Our new 1972 Rover 4500S has arrived at the Bridge Classic Cars workshop. From the photos we had seen, and from talking to the previous owner, we knew that it would be a beautiful car to look at. We were surprised at just how good it actually looks face-to-face though. The new addition will be […]

Considering they were first fitted to the car all the way back in 1959, the newly refurbished brake calipers for our Jensen 541R are looking like they could have left the factory only yesterday. After removing them from the car, we sent the calipers off to Norfolk Brake and Clutch as they were in need […]

If you want to get technical about it, then a car becomes a classic car somewhere between the age of 15 and 40 years old (depending on who you ask!) However, classic cars are more than just old cars. They are special cars. Classic cars are timeless cars, and it seems unfair to label them […]
Soon to be arriving at the Bridge Classic Cars workshop is our new 1966 Land Rover 88. Once it arrives, our classic car technicians will put it through an in-depth inspection and assessment before the next step of its journey is planned out.

Classic Car Technician Scott has been busy building up the dash in our 1969 Morris Minor 1000 Convertible. Once he had finished this, he moved on to stripping the brakes so he could check they were in full working order.

As our classic car technicians know their classic cars so well, it’s quite common for previous cars that they have worked on to come back into the workshop for further work in the future. One car that has recently come back to the Bridge Classic Car workshop is our 1991 Nissan Figaro. After previous work […]
At Bridge Classic Cars, we make sure all of our restored cars look as good as new before they leave our Suffolk workshop.

Our 1987 Volvo 240GL has been spending some time being prepared for painting. It will ultimately be painted its original white colour.
