The time recently arrived for us to say goodbye to our 1958 Jensen 541R. This beautiful classic car came to us from Holland and spent a few months with us while our team of classic car technicians bought it back to life. It leaves us looking very different to how it looked when it first […]

As much as electric cars have gained in popularity in recent years, a key issue that has put some people off from making the switch over is their long charge times. Hyundai has come up with the next generation of more environmentally-friendly hydrogen-powered cars in the form of the new Hyundai Nexo. Technically, the Nexo […]
Newly listed on MyClassics.co.uk is a 1970 Land Rover Series IIA. It is in need of some restoration work but it will no doubt be up and running again with a little bit of attention given to it.

Classic car technician Brian has made a new glovebox for our 1992 Rover Mini Cooper 1.3. He did this by first making the patterns he needed from cardboard.

Since returning from the sandblasters, the chassis of our 1956 Jensen 541 has spent some time in our paint shop being painted. It’s not very often that you see the chassis of a car in this state so it’s always interesting to see this stage of restoration work.
Classic car technician Jon has been investigating a leak on our 1972 Rover 4500S. The leak was found to be coming from a hose to the radiator.

Our 1977 Triumph Spitfire came into the workshop for the team to investigate some running issues it was experiencing.

The interior trim of our 1978 MGB GT has had new hardboard panels made. The finish of the new panels goes a long way in making this classic car look refined and very appealing. The badges of the car have also been undergoing refurbishment. Seemingly small tasks like this do a great job of bringing […]
A little over a year ago, we said goodbye to our 1972 Chevron B20. Everyone here at Bridge Classic Cars loved this formula 2 car and, although we were happy it was going to a new owner, there was still quite a bit of sadness to see this very special car leave us. However, today […]

The classic car technicians here at Bridge Classic Cars spend their days working on a wide range of classic vehicles.
