It’s fairly obvious that our 1940 Morris C8 Gun Tractor (Quad) is a very interesting vehicle. It is certainly very different to most of the other classic cars we have in the Bridge Classic Cars workshop. With that in mind, it makes sense that finding parts for it can be quite challenging. The water jacket […]
Progress has continued on our 1959 Jensen 541R over the last week. After previously painting the chassis, classic car technician Mauro continued his work painting various components that will eventually be re-attached to the newly painted chassis. While Mauro was painting, Brian continued work on the car’s interior. Although none of the interior components are […]
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 […]
Our 1970 Land Rover Series IIA recently sold on MyClassics.co.uk Despite needing some restoration work, it still runs and, with a bit of care and attention, it will be a very impressive vehicle again in the future. We will be sad to say goodbye to our Land Rover but we are pleased that a new […]
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 […]
Georgia Peck is the founder and owner of Aubrey Peck. She, like us, has a passion for classic cars and, through Aubrey Peck, helps other people enjoy classics as much as possible. We were very excited to ask Georgia some questions to get an insight into her business, her goals, and why she loves classic […]
Our 1959 Austin Healey has only been here at the Bridge Classic Cars workshop for a few days but it has already been the focus of classic car technician Steve. As the car is with us for recommissioning in preparation for its owner to drive it back home to Hampshire in the coming weeks, Steve […]
Our 1940 Morris Gun Tractor has been at the Bridge Classic Cars workshop for a little while now. As this is such a special (and interesting) vehicle to work on, it’s always exciting to see progress being made on this historic machine. The engine of this mammoth vehicle has begun the process of being stripped […]
Our 1998 Mercedes E240 is for sale! This is a beautiful car that has only covered 34,000 miles from new. Very little work was needed but we have painted the off-side rear door as the lacquer was slightly faded. We originally purchased our E240 from a good friend of Bridge Classic Cars to be part […]
Our 1985 Ferrari Mondial is now ready for its brand-new owner. It has been thoroughly checked and has been given the go-ahead from our workshop team that it can be put live on Bridge Classic Cars Competitions. Entry is now open so you can get your tickets to be in with a chance of winning […]
Imagine walking into an old barn and finding a classic car. Now imagine walking into an old barn and finding an extremely rare 1962 Aston Martin DB4. With only 1100 DB4s ever made, finding one in a barn is not something most of us will ever even dream of being fortunate enough to do. However, […]
Highlights of Drive It Day can be seen here. Bridge Classic Cars are pleased to be hosting a Drive It Day on Sunday 23rd April 2023. National Drive It Day was created by the Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs in 2005. It celebrates the 65 cars that attempted to drive 1000 miles from London […]

Stephen Paul was randomly selected as the lucky winner of this Dr Who related car with ticket number 525 in our live draw held on Thursday, 24th November 2022. Everyone at Bridge Classic Cars would like to congratulate Stephen again […]
It’s not every day that you get to see an amphibious car up close. However, we were lucky enough to do just that when a 1964 Amphicar 7-70 came to visit the Bridge Classic Cars workshop recently. This is a very interesting car and it will likely be returning to us very soon so we […]
We recently welcomed our 1957 Jensen 541R back into the Bridge Classic Cars workshop. It was only a short visit but our team of classic car technicians was still able to resolve a couple of issues the owner was experiencing. Classic car technician Dave turned his attention to resolving a rattle coming from the driver’s […]
