Our workshop team think about every part of the vehicle they are restoring. For example, classic car technician Alan has been giving his attention to the mud flaps of our 1987 Volvo 240GL. Alan repaired the mud flaps before painting them in textured satin black. Our classic Volvo has come a long way since it […]
Another beautiful classic car has arrived at the Bridge Classic Cars workshop. This time it is our 1959 Jaguar XK150 that has come in to be prepped for an MOT. While classic cars older than 40 years are exempt from needing an MOT, it can be reassuring to have them put through their paces to […]
As much as we don’t particularly want to sell our 1969 Mercedes 220, unfortunately, our storage facility is about to undergo some changes so a lot of our personal projects need to find a new home. This is a beautiful classic car that will no doubt be a lot of fun for its new owner. […]

Our 1969 Morris Minor 1000 Convertible has a new carpet! Lydia cut and shaped the underlay before glueing it into the car. She then cut and fit the new carpet on top of this. She also did some work on some of the components that will hold the front seats in place. Lydia sandblasted these […]
Classic car technician Alan has once again been repairing and replacing parts of the fibreglass body of our 1956 Jensen 541. He ground back the cracks in the bonnet before covering it in a new sheet of fibreglass. In addition to this, Alan also reinforced all the bonnet supports as they were weak and loose. […]
Another classic car has arrived at the Bridge Classic Cars workshop. All the way from America comes our 1976 Aston Martin AMV8. As always, it will now be checked over by our classic car technicians before a plan of action is put in place to get it back out on the road.
We always love a new arrival at the Bridge Classic Cars workshop and this one seems to be generating quite a bit of interest. Our 2008 Mercedes SL63 arrived earlier today and is now being prepared for its inspection and assessment by our classic car technicians. Once it has been looked at, a plan for […]
Our 1987 Volvo 240GL is being gradually put back together as each task is completed. Recently, the bumpers and the headlamps were cleaned before being refitted to the car. As everything is being reassembled and refitted, this classic car is starting to look as good as we knew it would.
When we launched our 1959 MGA Twin Cam on Bridge Classic Cars Competitions earlier this year, we knew that it was an extremely special car. The story of this classic car has been an interesting one from the start but it’s not quite over yet. Since being won by Peter Leyland, the car is still […]
Our 1981 Volkswagen Scirocco Storm is currently available to win in our latest Bridge Classic Cars Competitions.

What you won’t see though, is the hard […]
Our 1966 Ford Cortina GT 1500 may have only been in the workshop for a day or two but Brian has already given it some attention by replacing the door panels. It’s jobs like this that can make a big difference to the overall look and finish of a car. Our Cortina is in great […]

After attaching the transmission tunnel cover, he then refitted the tunnel into the car before fitting the carpet. He then went on to fit the side panels, and refit the rear seat, before giving the new carpet a […]
There aren’t many people out there who haven’t owned or know someone who has owned a Ford Cortina. With millions of units sold during its production between 1962 and 1982, this car really is one to bring feelings of nostalgia and memories of good times. This is why we are excited that our 1966 Ford […]
Looking after a classic car brings some additional responsibilities than looking after a modern car. Something that you may not have considered is classic car storage. With a newer car, you’ll likely be driving it on a regular basis. However, with a classic, it may be parked up for extended periods of time – over […]
We recently put our 1960 Rover 80 up for sale. As much as we would have loved to see it fully restored in our workshop, unfortunately, our workload is just too much for it to become one of our current projects. We are very happy that a new owner has been found through MyClassics.co.uk and […]

To get our 1975 Jensen Interceptor MK3 back on the road, some new body panels were needed. We now have these and they will soon be fitted to the car as it continues to move through its restoration journey. We found it very exciting to see the new panels sitting on the shell of the […]
Chris has been working on our 1986 Daimler DS420, putting on the epoxy primer ready for further painting. He first masked the car and gave it a final rub down before applying the primer. This will create a good base for the top coat of paint to bond to. It will also prevent corrosion and […]
Before our 1970 MGC Roadster leaves us to go to its new owner, classic car technician Paul has been rebuilding and refitting the carburetters. This classic car was won through Bridge Classic Cars Competitions and will soon be leaving us for the last time as it begins the next chapter of its life on the […]

It’s been a little while since our 1969 Mercedes 280SL (Pagoda) left the Bridge Classic Cars workshop.

For the last few weeks, the interior of our 1958 Jensen 541R has been getting lots of attention from Lydia and Brian. Recently, Lydia turned her attention to the boot of the car – specifically, the boot carpet. After lots of measuring, cutting, making patterns, and double-checking everything, Lydia was able to get the boot […]
It’s mad to think that our incredible collaboration with Lotus and Community Sports Foundation, that saw Alex win the truly special and unique Lotus Elise Sport 240, was almost a year ago! Earlier today and we caught up with Sam and the team from CSF at their stomping ground to see Norwich City take on […]
Work has been completed on the inner wheel arch of our 1987 Volvo 240GL. This involved using seam sealant and adding an additional coating to the arch for added durability and toughness.
