1932 Vauxhall Cadet arrives at Bridge Classic Cars

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Earlier today, we too delivery of our 1932 Vauxhall Cadet.

You may have seen her out and about at the Suffolk car show’s, she’s in with us today for a general check her over. We’ll be checking over the engine to make sure we get her running as she should be and we know of a couple of welding tasks that need to be carried out.

Once we’ve got her up on the ramp for assessment we’ll be able to identify all of the jobsย required and have her back to Felixstowe in no time!

Here we have pictures of Mark and Lauren arriving back to our Ipswich workshops.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”7266,7267,7268,7269,7270,7271,7272,7257″][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Coming in soon

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Coming to see us at Bridge Classic Cars very soon is a lovely 1932 Vauxhall Cadet from Felixstowe.

A few little running issues to investigate and some work needs to be done on the suspension.

We just love how original she is, it shows that not all classic cars have to be fully restored and have no imperfections to be beautiful.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”7223,7224,7225,7226,7227,7228,7229,7230,7231,7232,7233″][/vc_column][/vc_row]

We’ve been very busy of late and as this project is our own it has unfortunately had to take a back seat.

Work is due to commence on the body later this week as we have lots of welding to do. The chromework is also due back to us later this week.

 

The Mazzy Engine Returns

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]We teased you with some images back in Augustย of our 1976 Maserati Merak engine just as we were completing the rebuild. Well next week we’ll be introducing her back to the body shell once again as she gets fitted back in ready for the final stages of rebuild.

New Wheels

We just accepted delivery of our newly refurbished Triumph TR7 wheels.

As much as the 2 tone black and chrome rims did look fantastic we felt that the originals would look much better so after trawling the internet in source of some original 13 inch wheels we managed to find a set that we in desperate need of some TLC.

As always, Wheelworxย did what they do best and now we have a fantastic set of perfect Triumph TR7 wheels with a brand spanking new set of tyres.

1971 Jaguar E-Type V12 Roadster ready for welding

Our 1971 Jaguar E-Type v12 Roadster is now ready for the big task of welding. As we have mentioned previously, this beauty spent some time in the US with the intention of being a drag car.

With this in mind, a lot of unnecessary changes have been made to the shell so it’s now the job for Will to put her back to how she should be. New arches will need to be fitted up and welded into place.

We can’t wait for her to be back to her best, ready to be refitted. The chrome is back with us now and doesn’t look as pretty wrapped up in a box!

A UK restoration for a US Mercedes

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Today, we welcomed a 1984 Mercedes 300TD in to the Bridge Classic Cars workshops. The purchase of the call was to assess the car as a potential winter restoration.

The car has spent the majority of it’s life over in California where, at some stage, sustained damage to the front offside which had affected the wheel alignment. It appears that the repair work, carried out over in the US may not have been to accepting standards so this will need to be addressed and corrected as a priority.

Once we are satisfied that the work is corrected our Mercedes 300 TD will then receive a full respray. The Mexican TopHat wheels will also be refurbished, the underside will be protected and the interior trim will be perfected in places. There are also a number of slight mechanical issues that will need to be addressed too.

The owner of the 1984 Mercedes 300TD uses her everyday on our Suffolk coastal roads so this project will be broken down into stages so that there aren’t too many long period’s of time that the car will be off the road.

2002 Mercedes ML WaxOyl’d

Years and years of muddy water, dirt and grit flying about underneath takes it’s toll on the underside of your vehicle.

The underneath is often taken for granted and forgotten about. We like to polish up the shiny bits, the areas that people see but how often do you think to clean the underneath?

Here’s a wonderful example of 2002 Mercedes ML 4×4. Before recently changing hands this beauty was owned from new by one careful, lady owner. She’s covered just 2,000 miles per year, a total of 30,000 miles so far in her lifetime.

She’s been brought into us at Bridge Classic Cars to be waxoyl’d underneath. This process protects the underside of your vehicle from the british weather, adding a protective layer that resists the everyday grit and grime from the roads.

