Additionally, a length of foam was cut and adhered […]
Our 2010 Land Rover Defender has always been a fantastic-looking car. When it had the Bridge Classic Cars logo on the side, I think it finished the rugged look off perfectly. Since being back with us, it has had its plain black sides with no branding. However, recently, glass sides were added to our Defender […]
We filmed on location this week at Tide Mill and Woodbridge Boat Yard – the weather did not disappoint! Although despite its sunny appearance it was freezing! It was great to work somewhere different where Nick could let his artistic mind run wild, finding new fun angles and backdrops for the cars. Enter to WIN […]
Jonn test assembled the new roof tent which has now been installed on our Defender. Once it was set up and photographed, he then took the tent down and folded it away. He then fitted the weatherproof cover and secured it.
The roof tent frame was bolted together ready to go on to our Land Rover Defender, followed by the mounting of the roof bars without fully tightening them. The ladder was attached, and the weatherproof cover was fitted. The assembled tent was then lifted onto the roof bars and positioned as required. Measurements were taken […]

The Bridge Classic Cars Defender has been having some work completed recently. Lydia sanded off the sharp edges of the rear bench to avoid any future injury to passengers. She then sprayed the bare metal with black paint to finish. While Lydia did this, Mauro primed the roof ready for paint.
Lydia removed the interior panels of our 2010 Land Rover Defender. The roof had to be removed for some bodywork to take place and the play lining in the rear was removed so it could be covered.
Our 2010 Land Rover Defender has officially become part of the Bridge Classic Cars team. Since it has been in the workshop, it has proven itself to be a true workhorse, so we had no choice but to make it a Bridge vehicle. Now that it is all branded up, you might just see it […]
On 1st December 2023, we set off on a festive adventure across the Suffolk countryside – our first-ever Mince Pie Drive. The day dawned bright but extremely cold and icy.
