On Saturday 4th January 2020 we opened the doors of Bridge Classic Cars Hangar showroom for an exclusive car club coffee morning.
Until now, not many people were aware of this side to Bridge Classic Cars but our hangar is located within the grounds of the iconic RAF Bentwaters in Rendlesham. The private showroom is not often open to the general public but with the new year brings new ideas and it was a wonderful opportunity to open the doors, enjoy the open space and for like-minded automotive enthusiasts to get together to talk all things cars…with some bike and plane conversations going on too!
The sun was shining brightly for us on the day, which saw classics, vintage, sports and supercars from all over the region getting together to enjoy a thoroughly brilliant free event.
And we received some amazing feedback too so we are sure to be hosting many more events like this in 2020…
David Frost: “Roadtrip to Bridge classic cars open day at Bentwaters,was a nice variety of cars.A few of the 100 FMEG were there.Free refreshments as well,a great turnout for January.”
Robert Brooks: “Great day out nice to see some of my friends well organised.”
Jake Jacobs: “Had a very good morning at Bridge Classic Cars Bentwaters this morning, great people, cars, weather & coffee?? ——- it was great to get the Mustang out?? “
Bryan Davidson: “Enjoyable morning relaxing with a Cup of tea, having a chat and seeing some lovely classics. Many thanks to Bridge Classic Cars for putting on this event “
Keith Barry: “Good get together, thanks for the coffee and food.”
Anthony: “Took the Ford Pop out for its longest trip in over 10 years and wasn’t disappointed. What a great turnout and such a huge range of great cars. Free coffee as well. The Pop even made a friend there.”
Chris and Elaine Bone: “Enjoyed the visit, great turnout, ours needs a wash now!”
Mary and Bill: “Lovely morning with fellow petrol heads, we really enjoyed it.”
Peter Mould: “I wanted to thank you for putting on today’s event. It was great to see an array of vehicles from many different decades.”
Ted: “Can I thank you for putting on the open morning, there were some great cars there, & the coffee & croissants where nice too.”
Ian Leggett SVEC: “Good turn out on Saturday. Thanks for the opportunity to see your cars and also for the coffee and snacks which kept us warm.”

This lovely 1963 Morris Minor 1000 will be worked on at the beginning of 2020. This cherished vehicle is in for restoration works with us at Bridge Classic Cars.
The shell for our 1960 MG A has arrived. Paul is still building up the chassis at this stage but shortly this shell will head down to the Paint shop shop. Once there, it will be prepped for refurbishment and paint, before being mounted onto the then rolling chassis.
Congratulations to Justin, who recently purchased this wonderful British Racing Green Vauxhall VX220 from Bridge Classic Cars.
This weekend, using our covered vehicle transporter, Gordon and Mauro hand delivered our VX220 to Justin in Tewkesbury.

Paul has continued work on our MG A complete restoration. There was damage to the rear differential but Paul has now welded that up in preparation for its refit into the car.
As part of our work reconditioning this Jaguar we’ve completed a couple of repairs. There was a leak in the brake like, so we replaced the copper sealing washer. A hold had also formed in the nearside rear bodywork. Dave has repaired the hole and will underseal it later today.
The boot and doors off our Triumph TR6 complete restoration are now being prepared in the paint shop by Darren. They have been ground back to bare metal and had the badly corroded areas removed. From there, we’ve welded in fresh metal which will be ground back and sanded down to a smooth finish.
Our 1957 Jensen Bonet has been down to the paint shop for preparation. It will be fully prepped and primed before it receives its colour coat. There is a couple of quite substantial cracks that will need repairing for a perfect surface to be achieved.
Andrew and Ady have been hard at work this morning fitting the engine and gearbox into our E Type Racecar. Having reached another one of this build’s big milestones, we’re all the more excited to see this lovely machine back. E-Type’s have a wide variety of prop shaft lengths. We’re now looking to source the correct one for our engine and gearbox.
We recently visited the Ox Pasture Hall Hotel in Scarborough. On a recent vehicle transportation trip, we stumbled upon this hidden gem. Genuinely one the best hotels we’ve stayed at in recent memory, we would like to thank the Hotel Staff for such a wonderful experience. We will certainly be back the next time we’re visiting the North York Moores.
The dash has been dismantled and is now being sandblasted. Once sandblasted, it will be ready to be repainted and then reinstalled back onto the MG A during the interior refit stage.
Mauro and Pete were busy delivering a recent sale this weekend. This lovely Rolls Royce was loaded onto one of our trailers and delivered to our client in Westminster, London.
Did you know Bridge Classic Cars offers vehicle transportation? Get in touch with our friendly team today if you need a vehicle transported.
