Since 2017 we have been revisiting the preparation of our 1967 Jaguar E-Type project car. It started with an idea between Gordon and Craig, to create a project car that not only highlights what we do here at Bridge Classic Cars but is also a fantastic tool we could use to give back to the […]
Whilst cleaning up our original flywheel we have discovered a very small crack through the moulding. This has resulted in the flywheel being unacceptable to refit. Having searched online for some time and speaking to some very useful contacts we have been unable to source a suitable replacement. We have therefore called in the services […]
We have now masked and covered up the exterior areas of our our VW Golf ready for the under-seal application to commence. The underside has been stripped, tidied and cleaned up and we have coated in a Schultz based application. This treatment not only looks fantastic but preserves and prolongs the life of the car. […]
Although our 1962 TVR Grantura race car is in storage for a little while whilst we complete the work on some of our current projects, we have photographed the engine bay in its current position.

The brand new Cinnamon upholstery is now being fitted in to our 1972 Jaguar E-Type. The seats are re-covered and ready for install when the rest is ready. We hope to have the majority of the interior work fitted in time for the weekend.
Our objective was to source a very beautiful example of the modern Mustang. Although our client is based overseas so mileage per year will be very limited, he wanted a low mileage, un-molestered example of the 5 litre GT in right hand drive. This one owner example comes with a factory fitted Borla exhaust system […]

We have decided to alter the styling of our 1973 Rolls Royce Corniche by introducing a lower layer of Wendy Brown.
BEM 885 was registered on the 5th July 1962 but the chassis number indicates that it was built around May 1961. The car has a lightweight, drilled chassis which is very interesting in itself. In it’s early days, the car had been frequently raced and hill-climbed and has been very successful in competitive events. Showing […]
Our stunning 1963 Rolls Royce Cloud 3 (III) requires some investigative work on the gearbox. For some unknown reason; at present, the car drives up to and remaining in 2nd gear for too long. Eventually, having dropped the pressure on the accelerator, 3rd gear will kick in and then the car will drive quite happily […]

With a very limited amount of existing interior to go by we have had to design and manufacture the full interior set for our 1962 TVR Grantura.
