1998 Rover 200

Repairing the heater controls

The heater control would not go to hot and the dash had been replaced with an incorrect wood fascia. We have now removed the centre console and the heater control panel, reshaped the heater cable, replaced the fascia and replaced the broken parts with the correct ones and then replaced the heater fan resister as fan was only working on speeds 3 and 4. All done and the car is now back home.

A few new arrivals…

1998 Rover 200

Coming in to Bridge Classic Cars HQ with a heater issue, John is already on with finding the fault and hopefully being able to rectify it so it’ll be back to it’s owner in no time.

1998 Rover Mini Cooper

Meanwhile, a new addition to the The Classic Lounge, home to Bridge Classic Cars Competitions, our 1998 Rover Mini Cooper. Somewhat of a minor celebrity in the Mini world, this Cooper has gathered up a decent following over it’s lifetime, having it’s own website and social channel. The car has frequented many a local car show and meet and will soon be available as a competition car.

If you think you know this car, you may well do. The car is famed for the social channel ‘The Mini Resto‘ and was set to become the poster car for a new competition website. The previous owner soon realised the cost of running these competition models and thought again. The car comes to us to complete it’s journey in the competition world so coming to you very soon…

1975 MG B GT V8

And finally for this week, our 1975 MG B GT V8. This has been sourced for a customer with a specific requirement in mind. We have found the car, purchased the car and now it awaits it’s turn in the workshop for a full and through restoration.
