Classic car technicians Monty and Christian have been spending quite a bit of time with our 1975 Jensen Interceptor MK3 lately. From removing the front wings to working on the new body panels that arrived at the workshop, they have been busy making good progress on this special classic car. As you can see from […]
Classic car technician Brian has made a new glovebox for our 1992 Rover Mini Cooper 1.3. He did this by first making the patterns he needed from cardboard. He then used these to cut the shapes out of mill board and using scoring boards to put creases in the appropriate places. All the parts were […]
Since the chassis of our 1959 Jensen 541R has been back in the workshop, classic car technician Rob has been busy rebuilding the car.

We recently delivered our 1970 Jaguar XJ6 Series 1 to the very lucky new owner – Martin Tyte.

Everyone here is very pleased to hear that Martin loves his new car and […]
Since returning from the sandblasters, the chassis of our 1956 Jensen 541 has spent some time in our paint shop being painted. It’s not very often that you see the chassis of a car in this state so it’s always interesting to see this stage of restoration work.
Classic car technician Jon has been investigating a leak on our 1972 Rover 4500S. The leak was found to be coming from a hose to the radiator. Jon tightened all the hoses and checked the pressure in them too. While he was working on this eye-catching classic car, he also looked at the intake pipes. […]
Our 1977 Triumph Spitfire came into the workshop for the team to investigate some running issues it was experiencing. Classic car technician Jon has begun looking into these issues and already found and rectified some of them. The first thing Jon did was to charge the flat battery. He then removed and regapped the spark […]
Now that the chassis of our 1959 Jensen 541R is back in the workshop, classic car technician Rob has started the process of putting everything back together again. This will obviously take some time and it will require a huge amount of patience and skill. Fortunately, our classic car technicians have both of these so […]
The interior trim of our 1978 MGB GT has had new hardboard panels made. The finish of the new panels goes a long way in making this classic car look refined and very appealing. The badges of the car have also been undergoing refurbishment. Seemingly small tasks like this do a great job of bringing […]
A little over a year ago, we said goodbye to our 1972 Chevron B20. Everyone here at Bridge Classic Cars loved this formula 2 car and, although we were happy it was going to a new owner, there was still quite a bit of sadness to see this very special car leave us. However, today […]
Classic car technician Chris recently started the body shaping process on our 1986 Daimler DS420. Quite a bit of restoration work has already been completed on this classic car and things certainly aren’t slowing down as progress continues to be made.

Along with its new interior, sun visors, and roof, our 1969 Morris Minor 1000 Convertible has a new pinstripe too.

The pinstripe may seem like a relatively small thing but, as you can see from the photos below, it […]
After recent repairs to its wheel arches and getting high build primer applied, our 1999 Vauxhall Omega went through its final preparations before receiving its top coat of paint.

There’s nothing quite like an eye-catching classic car arriving at the Bridge Classic Cars workshop. Our 1977 Triumph Spitfire certainly fits the bill to be an attention-grabbing vehicle. Not only does it stand out in its yellow colour, but it’s also a beautiful-looking classic car. It has come in for our classic car technicians to […]
A new stainless steel exhaust has been fitted to our 1972 Jaguar E-Type V12 Series 3 by classic car technician Paul. While Paul was working on this classic car, he also removed the centre console to gain access to the gear selection illumination. He needed to do this in order to fit a new bulb […]

Another new arrival has made its way to the Bridge Classic Cars workshop. This time it is our 1998 Mercedes E240. This will become part of the Bridge Classic Cars personal collection for now. Based on first looks alone, it seems to be a very nice car and we are looking forward to seeing what […]
The pistons of our 1954 Jaguar MK VII were machined recently. As the pistons are such a vital component of the engine, it’s important that they are exactly right and, as you can see in the video below, care needs to be taken to make sure everything is perfect.
Classic car technician Paul has been working on the suspension of our 1972 Jaguar E-Type V12 Series 3. He installed new poly bushes to the front suspension which will absorb any bumps and knocks as well as reduce noise and vibration once the car is back out on the road. Everything will be put back […]
Our 1969 Morris Minor 1000 Convertible has a new roof to help keep its owner warm and dry when the weather isn’t suitable for having the top down. However, classic car technician Brian also fitted the sun visors into the car for when the sun does come out and a summer road trip is in […]
Following repairs to both rear wheel arches and sills, our 1999 Vauxhall Omega was given a coat of high-build primer. This will help provide the best possible surface for the top coat of paint to be applied. With the arch and sills now repaired, and the car almost ready for painting, it continues to make […]
Classic car technician Scott has been conducting an assessment of our 1976 Aston Martin AMV8. After noticing some oil leaks, he removed the under trays so he could see where these originated from. While the under trays were removed, an assessment was able to be carried out to see where any welding might be needed […]
Classic car technicians Monty and Christian have taken the front wings off of our 1975 Jensen Interceptor MK3 to make way for the new ones to be fitted at a later date. They made sure everything was done accurately and safely so, when the new wings are ready, they will fit perfectly into place.
One of the classic cars you can win over at Bridge Classic Cars Competitions is our 1981 MGB GT LE. To show you how cool this classic car really is, Molly and the team headed over to our Bentwaters location to take some photos of the car as well as to do some filming to […]
Our 1987 Volvo 240GL is coming towards the end of its restoration journey with us here at Bridge Classic Cars.

Classic car technician Alan has been doing more work on our 1956 Jensen 541. After repairing the roof and bonnet of this classic car, Alan turned his attention to the doors.
