DB2 Engine

It has been a little while since our 1955 Aston Martin DB2/4 has had its engine fitted. However, that has now changed thanks to classic car technician Scott putting it back into the car. This is a big step in the restoration of this very rare Aston. With only 451 made, it’s important to us […]

Wheels Removed For Painting

After putting it to a vote on the Bridge Classic Cars Facebook page, it was decided that the wheels on our 1969 Morgan 4/4 1600 should be painted silver instead of keeping them their current red colour. The wheels have now been removed from our classic Morgan and they will soon be back on the […]
