Improvements To Our AMV8

Classic car technician Steve has been making some improvements to our 1976 Aston Martin AMV8. Steve fitted new spark plugs, new wiper blades, and a new fuel filter too.

Pre Delivery Checks

Our 1962 Hillman Minx is live on the Bridge Classic Cars Competitions website and will be won very soon. Before it goes to the lucky winner though, classic car technician Jonn has been giving it a pre-delivery inspection to make sure it is ready to go when the time finally comes for it to go […]

Pre Delivery Inspection

Our 1973 Reliant Scimitar was won through Bridge Classic Cars Competitions a little while ago now.

The old regulator needed to be bypassed, […]

After the wheels of our 1958 Austin Healey ‘Frogeye’ Sprite were refurbished, classic car technician Mauro put them back onto the car. Refurbished wheels make a big difference to the final look of a classic car and, as you can see from the photos below, our Frogeye wheels are no exception to this. Our 1958 […]

No More Cowboys

Since our 1977 Lambretta Jet 150 came into the Bridge Classic Cars workshop, there has been a lot of discussion about whether the vinyl cowboy stickers should be left on or removed before it goes live on Bridge Classic Cars Competitions. In the end, it was decided to remove them during the preparation process of […]

Ready To Go Back Together

Our 1974 Volkswagen Beetle is coming to the end of its stay in the Bridge Classic Cars paint shop. Before it leaves though, Chris has been finishing the painting of our classic Beetle known as Delilah. After it came out of the paint booth and Chris had worked his magic, you can see from the […]

Rob cleaned up […]

A Busy Paint Shop

The Bridge Classic Cars Paintshop has been pretty busy lately. One of the cars being worked on by the paint team is our 1967 Austin Healey 3000.

Small Jobs Make All The Difference

It may seem like a very small job but, workshop manager John has cleaned the ashtray of our 1976 Aston Martin AMV8. As the interior of our classic Aston is coming together, making sure each part is looking its best will go a long way in making the finished car look incredible. With this much […]

Painting Our Frogeye Bonnet

Classic car technician Alan has been putting the last bit of paint onto our 1958 Austin Healey Frogeye Sprite. He has been prepping, priming, and painting the bonnet of this future competition car. One of the great things about a Frogeye Sprite is that the bonnet looks very happy to have a new coat of […]

Porsche Improvements

Our 2007 Porsche Cayman S has been undergoing some minor improvements in preparation for it to be won through Bridge Classic Cars Competitions. The windscreen sticker has been removed. This might seem like a very minor change but, it has made a big difference to the overall look of the attention-grabbing sports car.

Still Enjoying Our Competition MGB

After he won our 1975 MGB GT V8 back in January, our good friend Steve is clearly still enjoying his classic car, and making good use of it, as you can see from his social media posts below. It seems that Steve isn’t the only one who admires ‘Velma’ as the car is now known.
