The gearbox for our 1960 Jensen 541R project is back in the building. The transmission had been with a trusted specialist for a rebuild as part of the project to get this incredible classic GT back on the road.
Paul has been continuing his work on our 1956 Jensen 541. He has now fitted the nearside and off-side doors before he started to assemble the window frames. He then had to modify the door frame to make sure that the glass didn’t rub. The door window frames were then fitted.
The Bridge Classic Cars workshop team have been going full steam ahead with preparing the 1979 Ferrari 400.

To begin with, Jon has had to replace the heater valve nestled deep under […]
After our 1951 Austin Devon was brought back to the workshop, it was reunited with the other part of itself. After being with us for a little while now, it’s fantastic to see this classic pickup coming back together.

A few weeks ago, I became the new owner of my 1976 MGB GT. Since then, I have driven it lots, tinkered, cleaned, and generally admired it. The car came with a pretty substantial history file containing receipts, invoices, MOT certificates, etc covering a good amount of time. However, other than invoices for parts and […]
Filming this MGC GT was a pleasure as always. When getting to shoot with the picturesque Pettistree House as a backdrop it always elevates the beauty of the car. You could win this very classic, grab your tickets from the competitions section of the website now.

Drain coolant. Strip and remove heater valve from under scuttle panel. Valve unserviceable. Strip and remove heater control from […]
Steve recently fitted a new stainless steel exhaust to our 1952 Fiat 1900A. This wasn’t quite as straightforward as he had hoped though as the exhaust had to be made in-house as it is not possible to source one of these from elsewhere.
After Jonn had removed the fuel filter bowl from our 1973 Jaguar E-Type for cleaning, he noticed that the filter had come loose and the bowl seal was leaking. He fitted a new unit to cure both faults.
Our 1987 Mercedes 500SL has been in the hands of Bridge Classic Cars workshop manager, John. He has been stripping down the headlights ready to send the reflector away to be refurbished. John also rebuilt and refitted the refurbished heater box to the car.
Various parts of our 1953 Aston Martin DB2/4 have been prepared for sandblasting. This is an important step in the restoration of this rare car and we are very excited to see the results back on the car. There has also been progress made on the engine and gearbox.
Week 1 for new guy Dave has already been a busy one as his first project is our 1973 MG B Roadster. Gordon has not started Dave off lightly. The MG B is needing a serious amount of attention but that hasn’t seemed to phase Dave so far. The engine and gearbox have been removed. […]

We have recently welcomed several new vehicles into the Bridge Classic Cars workshop. The first is our 2013 Land Rover Defender 110 and, as you can see, it is quite the beast! After our 90 went into competition, it was decided that this is the one that will take its place. The next to arrive […]

There’s little in terms of comfort or technology, but that’s by design and is exactly […]
