foam and runners as well. The seats from this vehicle were in fairly bad condition and did not want to come apart easily. Lydia ended up grinding away a lot of the screw heads to be able to remove the seat back from the base. She then cleaned up the interior dash cubby boxes and the door pockets too.
Brian removed the metal runners from the base of the seats, and the base foams. He then removed the carpet from the back of the squab seat, removed the old cover & foams, removed all side wood sections, removed frames, and cut out new side wood sections & new backboards.
Perhaps the most obvious change to our DB2/4 is that the body has now been removed. This is a big step in the strip down and the whole team is excited to see this beautiful car continue to make progress.
Distributor And Carburettor
December 13, 2023
Steve has been working on our Ford Transit MKII recently.
After the distributor, carburettor, alternator mount thermostat housing, and inlet manifold were vapour blasted, Steve zinc plated the parts required ready for assembly.
The carburettor and distributor have been reconditioned and reassembled ready to be fitted back to the engine.

A Change Of Plan
December 13, 2023
Work is well underway on our 1975 Cobra project. However, the plans have changed slightly as the owner of the car changed their mind about what colour they want their car finished in.
While, originally, our Cobra was going to be painted blue, its final colour will now be Candy Apple Red. Chris, from the Bridge Classic Cars paintshop, will now make a spray-out card and work will continue on the restoration of this incredible classic.
Mauro has also been looking at our Cobra as he has been removing the gearbox.

All Sustainable Fuel Race Schedule Confirmed For The 2024 Goodwood Revival
December 13, 2023
At the 2024 Goodwood Revival, all of the races taking place will only involve cars running on sustainable fuel. This follows this year’s Fordwater Trophy which was sustainably-fuelled.
Goodwood will require all competitors at next year’s event to power their vehicles with a fuel that contains at least 70% sustainable components. This is in accordance with the FIA’s current requirements for sustainable fuel. Goodwood has already seen its first sustainably-fuelled winner in the Rudge-Whitworth Cup at the 2023 Revival. This came from a 1925 Bentley Speed Model being driven by Ben Collings and Gareth Graham, who won against a field of cars running on standard fuel.
As well as its first sustainably-fuelled winner, this year’s Revival also held its first sustainably-fuelled race. This featured pre-1966 Porsche 911s that competed in the Fordwater Trophy. Drivers in the race included 2009 Formula 1 World Champion Jenson Button, Goodwood Hillclimb record-holder Max Chilton, and nine-time Formula 1 winner Mark Webber.

A Very Happy Reunion
December 13, 2023
Today was a big day as the owner of our 1974 Volkswagen Beetle, affectionately known as Delilah, was reunited with her car after its time here at Bridge Classic Cars came to an end.
Delilah looked incredible in her very special, roped-off area of The Atelier. Her paint shone under the lights and the full scope of the work completed by the workshop team was clear to see. The restoration of this classic Beetle took several months but, as you can see from the photos below, it was well worth the wait to see it in its finished state and ready to go home.
Since entering the Bridge Classic Cars workshop, our 1974 Beetle has been stripped, had areas of rust repaired, it has been repainted, rebuilt, a new interior fitted, and lots of other tasks that have brought the car back to its former glory.
Gordon spent some time going through all the changes made and was very proud to show off the work of our team.
In a few days, we will deliver the car back to its owner and, although we will be sad to see it go, we are all very excited to see Delilah back home and ready for many more years on the road!
A Day At Auction
December 13, 2023
Bridge Classic Cars Directors, Craig and Gordon recently attended the Classic Car Auctions (CCA) Christmas Sale, held on December 9th at the Warwickshire Event Centre near Leamington Spa. The auction included several iconic Fords, from restoration projects to immaculately preserved classics, as well as more than 100 other vehicles.
Classic Car Auctions (CCA) have proved themselves as a premier platform for bringing top-tier classic and fast Fords to the market. With the ever-growing interest in these pieces of automotive history, CCA’s Christmas Sale certainly caught the eye of car enthusiasts and collectors from all over the country.
After spending time taking a close look at the cars available on the viewing day, Craig and Gordon spotted several vehicles that they were interested in bringing home with them.
Auction Success
Once the auction got underway, both Directors began placing bids. A number of these were successful and, as a result, multiple vehicles are on their way to the Bridge Classic Cars workshop. While there are certainly some competition cars within their purchases, they were also lucky enough to become the new owners of cars for their own personal collection too.
Whether it was a car Craig wanted to own when he first passed his test but was unable to afford, or a stunning classic that Gordon couldn’t resist, all of the cars making their way to us are exciting additions to the workshop.
Goodbye And Thank You
December 11, 2023
As the saying goes, all good things must come to an end.
It’s with a mix of emotions that we recently said goodbye to Tom, who has taken on a new role outside of Bridge Classic Cars. Tom has been an integral part of the team for a significant period and his departure marks the end of an era here at the workshop.
There wasn’t really a single job title that matched what Tom did on a daily basis. Although his role primarily involved transporting cars, he actually did far more than this. He had the skills to work on a range of classic vehicles, and his talents even extended to our e-commerce projects, where he helped sell parts online.
Tom’s departure leaves a gap that will be challenging to fill. However, we are extremely happy that Tom has found an exciting opportunity that will take him into the next stage of his career.
From all of us here at Bridge Classic Cars, we would like to say a massive thank you to Tom for all he has done and we wish him the very best in all his future endeavours.
A Classic Christmas Advert
December 11, 2023
A few weeks ago, I threw the idea out to the team here at Bridge Classic Cars that we should make our very own Christmas advert. With the likes of John Lewis, Aldi, Coca-Cola, and numerous other big names putting out some incredible festive ads over the last few years, I thought we had the capability to do the same.
As great as the popular Christmas Adverts are, we felt that there was one thing missing from pretty much all of them – a classic car. After a bit of time brainstorming, our 1968 Morris 1000 Pickup caught our eye and, alongside Molly, was chosen to be the star of our festive film.
The Story Of Our Christmas Advert
In our Christmas advert, Molly goes on an adventure into a wintery forest to find the perfect Christmas tree for The Atelier at Bridge Classic Cars.
As Molly walks through the forest, she explores her surroundings, searching for that one special tree that would stand amongst our classic cars throughout December. Once she finds one that fits her criteria, she calls upon the help of our classic Morris Pickup.
After loading the tree into the back of our Morris 1000 Pickup, Molly drives away from the forest on her way back to the workshop, where we were all patiently waiting for her arrival so we could officially start our Christmas celebrations.
Classic Cars At Christmas
Beyond the stunning visuals of our Christmas advert lies the love and passion we all have for classic vehicles. We believe that Christmas is about family and spending time with those that you love. We thought we would show you how, to us at least, a car isn’t just a machine to get you from A to B; it can be a big part of your family and they can have their very own personality.
With the release of our festive film, Christmas has begun at Bridge Classic Cars. There are only a couple of weeks left before the big day, so the entire team would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and we look forward to seeing even more of you in 2024.
Coming soon – 1989 Daimler Double Six
December 11, 2023
This may be the first time you have seen our 1989 Daimler Double Six. The car has in fact been with us, in storage, for a number of years now but recently we handed the car over to our good friends at Motts Body Repair in Colchester to push forward with the body restoration of this beautiful machine.
This will eventually return to us for a full recommission before we decide what we will do with the car.
If you would like to see our Double Six as a future competition car then do let us know.
Double Aston Martin Day For Brian
December 8, 2023
…and they say men can’t multitask! Brian’s day has been spent on 1953 Aston Martin’s today. He started off sorting out all interior parts, labelling up, bagging up all of the small parts of the Aston martin DB2/4 Drophead Coupe.
Swiftly followed by work on our other 1953 Aston Martin DB2/4. He’s a little further forward with the interior of this one as he fits new clips to the door panels, cutting out foam, gluing the foam to boards, trimming the foam to size, cutting and gluing the leather to the door panels, gluing and trimming onto the back of the boards as well as turning the leather around the pocket holes.
Jensen Boot Floor Plate
December 8, 2023
Rob is back into the swing of things now as he makes and fits an access plate to cover the fuel tank sender unit.
He has fitted up the interior door handles to both doors, repainted motif on gear knob and fitted to car.
The fuel tank breather pipe has been fitted to the tank and run out of boot floor.
He’s made up and fitted an alloy bracket to hold a new charging socket. Wire up and fit inside glove box.