In July of this year we finished restoration works on this stunning one owner MGB GT. Since then the car has been thoroughly enjoyed by it’s owner. As such, it has come back to us at Bridge Classic Cars to fix some minor running issues.
There are minor issues with the door locks, dash lights and a slight gear lever rattle. All of which should be fairly straightforward for our classic car technicians to fix.
We love to see the cars we work on being driven and enjoyed by their owners. Its lovely to see this GT looking in such fabulous condition with a fresh lease of life.
Coming into our workshop today is this lovely little Fiat 850 Sport Spider. We hope to have the little 850cc engine firing soon. Then we will inspect the vehicle an prepare for sale. There is no doubting this 850 is in need of restorative works to get it fit for road use once more.
The rear clear, lightweight plastic window has now been refitted to the car.
The window was in a severely damaged state. However, Tom has been able to polish up the rear window, ready for it to be installed into the car once more.
Next on the Grantura is making the windscreen fluid reservoir and plumbing that into the vehicle.
Potentially coming in for restorative works is this Peugeot 304 Cabriolet. There would need to be quite major works, overhauling a vast majority of the vehicle needed to bring this car up to our high standards.
This morning the engine and gearbox have gone into our Jensen 541R chassis. See below for a timelapse of John and Paul guiding the engine into place.
It’s all in the finer details here at Bridge Classic Cars. Our Ford Escort RS2000 is now looking beautiful, we’ve applied pinstripe decals and badges. We’ll be sad to see this car leave us but we can’t wait to see it enjoyed by its owner once more.
The exciting Suzuki GSX 400T Cafe Racer project continues! We’ve stripped down the bike and are assessing which parts will be modified, which parts will be replaced and which parts will be surplus to requirements. We’ve had the engine running again and it looks to be in fairly good condition. Most of the work required on the bike will be cosmetic to fit it’s new, tougher Cafe Racer look. The next steps will see Paul, our motorcycle expert at Bridge Classic Cars Refurbishing parts that will be re-installed onto the motorcycle.
Our MG A chassis has visited our in-house paint shop here at Bridge Classic Cars . It’s now back in the workshop ready for Paul to begin re-assembily. As with all of our restoration projects, we endeavour to refurbish components to as new quality. If we do have to replace components, it will always be with the highest quality parts for the vehicle. The next step will now be to build up the suspension units and then get it on wheels.
We’ve made great progress on our 1973 Triumph TR6 restoration in the past few weeks. Coming in as a complete restoration, the chassis is now fully prepared and painted. The fuel tank and radiator have been refurbished and painted to the highest standard. Next up for this TR6 is adding the suspension, running gear, engine and gearbox to our freshly prepared chassis.
Tuesday 10th December saw one of the last classic car auctions of 2019. At the Sandown Racecourse, Barons hosted another wonderful auction. We would like to extend our thanks to Barons for their wonderful hospitality. Below is a selection of the wonderful cars that were presented for auction.
Arriving to us soon at Bridge Classic Cars is this lovely luxurious BMW 640D M Sport. Upon it’s arrival, the car will be taken into our workshop and given a full mechanical inspection so its ready for sale at our Showroom. Is there any finer way to get around than with the top down in this lovely specced 640D?
We had a wonderful time visiting Denis Welch Motorsport. They’ve carried out work on the Jensen 493 Engine that will soon be transplanted back into the freshly painted chassis. It’s now been mounted to the fully refurbished gearbox. It was truly a pleasure to visit the wonderful workshop!
How good does this Porsche 930 Turbo now look!? After leaving our paint shop, the rear end of this lovely classic Porsche is looking beautiful once more.
What a lovely surprise at Bridge Classic Cars today. This lovely hamper was generously gifted to us from SNG Barratt. We would like to say a huge thank you to Pete, Alex and the entire SNG Barratt team for their fantastic service. They are absolutely the best in the game when it comes to Jaguar Parts for our restoration projects.
We look forward to continuing working with you through the New Year, breathing a fresh lease of life into Jaguars for many years to come. Merry Christmas!
Ahead of Mauro and Pete’s trip over to Rushton Engineering / International Restorations in Exeter this morning, Mauro has given our trailer a thorough strip down and service.
This preventative maintenance is essential to keep our fleet of vehicles rolling along without any issues. Our 1972 Series 3 Jaguar E-type will now be brought back to our Suffolk workshop to continue this vehicle’s restorative works.
Upon close inspection, we’ve found a fault with the MGB’s Starter motor and Distributor. Ady, Bridge Classic Cars’ engine specialist is now on the case to either repair or replace the faulty components.
This weekend we picked up this lovely green MGB Roadster, soon to be up for sale with us at Bridge Classic Cars. Before it enters our showroom it will be subject to a full mechanical inspection, ensuring this lovely sports car is fighting fit for its next owner.
