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 […]
As our 1978 MGB GT continues to move through the restoration process, things are progressing well and more tasks have been ticked off the checklist.

The main body of our 1954 Bristol 405 has been transported to our workshop. Now it is here with the team, it can begin the next phase of its restoration. With work already done on the seats, it’s time to get the rest of the car in order so it can be one step closer […]
Our very rare 1981 Volkswagen Scirocco Storm has been inspected and assessed by the workshop team here at Bridge Classic Cars. We have just received the good news that it is ready to go and it can now be won in our latest competition. With so few of these cars still on the road, this […]
To get our 1975 Jensen Interceptor MK3 back on the road, some new body panels were needed. We now have these and they will soon be fitted to the car as it continues to move through its restoration journey. We found it very exciting to see the new panels sitting on the shell of the […]
Chris has been working on our 1986 Daimler DS420, putting on the epoxy primer ready for further painting. He first masked the car and gave it a final rub down before applying the primer. This will create a good base for the top coat of paint to bond to. It will also prevent corrosion and […]

On Sunday, the seafront at Felixstowe (just down the road from the Bridge Classic Cars Workshop in Suffolk), was treated to a display of supercars.

It’s been a little while since our 1969 Mercedes 280SL (Pagoda) left the Bridge Classic Cars workshop. After undergoing an engine rebuild with us, it left the workshop to be returned to its owner a few months ago. Since then, we have had some great feedback about the performance of the car and it sounds […]
We were recently featured in an article by the East Anglian Daily Times. The article covers the story of how Bridge Classic Cars came to be, what we do, and what we hope to achieve in the future. It also includes some great photos of the workshop as well as a detailed explanation of some […]
Today, Monday 10th October is World Mental Health Day. At Bridge Classic Cars, we are trying to build a community of classic car enthusiasts that can rely on each other for not only conversations about their vehicles, but also for support, friendship, companionship, and a listening ear when one is needed. Whether people watch our […]
