This beautiful 1964 Morgan 4/4 has been in with us at Bridge Classic Cars for a couple of issues. Most notably is the rough running from the 1600cc engine. After inspection, our in-house technician Ady discovered there was an issue with the manifold that was causing the exhaust to blow and therefore the engine to […]
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 […]
The 1955 Aston Martin DB2/4 MkI is a perfect example of the sportscar built under the supervision of David Brown during his time as the head of Aston Martin. This particular Aston Martin DB2/4 is in at Bridge Classic Cars for a full restoration. Recently it has been worked on by our master fabricator Clinton […]
This is indeed a wonderful example of 1930s excess and style. Almost industrial in its engineering but so ornate in its look. It is of course the 1930 Packard 740 Waterfield Convertible that is in at Bridge Classic Cars to have a list of jobs completed. Thankfully, the customer supplied us with copies of the […]
Bridge Classic Cars have been working on a bit of a modern classic recently. This 1998 Honda Integra Type R has previously had a list of metal work done to it by our in-house body shop along with a full engine bay clean up and resprayed in its factory Championship White. Now though, it is […]
It’s been a little while since the last update on the 1987 Daimler Double Six currently in with us at Bridge Classic Cars. Since the last time, this Daimler has had all its brightwork and trim removed for our in-house restoration team to assess anybody repairs that need to be made to preserve this classic […]
The MG B Roadster. A staple of British Sportscars for decades. Beloved by many for its small, lightweight feel but its solid reliability. This particular 1973 MG B Roadster has come into Bridge Classic Cars for recommissioning. It will be assessed by each of our in-house restorations teams to determine what needs to be done […]
Scott has been hard at work on the one-off 1973 Jaguar E-Type Series 3 Roadster that is being built here at Bridge Classic Cars. This marks a milestone in the cars journey. Since this is a bespoke E Type project for a very special client, it has had a very bespoke suspension set up. But, […]
With American V8s the first thing you notice in the engine bay is the Rocker Covers. One of the most iconic of these is the historic ”Cobra by Ford” covers that graced the tops of some of the most legendary race and sportscar engines the American continent has ever produced. Our 1967 Ford Mustang has […]
It’s not every day that you get asked to service such a rare and unique piece of American pre-war history. But when the customer arms us with the complete checklist to carry it out, there’s no question on what needs doing. One of our most senior techniains (and workshop controller) John, took charge of working […]
The last time we showed you the assessment done on the wonderful 1990 Range Rover CSK that we currently have in at Bridge Classic Cars for sympathetic restoration. After the assessment was done by our technician Mauro, the first port of call was to try and get the 3.9 litre V8 to fire into life. […]
This is probably the nicest 1998 Honda Integra Type R you will see. After having all its metalwork done, it was turned over to our amazing and talented in-house paint team to work their skills on. This Integra Type R had the engine bay prepped for painting the last time you saw it on an […]

The hen’s tooth that is our 1965 Amphicar. A lot of love and time has gone into making sure this half car/half boat is ship-shape and bristol fashion for its next lucky owner. On a glorious summers morning, our in-house marketing team headed to our favourite location at RAF Bentwaters to shoot this rare classic […]
This 1967 Ford Mustang isn’t like many others. This is a right-hand drive 1967 Ford Mustang. That does make refurbishing the suspension and steering systems a little bit trickier. But, it’s nothing our in-house restoration technicians can’t handle. The conversion was done on the car prior to its history with ourselves, apparently done during the […]
Sometimes a certain amount of delicacy must be taken to the approach of a job. Take for instance the framework for the convertible hood on a 1962 Morris Minor that we currently have at Bridge Classic Cars. Over the years, this frame must have been shut thousands of times. That put stress into the metal […]
The choice of colour on a classic car interior is a big part of any restoration. Do you try and match as closely to the original as possible or do you personalise and make it unique to your own taste? Tough call. But, our in-house trim shop team will do either request to a world-class […]
This stunning 1969 Bentley T1 will be in with us very soon for full paint restoration.

Our talented and experienced painter Chris has been working […]
After the overnight rebuild on the starter motor of their gorgeous 1961 Alvis TD21, Mr and Mrs Bradnum were able to make their appointment at Brize Fest 2021. As you may know, it was Mr and Mrs Bradnum who had coordinated the display of Alvis’ cars built between 1935 and 1962 so their attendance was […]
There’s something really quite charming about a Morris Minor. There’s something even more loveable about a convertible Morris Minor. This beautiful 1962 Morris Minor Convertible is coming into us to have its convertible hood frame repaired. Due to an unexpected gust of wind whilst the customer was out driving this stunning little classic, the hood […]
A rare sight on either side of the Atlantic, this vast and beautiful 1930 Packard Super 8 Convertible is in with us here at Bridge Classic Cars for an assessment of some work and some crucial maintenance. As with all classic cars, routine maintenance is very important. This is even more important on cars such […]
There is a simple beauty to old Daimler V8’s. This 1964 Daimler 2.5 V8 in at Bridge Classic Cars does have a bit of an issue though. There is a leak from the gearbox, but that’s nothing our amazing technicians John and Paul can’t fix. After John and Paul had confirmed there was indeed a […]
When Charles Spencer King developed the Range Rover back in the late 1960s he intended it to be a particular, useful and utilitarian vehicle but with slightly more refinement than the Series II Land Rover. Then in 1990 to commemorate the great man, Range Rover released the CSK (Charles Spencer King). 200 of these limited […]
The 1990 Range Rover CSK is important in the history of the luxury 4×4. Built to honour the memory of its creator, only a limited number were built and even fewer still remain. This particular example has been stored with us at Bridge Classic Cars in preparation for its move over to our workshop but […]
Our incredibly talented in-house trim expert Brian has been working on the roof of the 1989 TVR SII. The old roof had begun to look quite tired and had sun-bleached in places. Brian worked his magic on the material of the roof and the removable panels to give this convertible a new lease of life. […]
After the client came to see his two Jensen’s, he’s asked for some small modifications which has included changing the yellow Jensen badge to blue, adding mesh grills into the front side vents and we’ve noticed a few places where we wanted to touch up the paint. This Jensen will be leaving us very soon […]
Our 1934 Austin Seven Nippy has been completed as of today and we’re delighted to see it up and running! Gordan and Craig took it out for a test ride and it ran perfectly. With the engine and bonnet back on and all issues resolved, this little Nippy is set to go!
Kath has been working on repairing the seat squabs on our 1954 Jaguar MKVII. She has repaired the rear seat squab as the vinyl had started to come away from the squab. She applied contact adhesive and stuck it back down in place, making sure that the vinyl was sticking neatly around the edges. Kath […]
