Repairing Our Damaged DB9
May 25, 2023
Our 2005 Aston Martin DB9 has been in the Bridge Classic Cars paintshop recently as the damage it sustained gets repaired.
Once the damaged areas were stripped and repaired, the paintwork in those areas was repaired too. After fully preparing the car and priming it, the previously damaged area was painted and, as you can see from the photos below, our DB9 is already looking like it’s on the way to a full recovery!

Enjoying A DB9

Nick Jones was the lucky winner of our 2005 Aston Martin DB9 back in December last year. Since he took delivery of his new car, Nick has clearly been making the most of it, and recently sent us an update on how life as a DB9 owner has been going.
He has had bespoke luggage made for the Aston. It was made by Bagworld in Redditch and Nick is also getting a holdall made up too as there is enough room in the boot for a holdall to sit on top of the cabin bags he had previously made. A personalised number plate has also been added.
Nick told us that he is thoroughly enjoying the car and still can’t believe that it only cost him £15! Now that we have had two double winners, Nick continues to enter in the hope that he might one day be our third!
We love hearing from our winners and it’s always great to hear that they are loving the vehicles they won through Bridge Classic Cars Competitions.
Thank you to Nick for sharing the below images and update with us, we are very happy to see the DB9 is being appreciated and enjoyed as it should.
A New Look – Wheels for the 2005 Aston Martin DB9 Refinished
January 31, 2022
The wheels for the 2005 Aston Martin DB9 have come back from refurbished by the guys over at WheelWorx.
The wheels for the DB9, which belongs to our Director Craig, have made their way back to the Bridge Classic Cars workshop to be fitted by WheelWorx master tech, Jamie. The wheels have been finished in a smoke grey, high shine finish to add a new look to the overall feel of this stunning Aston Martin GT car. Bridge Classic Cars have worked closely with the guys at WheelWorx for many years on projects that require wheel refurbishment or refinishing.
Now that the wheels are back onto the car, the DB9 will be cleaned and put away into storage until better weather.
Back in the Game – Refitting the Power Steering Pump to our 2005 Aston Martin DB9
November 8, 2021
Bridge Classic Cars in-house restoration technician Mauro has been working on refitting the power steering pump to Craig, our directors, 2005 Aston Martin DB9.
After the refurbished part arrived back to us here in Pettistree, Mauro began to get the component set up to go back into the engine bay alongside the famous 6 litre V12.
Carefully Mauro reinstalled the pump back onto the engine and began to close the hoses into the correct positions. After this, he methodically went through every clamp to ensure the seals were right and then topped up the fluid.
From there, it was tested by our in-house team and reinspected.

Soon it will be refitted to the glorious V12 that is an integral part of the DB9 that belongs to our director, Craig.
DB9 Ceiling Lining
July 2, 2021
Kath and Brian have been working on recovering the ceiling lining in Craig’s Aston Martin DB9. Brian begun by undoing the side panels above the window and unclipping the headliner panel. He then removed the cover and foam so that he was able to glue the cover back down to the panel, making sure he glues the excess flap to the back. Once the headliner had its new cover, he could fit it back in place with Kath’s help.
DB9 Completion
June 23, 2021
We’ve now almost finished working on Craig’s 2005 Aston Martin DB9 which alongside its paint and trim work, needed the power steering addressing, the rear light replacing due to a leak, the driver’s door rubber seal replaced and the inside door handle mounts refurbishing.
The interior door handle mounts were previously worn and exhausted so we took them apart, cleaned them and repainted them so that now that look good as new.

Craig, Director here at Bridge Classic Cars, has recently purchased this gorgeous V12 Aston Martin DB9. In need of a service and keen to preserve it’s full main dealer history, we sent our DB9 over to Nick and Kevin at Stratstone Motor Company of Long Stratton.
The customer service received was a breath of fresh air. Knowledgeable, friendly and efficient, it’s a pleasure to have delft with both Nick, (Service Executive) and Kevin, (General Sales Manager). They were familiar with Bridge Classic Cars as a brand and have been keeping tabs on our Classic Car Competitions.
We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Stratton Motor Company to any of our clients for Lotus’ or Aston Martin’s.
Aston Martin Arrival
February 2, 2021
Craig has recently purchased a new car which we’re sorry to say isn’t our next competition car. This beautiful modern Aston will be Craig’s new everyday car which will bring a dash of Aston class to our staff car park! Its come all the way from Southampton and was collected at the same time we dropped our Corvette off with its new owner. We love it when a plan comes together – two new happy owners in one day.
We expect to be doing a few touch ups on it however its not in need of anything major. The first step is a thorough service.