When wax oiling a vehicle it is best to remove the arches and any components that are easily removable, this is not essential but as we say ‘if you do a job, do a job right’. Water can get behind the arches quite easily so we add a layer of wax oil behind there also.

Here we are on day one of wax oiling the Mercedes, we have used a clear wax oil for this treatment; various colours are available and it is all down to choice and preference.

1982 Triumph TR7 Colour Coding

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]We recently took delivery of a fully restored Triumph TR7.

The previous owner of 16 years did a full ‘nut and bolt’ rebuild and has enjoyed just over 15,000 trouble free miles in her.

Only brought to market as he is now restoring another one.

We have a fully documented rebuild history and the car is totally rust free and runs like a Swiss Watch. Delivered to us via the Mansion House Hotel in Elgin Scotland which is one of our favourite retreats.

For some unknown reason the bodywork seems to be micro-blistering in places so we have decided to re-spray the entire car and within this we’ll treat it to a fully colour coded styling.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”5513,5512,5511,5510,5509,5508,5507,5506,5505,5504,5503,5502,5501,5500,5499,5498,5497,5496,5495,5494,5493″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]A life before Bridge Classic Cars[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”5483,5481,5480,5479,5478,5477,5476,5475,5474,5473,5472,5471,5470,5469,5468,5467,5466,5465,5464,5463,5462,5461,5460,5459,5458,5457,5456,5455,5454,5453,5452,5451,5450,5449,5448,5447,5446,5445,5444,5443,5442,5441,5440,5439,5438,5437,5436,5435,5434,5433,5432,5431,5429,5428,5427,5426″][/vc_column][/vc_row]

When old meets new…

Last monthย we welcomed a familiar face back to Bridge Classic Cars…the very beautiful and very rare Jensen 541S. Back in 2015 we discovered a 1961 Jensen 541S in a barn in Boxford, Suffolk.

With only 127 Jensen 541S produced we set out to restore this beautiful creation.

Last month we saw the arrival of another Jensen 541S. This one is very very special indeed.

1 of the 3 prototypes (experimental models) built and the first to be personally owned by the Jensen brother’s themselves. Our new arrival is this 1960 Jensen 541S. Originally pearl grey with a black roof she was the very first automatic model to be built and is in with us at Bridge Classic Cars ready to be taken back to her original routes.

1960 Jensen 541S - 377HWT

We were joined last week by owner Ronald, he had travelled over to see us from Belgium to have a look over his wonderful Jensen but this post is not actually about the Jensen, instead I would like to discuss the future!!

When I hand the reigns of Bridge Classic Cars over to my children and they do the same to their children this incredible machine would not look out of place in the Bridge Classic Cars carpark…the Tesla Model S.

This is the future and I am so grateful that I got to drive it and experience it.

2015 Tesla Model S

The Tesla Model S is designed from the ground up to be the safest, most exhilarating saloon on the road. With unparalleled performance delivered through Teslaโ€™s unique, all-electric powertrain, Modelย S accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in as little as 2.5 seconds. Modelย S comes with Autopilot capabilities designed to make your highway driving not only safer, but stressย free.

Tesla Model S

Modelย S is a driver’s car. The cabin combines meticulous noise engineering with Tesla’s uniquely quiet powertrain to obtain the sound dynamics of a recording studio. The gem of the interior is the 17 inch touchscreen, which is angled toward the driver and includes both day and night modes for better visibility without distraction. It puts rich content at your fingertips and provides mobile connectivity so you can easily find your destination, favourite song, or a new restaurant.

Our lids are sealed…

Not only has Trevor and the team been working hard today on repairing the wheel arches ready for paint but they finally sealed the roof edges to ensure they are completely water tight.

Although our 1989 Volkswagen Camper T25 has been sitting outside, unused, for many years, amazingly there were no signs of any water ingress into the vehicle. Having said that the edging was showing signs of serious wear in places so it was surprising that no water had gotten through.

