Our good friend Hayley (owner of Halo Entertainment) enjoying the sunshine and celebrations at this year’s British Grand Prix at Silverstone. You may recognise Hayley from our 1951 MGTD Competition photo shoot at Priory Hall.
Received a lovely email this evening from George Merson… “Craig. I just looked at all of the restoration pictures of “Finnigen”, my 51 MG TD. I must say you did a fantastic restoration, the car looks absolutely fantastic. It should be good for another 60 years. I do hope the new owner appreciates all the work you […]
Our 1951 MG TD Competition Abington MkII featured as the main car on the front cover of the Barons annual Christmas brochure. It also appeared inside, spread across a double page within the edition. The Barons annual Christmas brochure was given out to all attendees of the 2016 Barons Christmas Classic Auction, held at Sandown Park […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]As we’ve said on many occasions, when carrying out any work on your classic car (or modern for that matter!) take lots of photos! Some of them you’ll look at in years to come and think “what did I take a picture of that for?” but trust us, that random picture might come in quite […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]On Tuesday 20th September our completed 1951 MG TD Competition Abington MK II was taken to Priory Hall in Hadleigh, Suffolk for the celebratory photo shoot. We were welcomed at the beautiful hall by owner Cyndy who showed us her own MG tucked away ready for the summer. A special thank you as always to […]
It’s been a long time coming but the new V5 UK registration is now with us. The new UK plates have been produced. Unfortunately it was a little too late coming so our wonderful photo shoot by Jason at Sugar and Spice Photography with Hayley and Lauren from Halo Entertainment took place at Priory Hall in Hadleigh […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]With our incredible 1951 MGTD Competition now complete there is only one thing left to do… A stunning Suffolk shoot! As this little beauty is believed to be the only one left in the world it was only right for her to have a very special Suffolk shoot. Firstly, we must say a huge thank you […]
Another amazing photoshoot by Jason at Sugar and Spice Photography scheduled in the next few weeks and this time we are adding a bit of sugar and spice to the shoot with a little help from Halo Entertainment. Here we are looking lovely, close to the Suffolk location where the shoot will be happening.
So that’s it…she’s almost complete. The brand new double duck roof is now fitted and secure. We are just waiting back on the registration documentation so the new plates can be made and fitted and she’ll be ready to set off on the Suffolk roads.
Bizarrely, it seemed somebody had decided to paint the wheels of our wonderful little MGTD whilst they were still on the car. We’ve been looking at these ever since she arrived with us at Bridge Classic Cars, all the way from Canada and today we decided to sort them out so we no longer need […]
Our stunning 1951 MG TD Competition is almost complete, but not before the brand new hood is built and fitted…and today’s the day we get started on this fantastic and very rewarding job. If you’re going for the traditional look in your classic or vintage vehcile restoration, then double duck is definitely the choice for […]

Work is now underway on reassembling our beautiful and very rare 1951 MG TD Competition. We have already had lots of interest in the progress of this restoration but we’d love to hear from you, if you would like to know more about this wonderful car or have information on her that you think we […]
It’s a beautiful sunny day today here in Ipswich which is exactly what we wanted as today’s the day we collected our very rare 1951 MGTD from our paint shop in Ipswich and return her to our assembly workshop on Deben Road ready for the refit to begin.
This Wednesday we are due to see the return of our 1951 MGTD Competition from the paint shop. She has been completely stripped, perfected and undergone a full respray.
We all have different likes and dislikes, ideas of what is acceptable and what isn’t and there’s nothing wrong with that at all. When our lovely little 1951 MGTD arrived from Canada we were expecting to carry out a bit of paint work but once we had time to inspect and assess her we felt […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]We expected the paintwork to be in slightly better condition that what we discovered so in true Bridge Classic Cars style…we’ll do it the way it should be done. Today, Asa and John spent the day stripping the 1951 MGTD of it’s chromework and adjusted the position of the engine to ensure that the paintwork […]
It’s been a long time coming, with a long trip from Canada but our 1951 MGTD has finally arrived with us here at Bridge Classic Cars. Here we are collecting her from Felixstowe docks. It was a beautiful sunny day and a lovely trip back from Felixstowe. As I sure you can imagine, we got […]
If you are as passionate about cars as we are here at Bridge Classic Cars, you’ll know yourself that it is always wonderful to hear the stories and the history behind these amazing classics we get to see everyday. Just like their owners, all cars have a history. The new ones may just be starting […]
