1964 Rover P5 Coupe – The Assessment Begins

As it recently arrived at the Bridge Classic Cars workshop, our 1964 Rover P5 Coupe needs to undergo a thorough inspection and assessment from our experienced team of classic car technicians.

Paul has begun his initial assessment of this beautiful classic car as preparations begin for it to be offered as a competition car through Bridge Classic Cars Competitions.

Our 1964 Rover P5 Coupe impressed Paul as, from first impressions, it looks to be in good shape. However, Paul did notice that, despite the car being well cared for and maintained, it appears that one of the brake shoes was fitted incorrectly.

This has now been resolved and the inspection and assessment of our 1964 Rover P5 will continue until Paul and the rest of the workshop team are completely satisfied that it is ready for someone to win.

Primed And Ready

After undergoing recent work to resolve rust issues, our 1999 Rover BRM has had its primer applied and is now ready for its top coat of colour.

The car spent some time in our paint shop with classic car technician Chris as he prepared it for its primer before applying it too. As you can see from the photos below, lots of care and attention is given to this type of task to ensure high-quality paint work once work on the car has been finished.

Our 1960 Rover 80 Is For Sale

Our 1960 Rover 80 came into our workshop after we took it on as one of our current projects from a previous customer. As much as we think this car has huge amounts of potential and will very likely go on to be a beautifully restored car, the time has come for it to leave us and move on to a new owner, as our workload is too full to complete it ourselves.

There is some rust on the front nearside wing but, other than that, the car is complete and was running as it should when the workshop team was working on it previously.

All the details you need about the car can be seen on MyClassics.co.uk, where the car is listed for sale.

Original Wheels Refurbished And Back In The Workshop

Our 1999 Rover BRM arrived at the Bridge Classic Cars Workshop with the incorrect aftermarket wheels fitted. After we were able to source a set of original BRM wheels, we sent them off to Wheelworx to be refurbished ready to be fitted onto the car.

The newly refurbished wheels have just arrived back at the workshop and they are looking just as good as we thought they would.

Having the original wheels will go a long way in bringing this classic car back to all of its former glory. We are really excited to see them on the car and we look forward to the first drive with a set of original wheels on this classic Rover.

Raving Mad For Rovers

Recently we’d looked at buying these two Rovers P5B’s as seen below. Could a few new rovers be on our horizon? We certainly wouldn’t be complaining…
