Tuning and Engine Rebuilds

rsz lotus cortina shoot 019

Our team of technicians can deliver anything from a gentle tune to a full engine rebuild, all within our own engine shops here at Bridge Classic Cars.

We use only the highest quality parts and materials on our total engine rebuilds.

Thanks to highly creative team of true craftsman, we strive to ensure every engine is built to the original specification unless upgrades and modifications are requested.
