Sourcing a US Jaguar E-Type

We were recently approached by a good friend of Bridge Classic Cars to source a V12 Series Three Jaguar E-Type. We found this lovely example for sale from US classic car sales company, Beverly Hills Car Club.

Although the vehicle looks in fine condition, this E-Type will need to undergo a full restoration to bring it up to our exceedingly high standards. We can’t wait to see this stunning car arrive on British soil.

To keep up to date with this project and our other restoration projects here at Bridge Classic Cars, keep an eye on the ‘Projects’ section of our website.

1984 Suzuki GSX 400T Cafe Racer Project

Here at Bridge Classic Cars, we’ve just acquired this 1984 Suzuki GSX 400T motorcycle. This air cooled 400c Suzuki is in dire need some attention. As part of this vehicles restoration, we will be modifying the vehicle in cafe racer style. The current plan is to paint the bodywork cream with a tan leather cafe racer seat. The handlebars will also be lowered to create a sleeker profile to this motorcycle. We can’t wait to see where this project will lead but we’re proud to bring this tired Suzuki back to life.

We love it when clients of ours send us images like this. Thank you to the owner, Martin for sending us this fabulous picture of his 1968 Jaguar E-Type.

True Automotive Passion Shown This Weekend at Bridge Classic Cars.

We can’t get enough of working on cars! After a long week working hard on our clients restoration projects, you’d have thought the team would like nothing more but to put our their feet up on the weekend, right?

Not here at Bridge Classic Cars! The team came in to lend each other a hand, giving their own vehicles some attention this weekend. Freddie and Mauro worked on our Subaru brake hub refurbishment and Dave fixed the lights on our Volkswagen.
