Today, Bridge Classic Cars are at the Imperial War Museum, Duxford attending the latest H and H auction. There is a wide range of vehicles available and we are always excited to see which ones catch our eye. One of the cars being auctioned is our 1934 Riley 9 Lynx so we are particularly excited […]
Classic Car Technician Mauro has been continuing to put our 1987 Volvo 240GL back together. He has put the newly repaired and painted mud flaps back on, which are looking great. Mauro also put the Volvo and the 240GL badges on as well as applying the appropriate warning sticker under the bonnet. This classic car […]
Bridge Classic Cars Director Craig was once again interviewed on the radio. This time it was by James Hazel on Gen X Radio.

Bridge Classic Cars Director Craig was recently interviewed on BBC Radio Suffolk. He was part of a live feature on Mark Murphy’s show where he talked about what we do, plans for the future, as well as sharing the story of how Bridge Classic Cars came to be. He even spoke about how some of […]
Lydia has once again been busy working on some of the interior components of our 1954 Bristol 405. This time, her attention turned to the front seat base faces. Lydia first made a vinyl draft so she was able to check the sizing of the flutes. She then went on to mark out the leather […]
Our 1979 Arrow Ferrari Daytona continues to make progress through its restoration journey. Recently, Lydia has been working on covering the glovebox door that Scott had made previously. She did this by making a paper pattern before sewing a vinyl template to check the sizing was correct. Lydia went on to make the cover out […]
A big name is entering the world of electric vehicles, with Rolls-Royce saying that delivery of the all-electric Spectre will begin towards the end of 2023. Don’t be fooled into thinking this is a lightweight, less luxurious Rolls-Royce though. The Spectre has a kerb weight of 2975kg and comes with all the style and luxury […]
Your chance to become the new owner of our 1981 MGB GT LE is here. Entry has just opened for this classic car and you can now get your tickets for the draw. Our last MGB GT LE proved to be extremely popular so it’s probably best not to wait too long to get your […]
At our live triple draw on Thursday 6th October, Chris Mann was randomly selected as the lucky winner of our 1970 MG C Roadster. It must have been a great feeling for Chris when he heard his number, 3027, being announced as the winning ticket. We delivered this very special classic car to its new […]

If you are looking for a truly interesting vehicle, then you’ll love our 2005 Suzuki Every. Don’t be fooled by the bright colours and the Volkswagen branding, this really is a Suzuki Every that has been highly customised to be a replica of the legendary VW campervan. With air-conditioning, a reversing camera, and an extremely […]
Our 1972 Jaguar E-Type V12 Series 3 had an American emissions system installed which classic car technician Paul has been working to remove. He also serviced the car to make sure it will be in the best condition possible when it gets back out on the road.
Our workshop team think about every part of the vehicle they are restoring. For example, classic car technician Alan has been giving his attention to the mud flaps of our 1987 Volvo 240GL. Alan repaired the mud flaps before painting them in textured satin black. Our classic Volvo has come a long way since it […]
Another beautiful classic car has arrived at the Bridge Classic Cars workshop. This time it is our 1959 Jaguar XK150 that has come in to be prepped for an MOT. While classic cars older than 40 years are exempt from needing an MOT, it can be reassuring to have them put through their paces to […]
As much as we don’t particularly want to sell our 1969 Mercedes 220, unfortunately, our storage facility is about to undergo some changes so a lot of our personal projects need to find a new home. This is a beautiful classic car that will no doubt be a lot of fun for its new owner. […]
After discovering that our 1999 Vauxhall Omega had some issues with rust, the workshop team got to work on resolving them. With rust beginning to be a thing of the past for this car, work continues to get it back out on the road.
Our 1969 Morris Minor 1000 Convertible has a new carpet! Lydia cut and shaped the underlay before glueing it into the car. She then cut and fit the new carpet on top of this. She also did some work on some of the components that will hold the front seats in place. Lydia sandblasted these […]
Classic car technician Alan has once again been repairing and replacing parts of the fibreglass body of our 1956 Jensen 541. He ground back the cracks in the bonnet before covering it in a new sheet of fibreglass. In addition to this, Alan also reinforced all the bonnet supports as they were weak and loose. […]
Another classic car has arrived at the Bridge Classic Cars workshop. All the way from America comes our 1976 Aston Martin AMV8. As always, it will now be checked over by our classic car technicians before a plan of action is put in place to get it back out on the road.
We always love a new arrival at the Bridge Classic Cars workshop and this one seems to be generating quite a bit of interest. Our 2008 Mercedes SL63 arrived earlier today and is now being prepared for its inspection and assessment by our classic car technicians. Once it has been looked at, a plan for […]
Our 1987 Volvo 240GL is being gradually put back together as each task is completed. Recently, the bumpers and the headlamps were cleaned before being refitted to the car. As everything is being reassembled and refitted, this classic car is starting to look as good as we knew it would.
When we launched our 1959 MGA Twin Cam on Bridge Classic Cars Competitions earlier this year, we knew that it was an extremely special car. The story of this classic car has been an interesting one from the start but it’s not quite over yet. Since being won by Peter Leyland, the car is still […]
Our 1981 Volkswagen Scirocco Storm is currently available to win in our latest Bridge Classic Cars Competitions. If you head over to the competitions website, you will see that there is a video, presented by Molly, and several photos showing this classic car in all its glory. What you won’t see though, is the hard […]
Our 1966 Ford Cortina GT 1500 may have only been in the workshop for a day or two but Brian has already given it some attention by replacing the door panels. It’s jobs like this that can make a big difference to the overall look and finish of a car. Our Cortina is in great […]
Colin Chapman, the late founder of Lotus, once came up with a great idea to put any lotus to the ultimate test. The idea was simple yet provided a challenge to both the car and the driver. You leave your desk when you finish work on a Friday afternoon and drive to Rome and back […]
Classic car technician Brian has continued his work on the interior floor of our 1958 Jensen 541R. After attaching the transmission tunnel cover, he then refitted the tunnel into the car before fitting the carpet. He then went on to fit the side panels, and refit the rear seat, before giving the new carpet a […]
There aren’t many people out there who haven’t owned or know someone who has owned a Ford Cortina. With millions of units sold during its production between 1962 and 1982, this car really is one to bring feelings of nostalgia and memories of good times. This is why we are excited that our 1966 Ford […]
Looking after a classic car brings some additional responsibilities than looking after a modern car. Something that you may not have considered is classic car storage. With a newer car, you’ll likely be driving it on a regular basis. However, with a classic, it may be parked up for extended periods of time – over […]
Perhaps one of the most recognisable cars out there, the Volkswagen Beetle is something of an icon selling more than 20 million units over its 80-year run. Recently listed on MyClassics.co.uk is a 1967 VW Beetle in rubinrot red. The current owner has had this classic car stored in their garage for the last couple […]
We recently put our 1960 Rover 80 up for sale. As much as we would have loved to see it fully restored in our workshop, unfortunately, our workload is just too much for it to become one of our current projects. We are very happy that a new owner has been found through MyClassics.co.uk and […]
