1964 Mercedes-Benz 319 L Camper
March 25, 2020
Many years ago we were in talks with Paul who owns this lovely 1964 Mercedes Benz 319L camper. At the time he was interest in Bridge Classic Cars carrying out the restorative work on the camper to get her back on the road. Various circumstances unfortunately meant that the camper did not make it into our workshops back then but we have recently discussed now being the perfect time to complete the restoration.
Our role, at present, will be to perfect the exterior lines and replace any metalwork that requires attention. Once we are happy with the repair work we will prepare the body shell and paint. At the moment a colour is yet to be decided but this is not crucial at this stage.
Paul has collected all of the chrome work, trims and windows so as part of our task, we will refit the exterior components once painted and return the camper ready for the bespoke interior to be fitted.
We really hope to see this lovely vintage camper enter our workshops very soon.
Here you can see the original Mercedes Camper before restorative works commenced.

Ford Consul Engine Restoration
March 25, 2020
The owner of this wonderful 1959 Ford Consul came in to see us as the engine was smoking on start up. This is often a sign of worn valves guides. You can see in the videos below just how worn they are.
Ady, Bridge Classic Cars’ engine specialist will now undergo the following work to get this lovely classic running as it should.
The head will have new valve guides fitted and have an unleaded conversion to have a hardened seat fitted.
All the valves will be refaced. You can see how heavily pitted the valves are, unleaded fuel has burned some of the seat away.
New gaskets have all been ordered up and will be fitted when we reach the assembly phase.
We will also investigate the cylinder bores as there is a deep grove in one of the bores which may result in a broken piston ring. It looks like there has also been a head gasket go in it’s time as cylinder one has had water damage to the bore.
