Ferrari Repairs
August 21, 2024
Jon has continued his work on our 1979 Ferrari 400 GT. Here are his notes:
Continue repairs where I left off. Boot release cable. New cable is too short so work out how to join cables at rear. Make bracket to support both cables in boot. Route cables and join at rear.
Not functioning as intended with joined cables at rear. Find new long bowden cable and use inner which will reach to boot lock in old outer cable. Route and mount and join to lock. Adjust and test. Keep adjusting until operates lock.
Finish boot release cable. Adjust and test, ok. Refit boot trims. Restick carpet to offside quarter panel. Resecure boot floor. Tighten connections to boot light, ok.

New cable approx 3 foot shorter so will have to join cable in boot to activate lock release. Cut old outer to length and retread inner cable. Make bracket to mount rear portion of cable. Drill out and mock up to check.
Cable hard to pull and bracket not strong enough. Remake bracket from thicker steel and mount in place. Rear cable section is a solid able and has kinks in inner so this may be reason for stiff operation. Adjust length of new cable.

Our Zephyr Looks Great
August 1, 2024
We recently welcomed our 1959 Ford Zephyr into the Bridge Classic Cars workshop.
As it was going through its initial inspection and assessment, we couldn’t help but notice just how well it has been restored over the last few years.
Usually, when the workshop team get underneath a car, there’s a surprise or two waiting for them. In this case, though, it was a very pleasant surprise as even the underside of this stunning classic seems to be in pristine condition.
5 responses to “Our Zephyr Looks Great”
My good friend John had a 1955 Mk1 Zephyr 6 that had been left in his Grandfathers will. It had 38k miles on it when we went out searching for Anglias and minis to burn off at the lights. We were 17 in 1971 and the police assumed we had stolen it when they often pulled us over in their Minor Panda Cars! I remember the lovely exhaust note and how flexible the engine was. Would pull away from 30mph in top gear with no fuss.
My Uncle Alan had a Mk2 Zodiac Automatic which seemed so exotic to me in 1966 when my fathers car was still the old Triumph Renown 1949 model. I would love this Zephyr and the gorgeous note it produces when double declutching down to 2nd. Fingers and Toes crossed!
Is it column change? Yes, it definitely is and you’d better be good with the clutch getting it away on a hill, as the 3 speed box has quiet a high ratio 1st gear. Ha ha!
PDI
July 3, 2024
Our 1971 MGB Roadster has been undergoing its PDI with technician Jonn. Here are his notes:

Horn not working and switch faulty. Engine breaths a bit from pipe to atmosphere. Remove rocker cover and get Clinton to weld a pipe outlet to front corner and order a breather catch tank to be fitted.
Rub down area around outlet welded in by Clinton. Paint with Dtm matt black and leave to dry. Refit and secure, ready for breather catch tank to be fitted.
Our Morgan Goes Into Storage
July 3, 2024
A couple of weeks ago, James Webber won our 2011 Morgan 4/4 with just over 1000 miles on the clock.
Along with the stunning car, an optional 12 months of free storage was also part of the prize that James was lucky enough to win.
As James lives in London, he has decided to keep the car in our secure storage facility for a while. He has family in our area so at some point in the near future, he will visit his beautiful low-mileage car safely tucked away in a climate-controlled Carcoon.
Congratulations again to James on winning our 2011 Morgan 4/4.
