[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Our original objective was to repair the woodwork that was showing signs of wear on the offside. Not as straight forward as it sounds. Coachwork can be tricky to perfect and with it being the strength of the car it is critical to get it right. Having stripped the car, we repaired the affect wood areas […]
Here we have some classic pictures given to us from our good friends. It’s lovely when we have visitors with stories to tell and pictures to show. We carried out some work on Trevor Murray’s 1949 MG TC last year and whilst here he was thrilled to see the prototype 1960 Jensen 541S we had in undergoing […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]A bright and early start again this morning as we load up the 5 cars ready to head down to Kempton Park for tomorrow’s Jaguar Heritage, Classic and Sports Cars, hosted by Barons. We’ve enlisted the help and expertise of Russell’s Transport once again to transport 4 of the 5 vehicles with the 1982 Triumph TR7 being […]
Having recently rebuilt the engine of our 1974 Spitfire, we are now refitting it as part of the re-commissioning process. Once the engine has been fitted back up and tested once again we will be close to being able to put her through an MOT. After careful consideration we decided to fit a brand new […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]After many years in storage our 1967 Rolls Royce is brought back to life once again and runs very sweet.

[…]
Our 1949 MG YT interior remake is almost complete, here is the first images of the seats and door cards. We have re-manufactured the entire interior set up using the original components where possible but now with the new colour combination. As you can see, the leather is yet to be tightened in places but […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]More pictures of our 1974 Datsun 240Z pre-restoration. We’ll soon start the process of a full strip down to fully assess the body work that will need to be carried out.

Believed to be one of only 25 right hand drive vehicles remaining on the road in the UK and one of only 3000 ever produced, we’ve arrived back to Bridge Classic Cars HQ with our next product, this beautiful Audi 100 Coupe S. A full restoration later in the year is planned but for now […]
YMO 388F is a Series 1.5 Jaguar E-Type from 1968. In some ways this provides the best of both worlds. The looks of the original Series 1 car with some of the running gear improvements that came with the Series 2, as well as avoiding some of the price hike that attached to Series 1 […]
Today we’ve collected one of our next projects, a 1996 Jaguar XJR Supercharged. Owned by the family since new, it has been stored in a barn for a number of years not being used. It is now time to get her back up and running once again. First step is to return to our Ipswich […]
In preparation for the full restoration of our 1974 Datsun 240Z we are now starting to collect the available components required for the build. Classic parts are very rare to come by so we always have one eye on what’s available at all times just incase something becomes available that we know we will need […]
Here we have the new air conditioning vents covered in the black leather to match the brand new interior soon to be fitted to our 1967 Jaguar E-Type.
Our newly rebuilt 1974 Triumph Spitfire engine is now ready to be fitted back in to our re-commissioning project.
Today we accepted delivery of the prototype 1960 Jensen 541S, now back in its original factory colours of pearl grey with a black roof. Now the rebuild begins!
One of only 320 Jensen Interceptor FF’s manufactured, 110 of which were MkII and this being the very first MkII, this very special car has come in to us today to have a couple of minor paint issues assessed with a view to correct them before they progress. All being well, we may see this […]
Arriving in our workshops next month we have our 1980 MG Midget 1500. Previously residing in Edinburgh she’s had just 2 owner’s and covered an impressive 14000 miles from new.
The polished aluminium radiator and header tank has now been fitted up and looking fantastic.
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Our Maserati Merak is now back in our Ipswich workshops after one final visit to the paint shop and she is looking absolutely outstanding. Just a couple of small areas to work on and the concours restoration will be complete. A couple of removable panels need to be realigned once again and we are waiting […]
The brand new full A and B posts have successfully been fitted to our 1947 MGTC. As you can seem we have discovered a small area of rot that has spread to the back arch panel. Rather than replacing the entire back arch for a small amount of rot Asa has decided to leave the […]
Having exhausted all avenues in sourcing some new/good used headlight hydraulic cylinders to operate the raising mechanism of the headlights, we had no other choice than to re-manufacture some brand new components. Certainly not as easy as it sounds; lots of phone calls later to lots of hydraulic specialists and with no one wanting to […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Having travelled all the way over from our good friends at Beverly Hills Car Club, she spent her early years in Kirkcaldy before heading over to the states in the early 80s we believe. Now that she’s back on UK soil we’ve got her running and here we are out on a nice, leisurely morning drive […]
Our 1974 De Tomaso Pantera is back in with us to have the dust covers replaced top and bottom.
The A and B posts have been successfully removed from the offside of our 1947 MGTC. We have temporarily fitted up the components we have in but are just waiting for one more piece to the jigsaw before we secure everything into position. Due to the severity of what we have discovered we have taken […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]After several months travelling from Beverly Hills to be with us our 1967 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow runs brilliantly, with very little effort.

Tommy is now away sailing the Suffolk coast for a couple of days but before he left our workshops yesterday he managed to complete the installation of the new brake pipes. As you can see, the pipes are not yet secured but are in the positions that they need to be. We have also fabricated the […]
We have now successfully removed the majority of the affected area of our 1947 MGTC with just the A and B posts remain. It’s a surprisingly big task to take on but we are lucky to have caught it now as leaving these issues will only make the situation worse. Once the A and B […]
We have now uncovered the A and B posts of our 1947 MG TC to assess the extent of the rot and what coach work will need to be carried out to resolve the issues. As you can see, the A post has been tampered with and corrected in the past as sheet metal has […]
John and Dave have been hard at work refitting the engine to our 1932 Vauxhall Cadet.
Superglass Windshield Repair have been in today to repair the crack on the windscreen.
From time to time you unfortunately uncover more of an issue than what you first estimate and this is one of those times. We set out with the intention of replacing the main wooded beam that runs along the bottom of both the A and B post and almost from the front of the car […]
