With a history file dating back to the early 1990s, the lucky winner is sure to love one of the most popular British sports cars ever made.
One Last Photoshoot
June 16, 2023
As our 1978 MGB GT is leaving us again, after returning for some repairs to the paint and the engine, we thought it would be great to take some photos of this beautiful classic car before it goes back to its owner.
It has come a long way since it first arrived at the Bridge Classic Cars workshop and we are very happy to see it in its finished form.
A Porsche Cayman S Arrives
June 16, 2023
Our 2007 Porsche Cayman S arrived at the Bridge Classic Cars workshop yesterday, and it is a stunner!
Finished in the rare factory PTS 8C6 Orange, this certainly stands out when compared to the usual Caymans in Silver, Grey, Black, or Blue. Even the interior is a special order Cocoa leather making this an extra special car.
Now that it is in the workshop, it will go through an inspection and assessment with the team before it goes on to be won through Bridge Classic Cars Competitions.
Two Beautiful Classics
June 14, 2023
Every now and again, we have two classic cars side-by-side that just have to be photographed together. Today, this happened with our 1929 Riley 9 Tourer and our 1927 Delage DI Sport Boat Tail.
From the front, there are some similarities in the look of these two cars that are just two years apart in age but, from the rear, it’s a very different story!
Our Riley 9 Tourer and our Delage DI Sport Boat Tail are stunning on their own but, when seen together, the resulting picture is something very special indeed.
A Boat Tail Arrives
June 14, 2023
Our 1927 Delage DI Sport Boat Tail has recently arrived at the Bridge Classic Cars workshop. This stunning classic car has come to us for a service and to fix an issue with its fuel pump.
We often get unique and interesting vehicles come through our doors but our boat tail is a particularly eye-catching car and it is already drawing lots of attention.
Almost Up And Running
June 14, 2023
Our 1984 Suzuki GSX 400T has continued its restoration progress.
The headlamp bracket and the rear lights still need to be sorted and all of the electrics are currently being positioned out of sight.
The tank will be fitted soon. Once this is fitted, it can then be decided where the electrics will go. The tank has been lowered so space is more limited. The bike will also be rewired with a new harness as this will be more time effective than trying to make the existing wiring fit.
A KTM ignition switch that fits the top yoke should be able to be re-purposed so the positions include lights ‘on’. This means that just the starter button, horn button, and dip and main will be on the bars. The bike should be complete in around 10 days, although the exhaust still needs to be fitted up.
The footrests have been positioned 5-6″ further back so, when riding, you can stretch over the bike to get a more comfortable position. The only mechanical work left to do is the exhaust and fit the bodywork, and then the wiring will be finished before the bike gets up and running.
A Finished Riley
June 14, 2023
The time has almost come to say goodbye to our 1929 Riley 9 Tourer. After spending some time in the Bridge Classic Cars workshop, it is clear to see the transformation that it has gone through.
When it first arrived, the interior needed quite a bit of work to bring it back to its current state. Fortunately, classic car technician Brian has been able to do a fantastic job and masterfully took the almost empty interior and turned it into one that perfectly fits this rare classic hill climber.
As you can see from the photos below, our Riley 9 Tourer has come a long way and we are very excited to see it return to its owner very soon.
Daimler Service
June 14, 2023
Classic car technician Steve has been servicing our 1994 Daimler Double Six.
During his work on the car, he fitted new air, fuel, and oil filters. Steve also removed the air conditioning pump and coil so he could change all 12 spark plugs. The spare wheel retainer had to be repaired as the roll pin had broken.
Steve noted that a new expansion tank cap was needed as the rubber seal on the current cap has split.
E-Type Dash
June 13, 2023
Classic car technician, and workshop manager, John has been rebuilding the dash of our very special 1968 Jaguar E-Type Series 1.5 competition project.
Once this iconic classic car has been fully rebuilt, it will be the biggest competition we have ever launched through Bridge Classic Cars Competitions as the car will be available to win.
Before that though, work will continue on the rebuild of our E-Type project.
Time For A Service
June 13, 2023
Our 1967 Austin Healey 3000 has been undergoing a service with workshop manager John.
As you can see from the photos below, some rust issues were found and will need to be resolved before it can be returned to its owner.
Starting An MG TF
June 13, 2023
Our 1955 MG TF 1500 has been under the care of workshop manager John as he has been investigating the issues the car has been having during start-up.
