Our 1976 Aston Martin AMV8 will soon be headed for auction through our friends over at Car & Classic. Some of you may remember, this stunning left-hand drive example of the DB6 replacement came to us from the USA as a claret US spec car but over the course of the last 8 months has […]

Earlier today, we welcomed an extremely special classic car to the workshop – our 1939 Jaguar SS100. The SS100 was the successor to the SS90 and was given its name thanks to its top speed at the time of 100mph. It was one of the first cars to have independent front suspension and quickly became […]

We recently saw the arrival of our 1934 Morris Eight into the Bridge Classic Cars Workshop.

Our 1963 Bentley S3 Continental Coupe has recently arrived at the Bridge Classic Cars workshop.

Since the chassis of our 1960 Jensen 541R returned to the Bridge Classic Cars workshop, classic car technician Rob has been completing repairs.

More progress has been made on the restoration of our 1984 Suzuki GSX 400T. The switch has just arrived and is very flat across the top. The speedo pops up 20mm and has a convex glass so you don’t have to be over it to read it with a fully digital display. All of the […]
Rebuilding the engine of our 1954 Jaguar XK120 has begun which is an exciting part of the restoration. After dismantling the engine, it was noted that the head has severe corrosion close to and within the sealing part of the head. This means that it is not serviceable but, fortunately, we have a good replacement […]
