Looking Back On The Build Of Our AK 427
September 1, 2023
Our 2020 AK 427 has been in the Bridge Classic Cars workshop for just a few days and it is already getting lots of attention.
Before it goes live on Bridge Classic Cars Competitions ready to be won, we have been looking back at some photos that its previous owner has provided us with of it in various stages of its build.
Bodywork Begins
September 1, 2023
Now that our Ford Transit MKII Tipper has come to the end of its time in the fabrication bay, it has been moved over to the Bridge Classic Cars paintshop ready for work on its body to begin.
It’s always an exciting time when one part of a restoration is finished and a new one is about to start.
Our Transit Tipper will likely be in the paintshop for a little while but, by the time it leaves, it will be looking very different.

The Restoration Begins
September 1, 2023
The restoration of our 1976 Triumph Spitfire 1500 has begun.
This is another exciting project for us as it is for a returning customer who currently lives in France. It is for this reason that the left-hand drive configuration will stay with the vehicle.
We have already restored three classic cars in our customer’s garage, and we are very much looking forward to making progress on the 4th. Undoubtedly, this one is going to be a stunning car when it is complete.
The restoration has been started with classic car technician Rob getting to work on stripping down the car.
Just Arrived – Ford Mustang
August 31, 2023
Today, we saw the arrival of our 2017 Ford Mustang GT at the Bridge Classic Cars workshop.
This impressive-looking Mustang will go on to be a competition car through Bridge Classic Cars Competitions with the new owner being found very soon.
Our previous competition Mustang proved to be very popular and we are expecting the same from this one!
SOLD – Our 1935 Bentley
August 31, 2023
Our 1935 Bentley Van Den Plas Saloon sold earlier this week.
After making its way to us from South Africa, it will now go on to its new home with its proud new owner.
There’s no denying that this is a beautiful classic and it comes as no surprise that it was a popular listing on Car & Classic. As excited as we are to see it leave us to be admired by another enthusiast, it will be slightly sad to not see it in the Bridge Classic Cars workshop every day.
Cataloguing Components
August 30, 2023
Classic car technician Tom has been going through the long process of cataloguing the components of our AC Cobra project.
His main focus has been on the engine, as this will soon be removed from the vehicle so it can be refurbished before going back into the car at a later date.
This is a very exciting restoration project so we are very much looking forward to seeing it progress through its time here in the Bridge Classic Cars workshop.
Morris Minor Repairs
August 30, 2023
After suffering from an unfortunate bump while at home, our 1960 Morris Minor has been needing some repair work completed by classic car technician Mauro.
Mauro has been focused on repairing the front wing that seemed to take the brunt of the impact. Hopefully, it won’t be too much longer before the fully recovered Minor goes back home to its owner.
Painting Our Transit Bed Frame
August 30, 2023
The bed frame of our Ford Transit MKII Tipper has been in the Bridge Classic Cars paintshop with Mauro, as he has been giving it a fresh coat of paint.
After applying epoxy primer to the bed frame, he went on to paint it black using DTM paint.
Once the freshly painted bed frame is reunited with the rest of our Transit Tipper, it will be a positive step forward on the restoration journey of the vehicle.
All Coming Back Together
August 30, 2023
Lydia and Brian have been working hard on the interior of our 1959 Jensen 541R. Brian has been making and fitting the door panels, while Lydia has been focussing on the interior carpets and seats of our classic Jensen.
The restoration of this beautiful car is getting closer and closer to being finished and we are looking forward to seeing this progress continue.
Beetle Interior
August 30, 2023
Classic car technician Lydia has been starting work on the interior of our 1974 Volkswagen Beetle.
After undergoing lots of work on its body and chassis, it’s great to finally see the interior begin to go into the classic Beetle, known affectionately as Delilah.
Door cards have been fitted, carpet has been installed and Lydia’s work will continue as she puts the interior of our Beetle back together.
