Last night the live draw of the 1957 MG A Roadster and the 1997 Rover Mini from Bridge Classic Cars. The Mini was so popular it had sold out by Wednesday morning! Going into the live draw though, there were still quite a few tickets remaining on the classic MGA. But, as the live stream […]

What’s the Story? – Why the MG A is a Sports Car Icon

Seeing as how our 1957 MG A Roadster is going to be won tomorrow, we thought we would take a look at some interesting facts about the MG A and why it is so important in the world of sports cars. Firstly, the MG A was born with motorsports at its heart. In the years […]

Loose Edges – Sticking Down the Loose Trims in the 1957 MG A Roadster

The Bridge Classic Cars trim team have also focused on the trims in the 1957 MGA Roadster in our workshop. Over the years, several of the leather-wrapped trim panels in the classic sports car have begun to loose their adhesive and curl round to the front of the panels or began to fall away from […]

Rebound – New Binding on the Carpets of the 1957 MG A Roadster

The trim team at Bridge Classic Cars have worked their magic on the interior carpet in 1957 MG A Roadster. The carpet set on the 1957 MG A had areas where the binding had begun to separate and fray quite badly. So, our in-house trim team have stepped in to get it looking better. The […]

1957 MGA visits our workshops

We had a visit today from a beautiful 1957 MGA. Gordon was on hand to look over the work that we are hoping to carry out. This will be a possible re-paint in 2019 to get on top of a couple of imperfections that are starting to appear.  

Collecting an old friend

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Today, we were being reunited with a old friend of Bridge Classic Cars, our 1957 MGA that we restored last year. Mr and Mrs Fry have reluctantly decided to sell her and thankfully for us we were notified prior to it being advertised to see whether we would be interested in taking back the keys…we […]

Our 1957 MGA Pre Bridge Classic Cars

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Prior to Bridge Classic Cars collecting the keys to our lovely 1957 MGA, the previous owner had lovingly documented the work that had be carried out.

Mr and Mrs Fry’s first weekend out in their 1957 MGA

It was only a few weeks ago we waved goodbye to our beautiful 1957 MGA but it seems it’s already settled in with new owners, Mr and Mrs Fry. As we were gifted with a wonderful weekend of sunshine it seems everyone was out enjoying themselves, we saw plenty of classics on the road ourselves […]

Welcome…the brand new MGA roof

It’s been a very busy day today at Bridge Classic Cars, busy but very fulfilling. It was the day Asa and Tommy fitted set to task fitting the brand new roof to the MGA. I, on the other hand, had a busy day in front of the computer. Amazingly I heard no swearing coming from the […]

MGA final preparation for paint

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The MGA was bought as a part restored. The paintwork we say at Bridge is “nice from afar but far from nice” and certainly not to our standard at Bridge Classic Cars. Our paint shop removed all the paint to bare metal and is in the final stages of preparation for re- painting.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”2493,2494,2495,2496,2497,2498,2499,2500,2501,2502″][/vc_column][/vc_row]
