One of the most recognisable parts of a Jaguar E Type is its long, elegant bonnet. It is also one of the most beautiful shapes of any car. That is certainly true with our Fern Grey 1973 Jaguar E Type Series 3 Roadster. After the bonnet had come back from being painted and finished by […]

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, […]
The art of interior trim is something our in-house trim experts have mastered over years of experience. A great example of this is the door cards on our 1987 Mercedes 500SL. These are all being entirely made in-house in our trim shop. The fit and finish of our interior pieces is world class thanks to […]
This 1984 Jaguar XJ has recently had a respray done on it by another Bodyshop. It will be coming in soon to us here at Bridge Classic Cars to have a look at the Bonnet and Decklid. Our in-house paint and bodywork teams will assess the components and then work out a plan to get […]
This is a perfect example of the level our in-house trim experts at Bridge Classic Cars work to. The first photo shows what was left of the rear seat of the 1956 Jensen 541. There wasn’t a lot left after years of uncovered storage. But, thankfully our in-house teams could disassemble the old seat to […]
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. […]
There is always a winner with our live draws. On Thursday the 23rd of September that just happened to be Ian Spellman and Rob Richardson. The team at Bridge Classic Cars arrived as the sun slowly began its drop towards the horizon to prep the location ready for the 7 PM start. The scene was […]
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 […]
We have a rare treat coming into us here at Bridge Classic Cars very soon. This lovely little 1971 Morris Traveller 1000. This piece of British motoring nostalgia is coming in to be assessed by our in-house restoration team to see what this wonderful little car will need to be in tip-top condition. Expect to […]
Time for an update on the interior of the 1956 Jensen 541 we have here at Bridge Classic Cars. In the last update on the interior of this particular 541, our in-house trim shop had stripped the original seats back down their bases to assess their condition. Also, the colour selection pallet had been proposed […]
This lovely, honest 1970 Land Rover Series III has just arrived at the Bridge Classic Cars workshop in Suffolk, UK to begin its restoration journey. This particular Series III Land Rover will be given a full restoration for its devoted owner by our in-house restoration technicians. This wonderful little off-roader has been used and enjoyed […]
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 […]
Previously on the 1973 MG B GT V8, we were installing the electric fans to help keep that freshly rebuilt V8 cool. Another integral part of the engine is its oiling system. Our master engine-builder Ady fitted a remote oil filter housing to the MG’s engine bay. To help with the oil feed of the […]
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 […]
The latest update in the story of our unique and one of a kind 1973 Jaguar E Type Roadster Series 3 is happening underneath. Our amazing technician Scott has been fitting up the rear arms to the E Type to work alongside its GAZ adjustable coil-overs. There has been lots of measuring, and checking of […]
Recently our 1973 Rolls Royce Corniche that has been at Bridge Classic Cars was featured on Car & Classic Auction. This is a superb example of a Mulliner Park Ward Rolls Royce finished in Willow Gold over Brown which was paint in-house by our paint experts. Here’s what Car & Classic had to say about […]
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 […]
It’s a sad fact about classic cars. Sometimes, they end up sitting idle in a garage under a cover for longer than they should do. Weeks turn to months, months turn to years. That’s unfortunately what’s happened with this Triumph Spitfire. The gentleman who owns this very complete example has asked us to look into […]
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. This wonderful example of late ’60s opulence and design will be stripped all the way back to bare metal so that our amazing team of in-house Bridge Classic Cars painters can assess the condition. After that, the careful and […]
The steelwork is finally starting to go up on our new extension! The extension to our restoration workshop at Pettistree is definitely on the move now. Part of the steel frame that forms the skeleton of the new space has been firmly placed into the ground. This extension will allow us more space to restore […]
Honda Type R’s always look fantastic when finished in Championship White. Clean, crisp and purposeful. That is what the outcome will be on the 1998 Honda Integra Type R that we are currently working at Bridge Classic Cars will be by the end of the process. Our talented and experienced painter Chris has been working […]
There are only 2 more days to go on the draw for our two sensational competition cars. First up is the chance to win this very unique and quickly becoming a modern classic, 2003 Vauxhall VX220. One of just 7 finished in beautiful British Racing Green in 2003. This car has a long and detailed […]
Our unique 2003 Vauxhall VX220 has been into the workshop this week in preparation for its lucky winner for some remedial work. On inspection, our technicians found that the heater valve for the vehicle had been incorrectly fitted. Not a problem for our technician Paul. Quickly but methodically, he sorted out the issue to make […]
Goodwood. A single place so synonymous with classic motoring, it instantly is recognised by enthusiasts the world over as an event that you must attend at least once in your life. For our technician Tamas, that was this weekend. It began early to make sure that by the time he arrived at the hallowed West […]
Work has begun on the interior of our incredible ”Barn Find” 1956 Jensen 541. As you can see, it’s not in the best condition but that’s not a problem for our incredible in-house trim shop. The original interior unfortunately had succumbed to the passing of time. As you can see, there wasn’t much left after […]