Getting Our TR6 Ready To Be Won
August 30, 2023
Our 1973 Triumph TR6 will soon be going live on Bridge Classic Cars Competitions. Before that happens though, classic car technician Jonn has been checking it over to make sure everything is ready for its lucky new owner.
Part of Jonn’s work included getting all of the rear lights working, replacing the aftermarket steering wheel with a more period-correct one, and getting the stereo loom ready for the stereo to be fitted.
The stereo was then fitted and tested and found to be working as expected. Jonn went on to adjust the handbrake as well as fitting new door locks on both sides. A new clutch pedal anti-slip pad was fitted too.
What An Arrival!
August 29, 2023
As most of you know by now, there are always interesting and exciting vehicles coming into the Bridge Classic Cars workshop. However, from time to time, something extra special and attention-grabbing comes through the door.
Today is one of those times, as we welcome our 2020 AK 427 in the style of an AC Cobra.
What makes this even more exciting is the fact that you will have the chance to win this impressive vehicle for yourself through Bridge Classic Cars Competitions very soon.
More details to follow, so keep your eyes open for this one…
Just Arrived
August 29, 2023
Today, we saw the arrival of our 2001 Jaguar XKR which will soon be available to win through Bridge Classic Cars Competitions.
As it has just arrived with us, it will now go through an inspection and assessment with our team of classic car technicians but, from first impressions, things are looking good already!
Stripping A Classic Transit
August 25, 2023
Our 1972 Ford Transit Tipper may have only been in the Bridge Classic Cars workshop for a few days but classic car technician Mauro has already been hard at work stripping it, ready for repairs to be made to its paint.
Once the strip down is complete, work will continue on our Transit Tipper and we are very much looking forward to seeing its great looks improve further.
Preparing A Competition Car
August 25, 2023
Classic car technician Jonn has been working on our 1980 MGB GT in preparation for it to be won through Bridge Classic Cars Competitions very soon.
After charging the battery, Jonn inspected and cleaned the brakes and was happy with their condition. A new choke cable was fitted and the tappets were adjusted. Jonn went on to clean the rocker cover ready for a new gasket to be fitted.
The jet depths were set and our MGB GT is now almost ready to go to the lucky winner when the live draw takes place in a few days time.
Complete And Gone Home
August 25, 2023
Our 1981 Austin Morris Mini 998 wasn’t with us very long, but classic car technician Jonn completed the appropriate repairs before waving it goodbye as it returned to its owner.
While working on the car, Jonn noticed that the engine oil level was low so this was topped up. The radiator was also topped up. Jonn then went on to remove the carb pistons and chambers so he could inspect and set them.
The jet depth was measured with a vernier so Jonn could adjust accordingly.
Once Jonn had finished working on our classic Mini, it was time to say goodbye as it left the Bridge Classic Cars workshop.
Lots Of Progress
August 23, 2023
Over the last few weeks, a lot of progress has been made on the restoration of our 1959 Jensen 541R. Both the interior and the exterior of this beautiful classic car are looking very different now and are getting closer and closer to being completely finished.
Classic car technicians Brian and Lydia have been working on the interior of our 541R. Carpets have been fitted, the headliner has gone in, vinyl installed, and the rear seats have been fitted too. Other interior work included the dash, glovebox, door panels and more.
While Brian and Lydia were working on the interior, classic car technician Rob has been working on getting the exterior of our Jensen 541R back together. As you can see from the photos below, he has made extremely good progress. His most recent work has involved fitting the bonnet flap operating mechanism, installing the window latches, and building and fitting the front seat runners.
A Classic Transit
August 22, 2023
Another new arrival has entered the Bridge Classic Cars workshop in the form of our 1972 Ford Transit Tipper. Although we already have a Tipper in the workshop, this one looks very different and is in a much more usable condition!
While it is in the workshop, we will be doing some paint repairs and investigating an oil leak and noise coming from the vehicle.
