Jaguar E-Type Sofa: available for sale

The ultimate statement piece for your home, office or workplace.

How would you like to help design and own one of the most luxurious automotive pieces ever to be produced?

Renowned for our world class classic car restorations, Bridge Classic Cars are producing the very first Chesterfield sofa and drinks display combined, using an original 1967 Jaguar E-Type bodyshell.

We are now in the design stages of the rebuild but have plenty of opportunity for the new owner to put their mark/stamp on the design process. Interior colour choices, drinks cabinet design, materials, colours can all be decided.

This would make the perfect luxury furniture piece for anyone with the space to display and the desire to own this one off-piece.

If you are interested in purchasing our Jaguar E-Type sofa and work alongside us in building the very first and possibly only Jaguar E-Type sofa in existed then please feel free to get in touch.

One For The Future: 2008 Aston Martin V8 Vantage

Visiting our workshops this week we have our 2008 Aston Martin V8 Vantage. The car has been very much enjoyed and used but the current owner is now looking to limit the miles and take out the car on summer days and car shows. As part of this change, we are looking to repair the rust issues that have developed on the bodywork and to repaint the car. All 4 wheels requiring refurbishing too.

Triumph TR6 – Accident Damage

Last week saw an unfortunate incident between two classic cars on their way to Helmingham Hall Festival of Classic and Sports Cars. One of the vehicles is now with us having undergone a full inspection report put together on behalf the insurance company.

Damage to the front section has caused a ripple effect through three quarters of the vehicle resulting in the doors being the last effect area. The front valance, bumper, bonnet section too the majority of the force so replacement parts and repairs will be required.

Once approved and possibly inspected we will get to work on carrying out the necessary repairs and have the car back on the road , hopefully in time for some upcoming events.

Morgan 4/4 running issues

Our 1964 Morgan 4/4 is in the workshops for a service and to look into an over-heating issue that has developed. Whilst in we need to look at running issues that looks to be coming from low compression on No3 and a possible problem with the clutch.

Finally, the wiring under the dash is very untidy and certain areas are a little questionable so this will need to be addressed too. This may result in a new wiring loom being manufactured.
