Our paint and body team have been working on the 1986 Fiat X19 to get this quirky 1980s sports car looking as good as possible.
Overall, the paintwork on the car is in very good condition but there were a few areas which needed the careful and skilled attention of our painter, Chris. Those areas were the front and rear bumpers as well as the removable roof panel. So, after rubbing them back Chris laid down several coats of thick, glossy, hard wearing black to rejuvenate these parts and get the car looking as good as new.

1981 Austin Allegro Vanden Plas
Clearly a stunning car, our Allegro looks to be in fantastic condition. Once it has had a check over by the workshop team, it will be going live ready to be won through Bridge Classic Cars Competitions.
1986 Fiat X1/9
Formerly part of the Robert Furniss Riding collection, our 1986 Fiat X1/9 has now made its way to us here at Bridge Classic Cars.
This will also be available to win through Bridge Classic Cars Competitions in the very near future.

Over the next couple of weeks we’ll see lots of new classics arriving at our workshops, all believed to be in fantastic condition so we are not expecting to have to carry out much work on these…but I’m sure they’ll be something!
First up, we have a super impressive Fiat X1/9 Bertone. First registered in 1986 the car was once part of a very well known collection of classic cars. The Robert Furniss Riding collection was featured quite heavily in the national press after Robert sadly passed away leaving his collection to H&H classic auction for it to be sold off, with all proceeds going to the RNLI.
The entire collection made over £1.4 million.
Part of the collection was his 1986 Fiat X1/9 Bertone but instead of this being sold off in auction, it was gifted to his friend who has been looking after it ever since.
Believed to be the only Vanden Plas in this colour combination. We believe the car requires very little work but we will put it through the workshops to get her tip top and ready for competition.
Finally, our beautifully restored 1972 MG B Roadster. This will most certainly be a popular one in our competitions. We all love an MG B Roadster and being so wonderfully presented, coming in to the summer, this will be a perfect competition prize.