As the starter motor was found to not be engaging, the old starter was removed ready to be replaced. John will now move on to resolving the other issues that have been reported by the owner.
Aston Reverse Lights
June 13, 2023
Workshop manager John has been working on our very special 1955 Aston Martin DB2/4 and has been fitting new reverse lights.
Our rare Aston continues to be the focus of the Bridge Classic Cars team and it is looking better and better with each day that passes. We are sure the owner will be very excited to see it in its finished state very soon.
Prime And Paint
June 13, 2023
Various components of our 1954 Jaguar XK120 have been in the Bridge Classic Cars paint shop with classic car technician Mauro.
He has been priming the parts before painting them black ready to eventually be re-fitted to our classic Jaguar. The wheels were also in the paint booth to be primed too.
Our Jaguar XK120 will look incredible when it is fully restored and we are very excited to see its progress continue.
Chassis Repairs
June 13, 2023
Our Ford Transit MKII Tipper has been in the fabrication bay with classic car technician Chris who has been doing some welding work to repair issues with the chassis.
Since coming back from the sandblasters, our Ford Tipper has been making good progress in its restoration and once its chassis is fully repaired, work will continue to bring this workhorse back to its former glory.
First Collection Completed
June 13, 2023
Our brand new trailer was put to use almost immediately recently when it was used to collect our special competitions car – our 1973 Triumph Spitfire from its stay at the Suffolk Show.
Since then, it has continued to put itself to good use and we have no doubt that it will be a great member of the Bridge Classic Cars team for a long time to come.
Engine Out & Radio In
June 12, 2023
Since our 1978 MGB GT returned to the Bridge Classic Cars workshop recently, classic car technician Rob has removed the engine and installed a new DAB radio.
The engine was removed in order to replace the crankshaft rear oil seal. Removing the engine from a classic car is never a small job but the experienced workshop team were able to get things done in preparation for our MGB GT to go back to its owner again soon.
Metal Trim
June 12, 2023
Classic car technician Chris recently spent some time out of the fabrication bay and in the main workshop while he fitted the metal trim rail to our 1929 Rilley 9 Tourer.
As this classic hill climber is coming to the end of its time with us, it’s great to see it making good progress toward being returned to its owner very soon.
In addition to Chris’s work on our Riley Tourer, Brian has also completed quite a bit of work too. After finishing the hood and cover, he fitted everything back together. During the process of attaching the new roof, the metal trim bar was removed which is why Chris fitted his to the vehicle.
Brian went on to make the window in the back of the hood cover before cutting it out of plastic and fitting it. The rear squab was then re-installed before the rear base seat when in too.
Stud fasteners were fitted to the hood envelope cover to bring our Riley one step closer to going home.
A Stripey Stag
June 12, 2023
Classic car technician Alan has had our 1972 Triumph Stag in the Bridge Classic Cars Paintshop where he has completed a couple of jobs to get the vehicle ready to go live on Bridge Classic Cars Competitions.
After making some repairs to the driver’s side door, Alan went on to add the black stripe down the side of our Stag finishing it off beautifully.
It now won’t be too much longer until someone will be lucky enough to win this classic Stag for themselves.
Entry Is Now Open
June 9, 2023
You now have the opportunity to win our 2022 Royal Enfield Meteor 350.
This is a beautiful classic-style modern bike that is fun to ride as a weekend cruiser or on your daily commute.
With less than 200 miles on the clock, our Meteor 350 will be a great addition to any bike collection.
Tickets are now available on the Bridge Classic Cars Competitions website.
A Stag Arrives
June 9, 2023
Our 1972 Triumph Stag has entered the Bridge Classic Cars workshop and will now be prepared to be won through Bridge Classic Cars Competitions.
Before it goes live though, some paintwork will be done to add black pinstripes to the side of this classic Stag. It will also need to undergo a thorough assessment and inspection by the workshop team before a final plan of action is put in place.
It’s Back In The Workshop
June 9, 2023
After being securely stored at The Hangar for the last few weeks, the time has finally come for our 1967 Jaguar E-Type Racing Series 1 to come back into the Bridge Classic Cars workshop in preparation for its transformation to begin.
By the time it leaves us, it will look very different to its current racing persona and we are very much looking forward to seeing it move into the next chapter of its life.
Behind The Scenes With Hannah Coe
June 9, 2023
We were recently lucky enough to work with Hannah Coe as we filmed her very cool 2022 Royal Enfield Meteor 350 which will soon be available to win through Bridge Classic Cars Competitions.