New In – 1981 Austin Morris Mini 998
August 22, 2023
We have recently welcomed our 1981 Austin Morris Mini 998 into the Bridge Classic Cars workshop. While it is with us, our team of technicians will be working on the carbs, as well as investigating a noise that the owner has heard coming from the car.
It will also undergo a full appraisal before leaving us.
We love a classic Mini so we are very pleased to have one as good-looking as this with us.
A Big Morning For Competitions
August 22, 2023
This morning, we held two live draws, the first for our 1989 Ford Sierra XR4x4, followed by the very special draw for our 1968 Jaguar E-Type Series 1.5.
The lucky winner of our Sierra was David Monks with ticket number 2037.
The lucky winner of our E-Type was Robert Alfonso with ticket number 878.
Molly and Freddie had a great time finding the winners of these 2 classics. Both were sellouts and the E-Type actually sold out more than 30 days early! As our biggest-ever competition, it’s very exciting to see our beautiful classic Jaguar soon leave the workshop to join its new owner.
Everyone here at Bridge Classic Cars would like to congratulate David and Robert on their wins and we hope you both enjoy the new additions to your garage!
Pre-Delivery Work
August 21, 2023
As our 1976 Morris Mini was won last night, classic car technician Jonn has been doing some work to make sure it is ready to go to its new owner very soon.
Some of the work included fitting a new wheel bearing, replacing a wheel stud, and fitting a new fog light switch.
Once Jonn is happy, our classic Mini will be making its way to the lucky winner.
Replacement Wheels
August 21, 2023
Since returning to the Bridge Classic Cars workshop for a service recently, our 1991 Volkswagen Transporter T4 has been in the care of classic car technician Jonn.
During the service, Jonn noticed that the wheels needed replacing. This has now been done along with new centre caps also being fitted.
Saying Dubai Bye
August 21, 2023
Our 1976 Aston Martin AMV8 recently sold at auction and is now on its way to its new owner.
The journey of our AMV8 started in America before heading over to us here at Bridge Classic Cars. Following its sale, its travels are not quite over just yet, as it is now being shipped over to join its owner’s collection in Dubai.
Seeing our 1976 Aston Martin AMV8 leave the workshop after being with us for quite some time was both exciting and slightly sad at the same time. We are very excited that the car will now be enjoyed as it should but we are also slightly sad that we will no longer be able to admire it every day.
We hope the new owner enjoys our beautiful AMV8.
Getting Competition Ready
August 21, 2023
One of the newest additions to the Bridge Classic Cars workshop is our 1957 Austin Healey 100-6. Coming to us from a good friend of ours in South Africa, this beautiful classic will eventually go on to be a competition car through Bridge Classic Cars Competitions.
However, before that happens, classic car technician Tom has been hard at work inspecting and assessing the car as well as repairing and replacing various issues and parts found along the way.
Working On Our Clyno
August 21, 2023
Classic car technician Steve has been working on our 1926 Clyno to help get it back out on the road.
Newly relined brake shoes were fitted before Steve noticed that a manifold gasket was leaking. 2 gaskets ended up being removed and replaced.
More Repairs
August 21, 2023
Classic car technician Chris has been completing more repair work on the frame of our Ford Transit MKII Tipper.
Things are moving along nicely on this restoration project and we hope it won’t be too much longer until it is ready to move on to the next stage of its restoration.
Ready To Be Won
August 18, 2023
Our 1980 MGB GT is live on the Bridge Classic Cars Competitions website.
Coming with an extensive history file containing invoices, MOT certificates, and a collection of photographs showing the car undergoing restorative work pre-2010, it is clear that this car has been kept by proud and caring owners throughout its life.
You can enter the draw to be in with a chance of winning this popular classic now!
A Competition Car Arrives
August 17, 2023
We recently welcomed our 1980 MGB GT into the Bridge Classic Cars workshop. In an eye-catching shade of yellow, with an equally as beautiful black interior with yellow piping, we are very excited to have this as a competition car for Bridge Classic Cars Competitions.
Once it has been inspected by the workshop team, it will soon be live and ready to win.
