The clutch pedal had worn where the clevis pin goes through which allowed for too much movement on the pedal, so the clutch was not releasing as it should. The remedy was to weld up the elongated slot and re-drill it to the correct size, unfortunately, the whole pedal box had to be removed to […]

And now we have the amazing chassis 440 separated from the shell. We will still look to tidy the chassis up in places but having this chassis will save us a lot of time and money. A lot of the hard work has been carried out by the previous owner so a much better option […]
Leaving Germany yesterday was our latest ‘soon to arrive’ additon to the Bridge Classic Cars restoration family, a 1960 Jensen 541R. It is the last 541R that to be built by Jensen Motors (#493) and is in need of a little TLC. Upon arrival to the office this morning we were all greeted by one very […]