Hannah is a passionate biker and has worked with some big names in the bike world, so we were very excited to spend some time with her.
Nick had a great time on the shoot and we hope Hannah enjoyed herself too. It’s always great to see an epic motorbike riding around Bentwaters and this was certainly no exception.
Everyone here at Bridge Classic Cars would like to thank Hannah for coming to see us and we are very much looking forward to finding the winner of her 2022 Royal Enfield Meteor 350 very soon.
Behind The Scenes With East Anglian Air Ambulance
June 7, 2023
The Bridge Classic Cars team recently spent some time at Bentwaters filming with some of the incredible crew of East Anglian Air Ambulance.
The shoot was for our latest classic car that has just launched on Bridge Classic Cars Competitions. This is a very special competition though as all profits will be donated to this life-saving charity.
We were extremely lucky to have the helicopter join us for the shoot, as well as getting to meet some of the skilled lifesavers that have saved thousands of lives in some extraordinarily bad situations. Watching the air ambulance fly overhead and land just a few feet away from our 1973 Triumph Spitfire and from where we were standing was an experience none of the team here will forget in a hurry.
As important as the shoot was to make sure we highlighted just how important the charity’s work is, while also demonstrating the quality of our Spitfire, it was a fun day out with a lot of laughing, and adults acting like children being so close to a helicopter!
East Anglian Air Ambulance is a charity that provides life-saving services 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Since the charity first launched in 2000, they have attended the scene of more than 30,000 accidents and given critical care to thousands of casualties in need.
A Modern Bike
June 6, 2023
Our 2022 Royal Enfield Meteor 350 has recently arrived at the Bridge Classic Cars workshop. This will soon be available to win through Bridge Classic Cars Competitions.
As it is such a new bike, it has done less than 200 miles and is a fantastic example of a classic-style modern bike.
We are very much looking forward to seeing our Meteor 350 go live and for someone to become the new owner of this incredible motorbike very soon.
In For A Service
June 6, 2023
A new addition has entered the Bridge Classic Cars workshop in the form of our 1994 Daimler Double Six.
It has come to us for a service and, while it’s here, the owner has asked if we are able to take a look at some loose trim on one of the rear doors.
We have had several Daimler Double Sixs in the workshop over the years and this one looks to be a great example.
Engine Improvements
June 6, 2023
Our 1980 MGB GT has been in the skilled hands of classic car technician Jonn as he continues to prepare it to be won through Bridge Classic Cars Competitions.
He aligned the timing marks to top dead centre on cylinder 1. The distributor was also removed, cleaned, rebuilt, and refitted to the engine.
Now that this work has been done, our 1980 MGB GT is one step closer to being won in the near future.
The final Touches
June 6, 2023
Classic car technician Jonn has been working hard to get our 1971 Ford Escort RS Mexico Recreation ready to be delivered to the lucky winner, Mark Lillington.
Jonn has recently added the finishing touches to this stunning classic car by fitting the new wheel studs that he was waiting for to finish his work. After fitting the new studs on the nearside, he did the same on the offside.
Our Mexico Recreation will soon be leaving the Bridge Classic Cars workshop and we look forward to delivering it to its new owner very soon.
A Body Removed
June 6, 2023
After being stripped, our 1954 Jaguar XK120 spent some time in the fabrication bay with technicians Monty and Chris.
While there, they braced and removed the body of our classic Jaguar from its chassis.
After being a paused project for a while, it is great to see our XK120 make good progress towards, eventually, leaving the Bridge Classic Cars workshop and getting back out on the road to be enjoyed as it should.
420SL Repairs
June 6, 2023
Classic car technician John has been working on one of the new arrivals into the Bridge Classic Cars workshop – our 1988 Mercedes 420SL
Part of his work included repositioning the immobiliser and replacing the rivnut for the rear number plate. The front bumper rubber was also replaced.
Our 1988 Mercedes 420SL continues its stay in the workshop but it won’t be too long before it’s back out on the road with its owner.
Paint Prep
June 5, 2023
Classic car technician Alan has recently stripped our 1958 Austin Healey ‘Frogeye’ Sprite in preparation for it to be painted.
He has continued this process by applying primer to the future Bridge Classic Cars Competitions prize. Once it leaves the paint shop, it will be ready to be won very soon.
