This Just In – 1965 Porsche 912
February 1, 2022
This morning, Bridge Classic Cars collected its latest project. A beautiful 1965 Porsche 912 will be heading into our Suffolk HQ to be assessed and worked on by our in-house restoration teams.
Tom and Nick headed to the Suffolk/Essex borders to collect the car in our enclosed transporter for its journey back to the workshop. The sun was sharp and bright which only added to the beauty of the car as it sat dormant in the shed. So, it was the perfect opportunity to show you the care and attention we give to every car that Bridge Classic Cars transports and to take you behind the scenes of a make and model we are seeing more and more of.
This car is being worked on by ourselves on behalf of our friend Garry and noted Porsche specialist Howard Watts. We’re excited to play our role in the project of getting the 912 to look its absolute best for the project.
The car was carefully moved out and into position behind the transporter before inch-by-inch moving forward into its temporary shelter.
Once the 912 arrived back at our Pettistree workshop, it was unloaded ready for its inspection by our paint and body team. From there, it will be worked on, perfected and then finished in a stunning dark red.
We cannot wait to show you the progress that the in-house team at Bridge Classic Cars makes on the 1965 Porsche 912. So, make sure you keep a lookout here on our News Page and also on our Social Media pages.

It’s always a lovely sight to see our previous projects out in the world. An example of this is the 1967 Austin Mini 850 owned by our friend Simon Benton.
This Mini was aesthetically restored by Bridge Classic Cars last year in preparation for its all-electric conversion done by Team C Racing and Electric Classic Cars. The car arrived at our workshop as a shell, then our in-house paint and body team got to work getting this wonderful classic Mini back to better than new condition before its date with the workshop in Wales for the conversion.
You can see more on this project in the upcoming Discovery Channel series about the car.

One More Step – Number Plate Lights on the Alfa Romeo Spyder
January 26, 2022
Mauro, one of the in-house restoration technicians here at Bridge Classic Cars, has been working on the Alfa Romeo Spyder we have in our workshop.
As part of the list of work needed, Mauro began looking into the rear number plate lights. Apart from being severely discoloured, the didn’t really work. So, a set of replacements were ordered.
Now that these have arrived into stock with us here at Bridge Classic Cars, Mauro can begin fitting them to the car. These were exact replacements so it was simply a case of removing the old ones and fitting the new ones in their places then plugging them in.
With these lights in, Mauro began to test them and all the other lighting systems and everything worked perfectly on this stunning classic Italian convertible.
On Its Way – South African Sunbeam Rapier
October 1, 2021
Some of our cars come from further afield than others. Take for instance this lovely Sunbeam Rapier.
Now you might be able to tell by the photos that this car isn’t coming in from the UK. This car has actually called the continent of Africa home for its life. Specifically South Africa.
It will be coming into us to be assessed and have its new home here in the UK. Recently this car has done an epic 1800km road trip from Johannesburg to Pringle Bay with its owner. The car itself had been restored by Rapier expert Barney Curtis before his passing.
The owner in South Africa wrote a wonderful piece in the Summer 2019 edition of Cut & Thrust about this road trip and the most important thing we took away from it was that it never skipped a beat thanks to the work done by Barney Curtis.
Expect to see more on this Sunbeam when it arrived with us later on.
