After its recent visit to the Bridge Classic Cars workshop, our 1964 Amphicar 7-70 has returned to us ready to be restored for its owner.

Our 1971 Jensen FF MKII has been in the hands of classic car technician John lately.

We love Jensens here at Bridge Classic Cars. We think they are very special cars and we have spent lots of time working on various Jensen models from Interceptors to FFs, 541, 541R, and more. One extremely special Jensen is our 1960 Jensen 541S which has recently returned to the workshop. While it has been […]

Everyone here at Bridge Classic Cars loved having this car in the workshop and it was extremely popular with visitors and on our social media channels too. Now that it is […]
It’s not every day that we get to see two classic Daimlers. It’s even more rare to see two classic Daimlers that are the same model with sequential number plates. It’s even rarer still to see two Daimlers like this that belong to a husband and wife. That’s exactly the story behind the two latest […]
Our 1979 Arrow Ferrari Daytona recently visited Hangar 111 to make use of their rolling road. This was the best way for the 6 carburettors to be correctly set up. Our Daytona is a very eye-catching car and it always draws lots of attention from any visitors we have to the workshop. Lots of progress […]
After noticing a minor fuel leak on our 1971 Jensen FF MKII, classic car technician John replaced the fuel pipe and clips. This stopped the leak and resolved the issue. However, when John started the car, the oil pressure gauge showed low pressure. After speaking with the owner of the car, it was confirmed that […]

Our 1976 Aston Martin AMV8 has recently had its new boot floor panels painted by classic car technician Scott. That wasn’t the only work completed on this classic car last week though. John conducted a check of the tracking and found that it was way out from where it should be. John adjusted the tracking […]
Classic car technicians Monty and Christian have continued their work on our 1975 Jensen Interceptor MK3. The metalwork of any car restoration tends to be the part of the project that takes a lot of time. This makes sense when you think that the bodywork is the foundation of the vehicle. The metalwork needs to […]
It’s fairly obvious that our 1940 Morris C8 Gun Tractor (Quad) is a very interesting vehicle. It is certainly very different to most of the other classic cars we have in the Bridge Classic Cars workshop. With that in mind, it makes sense that finding parts for it can be quite challenging. The water jacket […]
Progress has continued on our 1959 Jensen 541R over the last week. After previously painting the chassis, classic car technician Mauro continued his work painting various components that will eventually be re-attached to the newly painted chassis.

We recently welcomed another new arrival to the Bridge Classic Cars workshop in the form of our 1972 Rover P6 3500S.

Everyone here at Bridge Classic Cars has spent a lot of time around Jensens. Considering how rare 541’s are, we have had several in the workshop over the last few years. One very special Jensen is our 1960 Jensen 541S which has recently returned to us. After having an award-winning summer, the owner of this […]
As much as we love seeing restored classic cars leave our workshop to be enjoyed by their owners, we can’t deny that we love seeing them again too.

Our 1970 Land Rover Series IIA recently sold on MyClassics.co.uk Despite needing some restoration work, it still runs and, with a bit of care and attention, it will be a very impressive vehicle again in the future. We will be sad to say goodbye to our Land Rover but we are pleased that a new […]
Considering our 1905 Riley 9HP likely hasn’t been started since the 1940s, classic car technician Dave has been working extremely hard to get it back up and running. At more than 100 years old, you’d be forgiven for thinking that the days of our ultra-rare Riley HP running are long gone, but we are incredibly […]
Classic car technicians Monty and Christian have continued their work on our 1975 Jensen Interceptor MK3. They have been busy fabricating a range of different panels and parts for this beautiful classic car.

Our 1971 Jensen FF MKII recently had a new fuel tank installed. Workshop manager John has been modifying the breather pipes on the new fuel tank.