But fear not, the edging is now completely water tight and free from holes and rust.

1971 Triumph Spitfire, now on her way home

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]We had a fantastic few months with Mary, Bill and their Triumph Spitfire. Having originally come into our workshops for some re-upholstery to the front driver’s seat the car she has now been completely sympathetically rebuilt and ready to get back on the road.

Repairing the wheel arches

When you are faced withย a body panel that is clearly showing years of wear and tear, sometimes, the most cost effective and reassuring way to secure the longevity of the area is to replace the rotten panels with new.

As you can see, that is exactly what we have decided to do on our 1989 Volkswagen Camper T25. This way, Mrs L and the family can have years and years of happy driving knowing that the rust will not be creeping back in anytime soon…simply because it’s no longer there!!

Age related issues – checking the hoses

Age can often take it’s toll on the engine; upon further inspection, things that look and function perfectly fine can often be showing signs of wear and tear.

Take the cooling hoses for example. The engine runs and functions as you’d expect but as you’ll see from the images they can be just a fraction away from causing longer lasting damage.

Here is one of the hoses from our 1971 Triumph Spitfire.

1971 Triumph Spitfire Hoses

Another one of the hoses had lost its flexibility entirely, this is not a good sign. When rubber no longer flexes it is time to renew. What makes this example worse is that the tube has expanded too.

Refitting the Spitfire continues…

Refitting our 1971 Triumph Spitfire

This is the fun part of a restoration; piece by piece, day by day the car starts to take shape. Everything has been cleaned up and all looking fresh and shiny.

Today Asa, John and Mark have all been getting stuck in to our 1971 Triumph Spitfire rebuild.

1971 Triumph Spitfire Engine

If you’d been running around for 45 years you’d too probably start to look a little tired and that’s exactly what we found under the bonnet, a tired looking engine.

Mechanically, she run’s like a dream but after a little bit of cleaning and painting in places she also looks wonderful too.

1971 Triumph Spitfire Engine

We have resprayed underneath the bonnet and arches with a very hard wearing coating. Being finished in black really finishes it off. Not only does it look great but is a useful technique to help hide any future dirty and grime that starts to build.

Today, we also resprayed the newly refurbished shocks, springs and discs. It’s the smaller detail that makes a big difference to the overall appearance. Why spend all this time and effort on a fantastic outer body and then leave the smaller visible components thinking that they are not worth doing…everything is worth doing!!

Refitting our 1971 Triumph Spitfire

Moving on to the interior, John has been busy fitting the brand new Triumph Spitfire door cards.

Speaking from experience, if you are restoring your own classic vehicle and your door cards look perfectly fine then please do not be too hasty at deciding to keep them. We very rarely have cars come in to us with horrible door cards. Door cards are more option that not still in good working order but when you have gone to all the effort stripping, respraying and rebuilding, the door cards you thought looked perfectly fine will most probably look tired next to a freshly painted exterior.

It’s absolutely worth that extra thought…

Here we are nearing the end of the day; the brand new handles have been fitted, the rear chrome surround trim is also in place, the rear lights are looking lovely and one of the rear black strips is also in position.

Soon be time to head home, get a good night’s sleeps so we can crack on for day 3 of the rebuild. Before the team leave off for the night we refitted the original chrome bumpers and badges.

The refurbished chrome bumpers have come up like new..but the great thing is that they are all original. This was one objective that Mrs King was really hoping we could achieve, from day 1 the original bumpers were always the preferred choice over a set of new and we couldn’t have asked for a better result.

Refitting the Spitfire

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Been a busy day in the workshops today with our 1971 Triumph Spitfire arriving back from the paint shop looking gorgeous.

With a shelf full of new, polished and re-chromed parts Asa, Mark and John have been hard at work re-fitting her back up, getting her ready to be back on the road.

