Jonn refitted the alternator on our 1973 Porsche 914, beginning by connecting and securing the wiring to the unit before reinstalling the rear cover. Once the alternator was properly mounted, he tensioned the belt accordingly. He then proceeded with fitting the surrounding trims around the alternator. After reconnecting the battery, Jonn tested the charge rate, […]
Jon is continuing with the remedial works on the Porsche Boxter. The battery is secured down and we’ve tightened the battery terminals. The driver’s seatbelt was twisted so this is now rectified. This could only be done by undoing the bottom mount. The catalyst heat shield on the NS has now been secured to stop […]
We recently welcomed two new cars into the Bridge Classic Cars workshop. Our 1997 Porsche 911 and our 2012 BMW 320. These are on the more modern side of things for us, but they are beautiful cars nonetheless, and we are very excited to see what the future holds.
Our recent competition winner Phil has opted for delivery of his Porsche 911 rather than the cash alternative which we are thrilled about. As the car only had 5 months MOT remaining it will arrive to Phil with a nice clean bill of health having just passed a new MOT successfully, with no advisories. We’ve […]
Karl Reilly is one very lucky man having bagged himself his second prize in our competitions. Back in October 2020 Karl received the call that he had won the Triumph TR3. 4 years on, he still owns the TR3 and is now the proud owner of prize number 2, our Porsche 914. But before the […]
Captain Jack, who heads up our Marine Services has been in Monaco. While he was there, he took part in a Porsche Driving Experience organised by Monaco Marina. Held at Paul Ricard Circuit, it’s clear, even from this short video, how much fun Jack had.

A 2013 Porsche Boxter, that has been with us before, made a brief return to the Bridge Classic Cars workshop recently. It was here so that classic car technician Jonn could fit a front splitter, that the customer had supplied. Jonn, with a bit of help from workshop manager John, got the splitter on the […]

In the late 1980s, the Porsche 959 reigned as the technological supreme. A tour de force of engineering and technology proved that Porsche was at the leading edge of sports cars yet again. There was one issue with the 959 however. It was massively expensive and outrageously complicated. So, with that, Porsche engineers decided to […]
The work on the 1982 Porsche 911SC is now complete. The Porsche has been in the trim shop after coming into us at the end of last week, getting its original upholstery freshened up and put back in. When it came to us, the carpets weren’t in, the door cards weren’t attached correctly, the pockets […]
This 1982 Porsche 911 has recently arrived. The list of jobs that need addressing is the following: the door-bins need fitting, the leather restraint straps on the rear seat need fixing, the upholstery needs reviving with some form of treatment, the passenger window needs fixing because it’s stuck, the steering wheel needs re-stitching, the under-dash […]
A friend of Bridge popped in the other day and came in his lovely Porsche 911 Targa and isnt it goregous!
Our 911 has recently left us after having its final paint completed. The paint shop soothed down the paint and resembled the whale tale and body kit so it looked back to new. The whale tale had also been painted in satin black to freshen it up.
Our classic 1982 Porsche 911SC has just had its final colour applied in the paint booth and is looking fantastically shiny and fresh! We’re looking forward to seeing the final details such as the bumpers and whale tail painted and seeing the finished product.

The paint shop have been accessing what needs doing and in the process, have identified some rust, micro-bubbling, cosmetic imperfections and chips. The team have sent a sample off to be colour matched at our paint manufacturers at Lechler to replace the […]
Whilst looking over the task in hand we noticed some corrosion on the boot lid and a small piece missing from the rear bumper. With the customer’s approval we have decided to correct the corrosion and rear bumper to prevent it from deteriorating any further. This will now be part of the bigger project.
Two companies intrinsically entangled by the allure and tradition of motorsport. TAG Heuer and Porsche have both had products named after the same 1950’s motorsport race, Carrera Panamericana, for the last 70 years and now they have finally come together to fuse their engineering prowess in the form of modern classic timepiece. “We have been […]
We’ve had the honour of working on a Porsche 911 interior recently. The dashboard needed to be refurbished, so our trim shop set out to fix it up. Kath drew around the old dash in vinyl to create a template. This template was test fitted to the trim and tweaked to ensure the perfect fit. […]