The Mince Pie Drive
December 8, 2023
On 1st December 2023, we set off on a festive adventure across the Suffolk countryside – our first-ever Mince Pie Drive. The day dawned bright but extremely cold and icy. We decided to still venture out, albeit with a smaller convoy than first planned. The Bridge Classic Cars team wrapped up warm and headed out (special mention goes to our friends Garry Catchpole and Derek Rush for joining us).
The idea behind our Mince Pie Drive was to take classic cars to several local residential care homes to bring nostalgia and festive cheer to the residents and staff. There were mince pies, kindly provided by The Bakehouse Bakery Woodbridge, and carol singing from Molly and me (sorry about that folks!)
We went first to Highlands in Woodbridge before making our way to Bucklesham Grange Care Home, where we were greeted by the lovely Amanda-Jane Frank, who introduced us to the residents. Several came out to have a look at our cars, with Derek’s BMW proving to be a favourite here. Luke Deal from BBC Suffolk came along to chat with us and see what we were up to. You can listen to that interview here.
Next, we headed to Glebe House in Hollesley. The residents were just having their lunch, and talk about a meal with a view! The mince pies were a very welcome dessert! Lastly, whilst chasing the last hour of daylight, we popped to our neighbours at Lehmann House in Wickham Market.
We are so humbled by all the lovely residents and incredible care workers we met on our Mince Pie Drive. It was so wholesome to be able to remind them of yesteryear by bringing along a spectrum of cars. There really was something for everyone.
We can’t wait to do more events like this in future.
Amphicar Trim Fitted
December 8, 2023
The side mouldings have now been fitted, this involved James making the tapered ends and ensuring they were a snug fit and secured in place to the back of the trims before being fitted to the car. Then the centre seats were cut to length and fitted after all the fixings were checked and sealed.
Aston Martin DB2/4 Drophead Coupe Stripdown
December 8, 2023
Brian has begun work on stripping down our 1955 Aston Martin Drophead Couple. He has removed the rear boot panels, the rear seat base and door panels. The cappings and door pockets have been taken out and the sill carpets. The carpets under the dash, the dash top panels and window surround panels are all now out.
The project will be a big part of our diary for 2024 but heading up to Christmas we have a few weeks to really get started on the strip down.
MGC GT repair work…
December 8, 2023

The internal joints have also been seam sealed and are now ready for colour.
Fabricating various small components for our Jensen 541
December 8, 2023
Rob returns to work this week, having taken a extended break to recover from some recent surgery.
He gets straight back on to our Jensen 541R as we finish off this fantastic restoration. He has fabricated a bracket for mounting a battery cut off switch in the boot. Fitted a bracket and switch to car. Made new earth leads to run from the battery to the switch and the switch to the chassis. Make up a wire to connect the horn button to the steering column. Fit steering wheel and horn push and test. Fit an extra throttle return spring and make and fit a bracket to attach the spring to the engine.
