For the last few weeks, the interior of our 1958 Jensen 541R has been getting lots of attention from Lydia and Brian. Recently, Lydia turned her attention to the boot of the car – specifically, the boot carpet. After lots of measuring, cutting, making patterns, and double-checking everything, Lydia was able to get the boot […]
It’s mad to think that our incredible collaboration with Lotus and Community Sports Foundation, that saw Alex win the truly special and unique Lotus Elise Sport 240, was almost a year ago! Earlier today and we caught up with Sam and the team from CSF at their stomping ground to see Norwich City take on […]
Work has been completed on the inner wheel arch of our 1987 Volvo 240GL. This involved using seam sealant and adding an additional coating to the arch for added durability and toughness.

Classic car technician Rob has been making and fitting the new brake and fuel lines for our 1978 MGB GT. He also fitted the brake master cylinder, which brings the car one step closer to being able to get back out on the road. Other work continues on the MGB GT in the form of […]
Our 1960 Rover 80 came into our workshop after we took it on as one of our current projects from a previous customer. As much as we think this car has huge amounts of potential and will very likely go on to be a beautifully restored car, the time has come for it to leave […]
Not only has classic car technician Alan been busy repairing the fibreglass roof of our 1956 Jensen 541, but he has also been repairing a hole in the bonnet too. He repaired the inside first by attaching some meshing which would provide more support for the repair. Once the inside of the hole was sealed, […]
Our 1970 MG C Roadster has proven itself to be an extremely popular prize on Bridge Classic Cars Competitons. When the Roadster went live, it didn’t take long for all of the available tickets to sell out. Unfortunately, that means, if you haven’t got a ticket for our live draw yet, you won’t be able […]
The history of the Jensen 541 is an interesting story that goes all the way back to 1953. Before the release of the 541, Jensen Motors predominantly used aluminium to make the bodywork of their Interceptors. Interestingly, the boot lid of the Jensen Interceptor though was made from fibreglass. Fibreglass was not commonly used in […]
Our 1999 Rover BRM arrived at the Bridge Classic Cars Workshop with the incorrect aftermarket wheels fitted.

Brian and Lydia continue to work on the interior of our 1958 Jensen 541R. Lydia has been busy covering the remaining door card as well as covering the back of the rear squab with black vinyl to give it a neater and more appealing look. She also covered the metal frame that Clinton made, which […]

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 […]
Our 1956 Jensen 541 has been the target of our classic car technician’s attention as of late. Over the past few days, the bonnet has been repaired so that it now lines up beautifully with the doors, some body panels have been gapped and aligned, and a new layer of fibreglass has been added to […]
