Getting Our TR6 Ready To Be Won

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 […]

What An Arrival!

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. […]

Just Arrived

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

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 […]

Preparing A Competition Car

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 […]

Complete And Gone Home

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. […]

Lots Of Progress

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 […]

A Classic Transit

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 […]

New In – 1981 Austin Morris Mini 998

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 […]

A Big Morning For Competitions

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 […]

Pre-Delivery Work

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 […]

Replacement Wheels

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

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 […]

Getting Competition Ready

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 […]

Working On Our Clyno

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.

Ready To Be Won

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 […]

A Competition Car Arrives

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 […]

Ready To Go

Our 1990 Rover Mini Cooper has been going through its pre-delivery inspection with classic car technician Jonn. During his inspection, Jonn noticed that the rev counter wasn’t working correctly. To resolve this, he swapped the fascia of a replacement and rebuilt it in the old cluster. After adjusting the rheostat for the rev counter, everything […]

Assessing A Future Competition Car

Classic car technician Jonn has been assessing our 1976 TVR 2500M in preparation for it to soon go live on the Bridge Classic Cars Competitions website. Jonn set up the jet depths and noticed that there was debris in the float bowls. Once this was sorted, the inspection could continue. Jonn was happy that all […]

New Tyres

On the 8th of August, Terry Lees won our 1934 Morris Eight Tourer in the Bridge Classic Cars Competitions live draw. Before being delivered to Terry, the vehicle has been undergoing a pre-delivery inspection. During this inspection, classic car technician Jonn wasn’t completely satisfied with the tyres that were on the car. As a result, […]

New In – 1996 Rover Metro Cabriolet

Our 1996 Rover Metro Cabriolet has recently arrived at the Bridge Classic Cars workshop. While the plan is for the car not to be with us long, it will spend a short period of time in the workshop before being sold in the very near future.

An Injured Morris Minor Returns

Our 1960 Morris Minor is returning to the workshop following an unfortunate bump. While parked at home, this beautiful classic was hit by a passing vehicle causing damage to various parts. Amazingly, this is actually the second time the car has experienced this type of accident. Back in 2021, we welcomed it back into the […]

A DB2/4 Throwback

We have been given some photos of our 1953 Aston Martin DB2/4 from earlier on in its life. Even in the black and white pictures, it’s clear to see that this is (and has always been) a beautiful car that perfectly displays the style, elegance, and luxury that Aston Martin has long been known for. […]

Back For A Service

Our 1991 Volkswagen Transporter T4 has returned to the Bridge Classic Cars workshop for a full service. Classic car technician Jonn has been checking it over and has found some issues that he is working to resolve. One of the wheel cylinders is seized and one of the wheel rims is badly cracked. Jonn cleaned […]

Amphicar Back In Paint

Classic car technician has been hard at work on our 1964 Amphicar 770 again. After undergoing several rounds of repairs on its body, it’s great to see the car now starting to come back together again.

New Wheels For Our E-Type

Some new wheels have arrived for our 1968 Jaguar E-Type Series 1.5. As this is now live on the Bridge Classic Cars Competitions website, it’s great to see this example of one of the most recognisable (and iconic) classic cars move into the finishing stages of its build.

Work Begins On Our Austin Healey 100-6

Our 1957 Austin Healey 100-6 hasn’t long been in the Bridge Classic Cars workshop following its long trip over to us from South Africa.

Taking A Closer Look At Our DB2/4

A 1953 Aston Martin DB2/4 has recently joined our personal collection. While this is exciting enough, this car appears to be extra special, as there are strong indications that this could actually be the 10th example ever built by the renowned British automotive brand. The 1953 Aston Martin DB2/4 holds a significant place in automotive […]

Fixing An Air Con Issue

Classic car technician Steve has been resolving an issue with the air conditioning in our 1973 Jaguar E-Type Roadster Series 3. After removing the dash, Steve was able to gain access to the a/c wiring and control switches. The fault was traced back to the a/c control variable resistor switch so this was taken apart, […]
