C-Types Lights And Indicators

Jonn has been working on our 2022 Bridge C-Type Replica. He raised it up on the ramp and removed the centre under trays. He then worked out where and how to fit the prop shaft speed sensor pick up and sensor. After measuring the length of wire required to connect the indicators, a small twin-core […]

A Cobra In The Paintshop

Our 1975 AC Cobra Replica has been in the Bridge Classic Cars paint shop recently. Chris has painted the engine bay while Mauro completed filler work on the bonnet and doors. Meanwhile, technician Jonn got the chassis out of storage and placed it on stands ready for first assembly to begin very soon. He also […]

Seat Repair

A seat from a Renault Clio has just arrived at the Bridge Classic Cars workshop. Lydia is going to be working on it to make some repairs. Once she is done, the seat will look new again and will be ready to go back into the car.

A Classic Citroen Arrives

We have recently welcomed our 1985 Citroen CX25 GTi into the Bridge Classic Cars workshop. While it is with us, Lydia will be working on the interior to make some improvements. Soon after it arrived, Mauro got straight to work removing the seats.

Morgan Catalogue

This is the catalogue that was released to advertise the limited edition Morgan 4/4s, released in 2006, to mark 71 years of 4/4 production. This gives more details about the 142 cars in this limited run, including our ‘1952’ tribute which is available to win through Bridge Classic Cars Competitions.

Our Limited Edition Morgan Is Ready To Be Won

In 2006, the Morgan 4/4 celebrated its seventy-first year. To mark this milestone, a limited run of 142 ’70th Anniversary Edition’ cars was commissioned. Of these 142 vehicles, just two were produced per build year. Each edition featured unique paint colours, soft-top designs, upholstery, and more, reflecting the style of its corresponding decade. Our 2006 Morgan […]

E-Type Oil Change

Technician Julian has been attending to the nearside exhaust manifold of our 1972 Jaguar E-Type. It was blowing between the manifold and head so he removed the inlet manifolds and carburettors, removed the heat shields and downpipes, and removed the exhaust manifold. Julian found that the manifold flanges were out of shape so he filed […]

Delivered To Auction

Tony recently delivered our 1968 Lotus Elan S4 to Manor Park Auctions ready to go up for sale at the weekend.

Water Proofing

Steve has fitted the new waterproof connectors for the rear lights on our Ford Transit Tipper MKII. Once this was done, he moved on to cut the doorstep retaining strip to length and drilled it ready for painting.

Lots Of Cobra Progress

Our 1975 AC Cobra Replica has been undergoing quite a lot of week recently. It has had primer and raptor applied to the engine bay as well as the inner wheel arches being prepped for raptor. The chassis has been collected from powder coating and is now back in the workshop. The rear coilovers have […]

Win Our Spitfire

Our 1979 Triumph Spitfire is now live on the Bridge Classic Cars Competitions website. Introduced in the wake of the oil crisis, the Spitfire was fitted with a more fuel-efficient 1.5-litre engine, which helped make it both economical and lively on the road. Despite its small size, our Spitfire is surprisingly comfortable and practical. The […]

Honda S2000 Photoshoot

As the owner of our 2005 Honda S2000 was collecting their car from the workshop today, I thought it only right to take one last round of photos in its finished state before we said goodbye.

Getting Ready To Say Goodbye

As we prepare to say goodbye to our 1959 Jensen 541R, I thought it would be nice to take some photos of it in its almost-finished state. A bit more testing is needed and then it will be off home to its owner.

Carpet Mats

Over the past few days, Lydia has been cutting and binding the carpets for our 1963 Bentley S3. The originals were in a poor state, dirty and also covered in moth damage. She took the pattern from these and created new ones, and then bound the edges in leather which has been used on the […]

Roof And Floor

Christian has been continuing his work on our 1951 Austin Devon. He has been making the roof guttering fit as well as repairing the right-hand side of the floor. He went on to repair the left-hand side of the floor too. The floors were then fitted up, along with the gearbox tunnel.

Cobra Bits In Paint

Multiple components of our 1975 AC Cobra Replica have been in the Bridge Classic Cars paintshop with Chris as he has been painting them in dtm satin black, dtm gloss silver, and dtm clear.

Triumph Cars featuring our Triumph TR3A

A familiar face was looking back at me this morning as I made my way through the recent updates on my Facebook feed. The Triumph Cars Facebook group posted an article about Triumph Ladies and it was lovely to see our Charlotte in front of the Triumph TR3A we gave away back in 2021.

Our 1972 Jaguar E-Type Series 3 returns

Lovely to welcome back our 1972 Jaguar E-Type Series 3, having been away and enjoyed for the passed year. The car returns for a general service and to look into a potential blown exhaust. Whilst in with us we are also going to check the electric fans are working and fit an electrical over-ride switch […]

Fit Up – Wiring Up and Checking the Fitment of the Bonnet on our C-Type Replica

The workshop and paint team have been working on getting the bonnet of our C-Type replica fitted up onto the car and adjusted along with the wiring beginning to take shape underneath this homage to the glory years of Le Mans. Along with the wiring, the paint team have also gone through and marked small […]

A Finished Classic

Our 1964 Daimler 250 has recently left the Bridge Classic Cars workshop. Before we said goodbye to it, Nick gave it a final photoshoot to show off just how beautiful it now is.

A Zephyr Delivered

Tony recently delivered our 1964 Ford Zephyr to the lucky winner. Everyone here at Bridge Classic Cars hopes he enjoys owning his very own classic Ford.

Rebuilding Carburettor

Paul has been rebuilding the carburettor of our 1962 Norton 650SS.

Win Our BMW 335i

Our 2007 BMW E93 335i is now live on the Bridge Classic Cars Competitions website. Our 2007 BMW E93 335i is still in its original specification and has had several thousands of pounds of preventative maintenance done on it by its previous owner. In July 2023, it had its last service by Cecil and Larter […]

Recovering Interior Panels

The customer has kindly supplied all the interior panels of our 1963 Bentley S3 to us so that Lydia can recover them. He has remade some of the most damaged ones using the other sides as a template. Remaking the cardboard boot pieces was the most challenging, as Lydia had to moisten the cardboard before […]

Cobra Rear Axle

Mauro has been removing the rear axle from the chassis of our 1975 AC Cobra Replica. Once this was done, he also primed the engine bay ready for paint.

Ready For Delivery

Our 2007 Land Rover Defender 110 is loaded in our trailer and is on its way to the lucky new owner.

Devon Repairs

Christian has been repairing the doors of our 1951 Austin Devon before he fitted up the doors, made the door gaps nice and fit up the roof, before pulling the body square.

Another Successful Delivery

Our 1976 Leyland Mini Clubman was recently delivered to its lucky new owner. We hope he enjoys owning this beautiful classic Mini.

Service And Road Test

Our 1979 Triumph Spitfire has been in the hands of Jonn. Here are his notes: Get in and finish the service. Fit new points and condenser. Refit cap and rotor and try to start. Won’t fire. Investigate and found wire from condenser insecure and barely making contact. Strip and solder both wires from condenser and […]

Door Cards And Floor Mats

A customer wanted a quick interior refresh on her 2006 Nissan Micra Convertible. Lydia made some custom-fitted floor mats, which fit much better than the generic shop-bought ones. She also added some extra-strong velcro so they don’t slip from their intended position. Next, Lydia replaced the material which had become tatty and was starting to […]
