The Winners Circle – Winner of the 1973 Triumph TR6 Comes to Collect Her Car
June 15, 2022
Yesterday, the Bridge Classic Cars team welcomed Valerie to our restoration workshop to collect her 1973 Triumph TR6 she won through Bridge Classic Cars Competitions.
Valerie came down to take delivery of her beautiful Saffron Yellow TR6 and to have a look around our workshops at some of our restoration projects. Whilst she was collecting the car, we found out it was Valerie’s birthday! What a day it would be. Valerie, her son and her partner made the trip from Norfolk to collect the car and drive it home.
It’s always an incredible part of the story when you get to see someone’s reaction for the first time seeing their new classic in the metal for the first time. As Valerie said, the morning after she had won the car she still couldn’t believe it and had to ask if she had actually won it. This isn’t the first car Valerie won however, in 1991 she won a brand new Rover Metro through a competition by Heinz.
Still, this TR6 is a beautiful addition to the family so this morning Valerie sent us over a photo of ”Caramac” alongside the family Delorean in its new home.
We all want to wish Valerie many happy miles and hope she enjoys her new classic.
And here’s the video of Valerie collecting her 1973 Triumph TR6 from the Bridge Classic Cars workshop:
Boots On – Replacing the Steering Rack Boots on the 1959 Triumph TR3
May 25, 2022
The Bridge Classic Cars workshop have welcomed back this beautiful 1959 Triumph TR3 to our Suffolk HQ to carry out a series of small jobs on the classic sports car.
Firstly, the team have replaced the cracked and split steering rack boots from the car. Whilst the old boots were removed, the team took the opportunity to inspect and regrease all the necessary parts and to check the full operation of the rack in the car. Then, the new boots were put into place and the system rechecked for any binding or interference.
Lastly, the team gave the beautiful TR3 a full check over for the customer before we sent it on its way back home to its owner just in time for summer.
Behind the Scenes – Shooting our 1973 Triumph TR6
May 20, 2022
The Bridge Classic Cars Competitions teams have been out at our filming location to shoot our latest competition car, a 1973 Triumph TR6.
The team picked a perfect day for it. A series of delicate clouds against the pale blue sky above the Suffolk countryside was the perfect backdrop for the Saffron Yellow classic Triumph. Before this, the Bridge Classic Cars restoration workshop went over the car from head to toe in order to give it the green light to be driven around our filming location.
As the Suffolk air filled with the raspy sounds of the straight-4, the bright yellow drop-top whipped around with an air of excitement and freedom. A tool purely for the joy of driving. And now, we want you to experience this wonderful feeling.
Just head over to the Bridge Classic Cars Competitions now and enter for your chance to win this absolutely stunning 1973 Triumph TR6.

On An Adventure – 1973 Triumph TR6 Begins Its Road Trip
April 13, 2022
The 1973 Triumph TR6 that has been restored by us here at Bridge Classic Cars has begun its newest adventure.
The Magenta TR6 was built for our friend Stephen Norman by our restoration workshop who recently came to our Suffolk HQ to test and shakedown the car ahead of its use on his planned holiday.
The car was delivered by us just outside of Folkstone where its owner awaited the arrival of this very special classic TR6. The car is going to be road tripped to the South of France for several week’s holiday, taking in the sights and sounds of a beautiful holiday in one of the most stunning locations in Europe.
Safe travels! and we can’t wait to see the TR6 enjoying the sun.