The brand new light fittings have been positioned, the door handles are back in play and the rear chrome strips have been added to.

We’ve kept the original bumpers but have had them re-chromed and polished. They will be arriving with us tomorrow, thanks to Tony and the guys at Wyatt Polishing in Thetford for working hard on them for us. Sometimes cost plays a big role in whether to keep original parts or opt for brand new. As much as brand new is lovely and is often the cheapest option, where we can rescue the original parts for a reasonable price we will do that.

In this case, the bumpers have been restored which is a fantastic result![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”6781,6782,6783,6784,6785,6786,6787,6788,6789,6790″][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Strengthening the shell prior to cleaning

Our 1966 Jaguar E-Type shell is now completely stripped of all removable components. Before we can proceed with the blasting process or chemical immersion clean we firstly need to strengthen the frail body shell to prevent any further weakness’ appearing.

The cleaning process is a fantastic method for removing all debris, rust, dirt and any fillers that have been applied to the vehicle over it’s lifetime. As the process is very tough and our body shell is relative weak in it’s current state Asa has built a bespoke strengthening frame that he has attached internally to the shell. This will prevent any weakness’ getting any worse.

Coming soon to Bridge Classic Cars; a very rare 1949 MG Y Type, currently en route from Cyprus

Wikipedia

In 1948 several (currently believed to be 9) “YA” Types (consisting of chassis, engines and some body parts) were imported into Switzerland and given cabriolet bodywork by various coachbuilders, such as Reinbolt & Christรฉ. The idea of the open four-seatย tourerย had been popular before the war, and in theory there was still a market. As a result a “TC” specification of the XPAG engine was married to a pressed-steel open body with fully folding hood and coach-built doors.

A production tourer, the MG “YT”, was launched at the Motor Show in 1948. It was available for export only in both right- and left-hand-drive models. Only 877 of these cars were produced when production ceased in 1950โ€”it was not the success that MG had hoped for, and indeed other British manufacturers were also having problems selling open-tourer versions of their saloons.

The “YT” Tourer did not benefit from โ€˜displayedโ€™ woodwork but had the same standard of seat trim. It did have more instrumentation, in that there was a tachometer (or rev counter) in front of the driver, the speedometer was positioned in front of the passenger with a central bank of subsidiary dials in the centre, giving a similar sporting appearance to the TC with a “double scuttle” dash.

1949 MG Y Type

A childhood dream for Mr MacDonald to own one of the 877 that were produced.

This incredible MG Y Type is due to leave Cyprus this Friday and after a few weeks at sea she’ll be arriving in Felixstowe before being delivered directly to our Ipswich workshops for assessment.

At Bridge Classic Cars we offer anything that your classic car desires.

We’ll give this wonderful little MG a fully check over and along with it’s new owner, we’ll decide on the best course of action to get her up and running.

In no time at all she’ll beย out and about for all to see and enjoy.

And it didn’t take the team long to discover the enormity of the task in hand. Our black 1967 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 is, without a doubt, one of our biggest projects to date.

But what a fantastically busy day we’ve had.

The car is well into being stripped, the axles have been removed ready to be stripped and we’ll soon be ready for Asa to step in to assess the bodywork, remove as much of the body waste as possible and get her ready for sandblasting.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”6727,6728,6729,6730,6731,6732,6733,6734,6735,6736,6737,6738,6739,6740,6741,6742,6743,6744,6745,6746,6747″][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Our 1971 Triumph Spitfire is now resprayed

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Here she is looking absolutely stunning with her new re-spray.

Trevor worked late into the night and all day Saturday to ensure we have her back at the beginning of next week. Sometimes, due to unforeseen circumstances projects and tasks over-run. We have a very solid record of managing our time and budgets on restorations but unfortunately due to holidays we are a few days behind on this one.

…it’ll be worth it though!

What a huge transformation to this little gem. All that’s left to do is the refurbishment of the wheels and then back she comes to our Ipswich workshop be re-fitted.
