Carpet Mats
April 4, 2024
Over the past few days, Lydia has been cutting and binding the carpets for our 1963 Bentley S3. The originals were in a poor state, dirty and also covered in moth damage. She took the pattern from these and created new ones, and then bound the edges in leather which has been used on the rest of the interior.
Recovering Interior Panels
March 28, 2024
The customer has kindly supplied all the interior panels of our 1963 Bentley S3 to us so that Lydia can recover them. He has remade some of the most damaged ones using the other sides as a template.
Remaking the cardboard boot pieces was the most challenging, as Lydia had to moisten the cardboard before moulding it into shape. After making it the desired shape and replacing the wood and metal pieces, she covered it in carpet.

Delicate Touch – Repairing the Rear Valance on the 1963 Bentley S3 Continental Coupe
March 20, 2024
Fabricator Chris has been working his magic on the valance of our 1963 Bentley S3 Continental Coupe.
With such an impressive and handmade car, adjustments sometimes have to be made in order to get the best fitting parts and ultimately the best end result, so the valance was handed over to our fabrication team to get delicately persuaded back into shape for this beautiful 1960s luxury coupe.
More Prep And Prime
March 11, 2024
Chris has been completing more prep work on our 1963 Bentley S3 Continental.
He rubbed the polyfan down again and then removed the panels and put them into final primer.
The car was masked up ready for final primer. It was first sealed with epoxy primer for any bare metal and then the final primer was applied.

Once this was done, Chris then applied more polyfan to make sure everything was nice and straight.

January 18, 2024
It wasn’t too long ago that we went to collect our 1963 Bentley S3 and bring it back to the workshop.
Before even more progress is made on its restoration, it seems like a good time to take a quick look back at when we collected it and loaded it up onto our trailer.
Back In The Workshop
January 11, 2024
Our 1963 Bentley S3 has recently returned to the Bridge Classic Cars workshop. As you can see, from the photos below, it now looks very different to how it did a few months ago when it first arrived.
When it arrived back, Jonn had to free off the brakes. To do this, he removed the front wheels and stripped the brakes. He removed the shoes and placed them inside the car before refitting the drums and wheels.

Work Begins On A New Arrival
July 14, 2023
Our 1963 Bentley S3 Continental Coupe has recently arrived at the Bridge Classic Cars workshop. Although we know this is a classic Bentley, you’d be forgiven for not being able to immediately recognise it as such from its current state.
Despite only arriving at the workshop a couple of days ago, Chris has already started work on the restoration of what will be a beautiful classic by the time it is complete.
It will stay in the Bridge Classic Cars paint shop for a little while before it is ready to move on to the next stage of its restoration.
