It’s been a little while since our 1996 Nissan Patrol left the Bridge Classic Cars workshop. Since then, it has undergone quite a transformation. With a new engine and a whole host of modifications, it is now a very capable off-roading machine. We were impressed with our Patrol’s all-terrain ability in its past form, so […]
A huge milestone was recently passed by the team at the Nissan Plant in Sunderland, as they have been celebrating the 11 millionth vehicle being built there, since production started in 1986.
