Last week we welcomed back this lovely 1963 Jaguar SS100. It’s a replica made by a former business, Suffolk Sports Cars, which sadly are no more. It was reported that there was a weeping coming from the front of the car. Paul set to investigating the leak and quickly diagnosed the problem, the suspension shocks […]
The clear PVC back window is starting to de-laminate and coming away at places, so we’ve ordered a new piece as a replacement. Kath has been removing the old one this morning in preparation.
Newly purchased by us is this 1974 Triumph GT6. We’re awaiting its arrival and have been informed that it’s in mint condition. Keep your eyes peeled for its arrival into our workshop!
Paul has been continuing his work on the 1933 Austin 7. There was an oil leak. so he dropped the rear axle down in order to get to the gaskets and to re-seal at the drive shaft.
On Friday, the newly-built engine was plunged into the bay of the 1979 Arrow Ferrari Daytona, using a heavy duty crane, with Scott and Ady levering the engine in with the chains. The car originally came to us with an over-heated engine, so wasn’t running. Fortunately, it came with a spare Jaguar V12 engine. The […]

Ady has carefully removed the o’ring from our Jaguar MkII oil pump to replace with new. The parts are all here on the shelf and we’ll start the rebuild of the engine very soon.

It’s the final piece to the Aston DB2/4 carpet remanufacturing. Kath has done a sterling job re-producing the carpets to the factory specification of grey with grey piping. The very last task on the interior is to complete the rear seat assembly but for now we can move on. Once the body shell is nearing […]
A new clutch has now been fitted to our newly built V8 for the MGB. Tom is just finishing off and tidying the engine bay before he hands the car over to Ady for the refit.

Not the results we were expecting but our 1976 Mercedes SL350 has arrived. This was presented to us as a much loved, beautiful example of the iconic R107 Mercedes SL. Aesthetically speaking, the car is beautiful but our workshops will need to dig a little deeper as we have some underlying issues that need to […]
Clinton is continuing to work his magic and do an incredible job to the rebuild and re-shaping of the rear of our 1955 Aston martin DB2/4. At some point in its life, evidence suggests that the car was involved in a rear collision leaving lasting damage to the back area of the vehicle. Although we […]
Here’s another little update on the 1979 Arrow Ferrari Daytona. After adjusting the genuine Ferrari side lamp covers the other day to be able to fit on this replica, they’re now on. Scott is now working on repairing the exhaust manifolds. They’ll then be taken to the spray booth to be painted with paint that […]
Tamas has been working on the 1968 Jaguar E-Type Series 1.5 4.2 after it failed the MOT the other day. He’s put a new water pump on, put the alternator on, fitted a mobilised on the radio panel, there was a rubber tube that was leaking underneath and the thread got damaged that was attached […]
Brian has finished creating the new headlining for the 1990 BMW 750 iL. After taking the original fabric off the board and cleaning the board up, a grey nyylon brushed headlining foam was used to re-cover the board, which was similar to the original. Brian gradually glued the new fabric on, pressing into the curves […]
Here at Bridge Classic Cars, we have just purchased this 1989 TVR SII 2.9 V6. The previous owner had become very unwell, so the car ended up being left to go into a state of disrepair. That owner was Leonard Smith and he has sadly passed away this week. He was part of the TVR […]
After Paul did inspection work on the 1967 Ford Mustang 350, one of the first things that are being done is that the steering rack is being sent off to be over-hauled, after it was found to be leaking at the seals.
Lydia has been taking the flaking paint off the engine block for the 1963 Jaguar Mk II 3.4. It’s going to get re-painted, so a smooth surface is required. The block was cleaned several times first to get grease and dirt off. She used an air gun, to begin with, to blow off as much […]

Matt has finished sanding and polishing the lacquer on the 1973 Jaguar E-Type Roadster Series 3 body shell, so it’s now been transported over to the workshop, where work can begin on putting everything back together in it.
Work has started on the 1976 white MG B. The windscreen rubbers have been replaced after it was found that the original ones had perished.
This white 1976 MG B has come in for a list of reasons. It needs to have an inspection service, there’s a leaking sump and sump plug gasket, the heat’s not coming through the heater vents, the starter motor is sticking, the windscreen is leaking water, a new cigarette lighter needs to be fitted, new […]
Ady has been working on the total engine rebuild for the 1973 MG B GT V8. He’s rebored the engine to suit the pistons, refaced the engine block, refaced both the cylinder heads and cut all the valve seat and the lap in the valves. There are all new valve springs fitted, the crankshaft has […]
We’ve given the headlight surrounds of our 1978 Lancia Beta a fresh new look with a lick of paint. When the car arrived in with us the paint had flaked off and although the imperfections were not glaringly obvious we knew a cleaner look would improve the overall appeal. So here we have it, with […]
