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 […]
We’ve manufactured a new stainless steel exhaust as the original was rusty.

Our 1915 Model T’s front seats went down so well with its owner, he’s requested that we also cover the bench seats in the back with the same intricate hand styled buttoned leather.

We’ve just welcomed this quirky barn find 1959 Ford Anglia into the Bridge Classic Car family.

We’ve been working on getting this 1915 Ford Model T up and running again, starting with refreshing the brakes. On this age car, the brakes are drum and steel which are only located on the back. We’ve taken the wheels off the back right hand side to find they’re totally dry and looking well. We’ve […]
Our 1915 Ford Model T took a bit of encouragement to start, but when it did, it ran perfectly! Having sat in a barn for a while, this Ford needed some help to start up, from being towed behind the van and being pushed, but once the engine turned over, it ran really well. Our […]
