After being painted, our 1980 MGB GT has been put back together and started the process of going through its pre-filming check, ready for it to be filmed very soon before going live on the Bridge Classic Cars Competitions website.

We very briefly welcomed a 2010 Smart Car into the Bridge Classic Cars workshop. It may not have been with us for long but, after a quick check-over, it left us and went on to its new owner. This little car looks good and drives nicely so we are sure it will make the ideal […]
It wasn’t too long ago that our 1958 Austin Healey ‘Frogeye’ Sprite entered the Bridge Classic Cars workshop after we picked it up from Scotland. This classic Sprite actually belonged to William Gordon, who won the 1958 ‘Frogeye’ we had as a competition car through Bridge Classic Cars Competitions. When he received his prize, he […]
Back in 2021, our 1963 MGB Roadster was won through Bridge Classic Cars Competitions. It has now come back to us to investigate some issues that the owner has been experiencing.

Jonn began his assessment by checking the lights and fluid levels before jacking the car up to check its […]
Even though our 1973 Reliant Scimitar is now live on the Bridge Classic Cars Competitions website, that doesn’t mean it still doesn’t get cared for before its new owner is eventually found next week. A prime example of this is classic car technician Jonn has been making some repairs to our latest competition car to […]
Our 1962 Hillman Minx has been in the workshop being assessed by classic car technician Jonn. One of the first things Jonn noticed was that the letter I needed to be reattached to the bonnet.

We have recently made a new friend in Godfrey Schiele who is a local Aston Martin owner. His 1953 Aston Martin DB2/4 will soon be coming into the Bridge Classic Cars workshop for an assessment to see what work will need to be completed to recommission the car in the future. We already have a […]

Classic car technician Brian has continued his work on our 1929 Riley 9 Tourer.

Once the steering wheel […]
Our Ford Transit MKII Tipper may have been stripped, prepped, and sent to the sandblasters, but that doesn’t mean work on it stops in the Bridge Classic Cars workshop. In fact, classic car technician Brian has been making new boards for the door panels ready for when our Tipper comes back to the workshop and […]
More progress has been made on our 1984 Suzuki GSX 400T. The original guard was used instead of a hugger, as the arm was too narrow for this. Before deciding on a guard, huggers from Honda, Yamaha, and Aprillia were tried but they were all designed for cast alloy swing arms meaning they were too […]
Before our 1980 MGB GT goes live on Bridge Classic Cars Competitions, it has been in the paint shop being prepped and primed ready for a new coat of paint to be applied. After classic car technician Mauro finished all of his prep work and once the car was primed, the painting could begin. Now […]

When we delivered our 1958 Austin-Healey ‘Frogeye’ Sprite to William Gordon, who had won it through Bridge Classic Cars Competitions, we couldn’t help but notice the Frogeye he already owned parked up in his garage. The story ended with the Frogeye he won staying with him in Scotland and his former Frogeye coming back to […]
Classic car technician Brian has been working on our 1959 Jensen 541R and has been making parts for the dash of our rare Jensen. Brian started his work on our 541R by cutting out vinyl for the dash top. He then sanded the dash smooth before filing out the slots for the air vents. The […]

We recently received a certificate of manufacture from Vauxhall Heritage which gave us a bit more information about our Vauxhall Wingham. As a result of getting the certificate, we have updated this project as, rather than a 1937 model, our Vauxhall Wingham was actually manufactured in July 1938. As there are so few of these […]
