Projects

Almost Up And Running

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 […]

A Finished Riley

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 […]

E-Type Dash

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. […]

Time For A Service

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

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 […]

Aston Reverse Lights

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 […]

Prime And Paint

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 […]

First Collection Completed

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 […]

Engine Out & Radio In

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 […]

Metal Trim

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 […]

A Stripey Stag

After making some repairs to the driver’s side door, Alan went on to add the black stripe down […]

A Stag Arrives

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 […]

It’s Back In The Workshop

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 […]

Hannah is a passionate biker and has worked with some big names in the bike world, so we were very excited to […]

A Modern Bike

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 […]

In For A Service

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 […]

Engine Improvements

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 […]

The final Touches

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 […]

A Body Removed

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 […]

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.

Paint Prep

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.

It’s Starting To Look A Lot Like A Jensen

Our 1959 Jensen 541R has continued to make great progress towards being fully restored, leaving the Bridge Classic Cars workshop, and returning to its owner. As classic car technician Rob continues his work rebuilding this beautiful classic car, Mauro has been painting various components black in preparation for them to be re-fitted to the car […]

Putting Our Beetle Back Together

After being primed a little while ago, classic car technician Mauro has put the panels back on our 1974 Volkswagen Beetle. More prep work will continue before our Beetle goes back into the paint booth for a new coat of paint. Affectionately known as Delilah by its owner, we are very much looking forward to […]

Painting By Numbers

After our 1964 Daimler 250 V8 was re-painted and polished, classic car technician Chris painted the number plates and the number plate backing to make sure the car looks as good as possible for when it gets returned to its owner in the near future. When you have a classic car, these seemingly small paint […]

Finishing A Paint Job

After recently returning to the Bridge Classic Cars workshop, our 1978 MGB GT has been in the paint shop with technician Chris. The paintwork that our classic MGB GT needed has now been completed and the car looks great and will soon be returned to its owner.

Finishing A Competition Car

While our 1971 Ford Escort RS Mexico Recreation is being prepared for delivery to its new owner who was lucky enough to win this stunning classic car through Bridge Classic Cars Competitions, Jonn has been fitting new wheel bearings and alloy hubs. As Jonn was working on our Mexico Recreation, he noticed that the offside […]

Ready For Competition

Our 1980 MGB GT will soon be available to win through Bridge Classic Cars Competitions. However, before that happens, classic car technician Jonn has been making some repairs and improvements to this eye-catching classic car. A new wing mirror base plate was fitted and the mirror secured in place. Jonn also fitted a new horn/indicator […]

A New Start

Classic car technician Jonn has been working on our 1963 MGB Roadster by fitting a new starter to try and resolve the starting issues the car has been experiencing. When Jonn was trying to remove the old starter, he was unable to remove it from the engine bay as it was too big to come […]
