Workshop Welcome!

This week we’ve giving a warm welcome to some fantastic classics. Arriving in the workshop we’ve had a real mix, from a 1967 Jaguar MKII to a 1972 MG Midget.

First up, our beautiful 1951 MGTD joined the workshop this week to begin recommissioning work. She’s already had a service, a brake check, her electrics have been tended to and she’s even been treated to a thorough polish. We’re already in love with this stunning car!

Next in was our break-in survivor, our lovely 1967 Jaguar MKII. This pretty classic was broken into and is with us for back seat repair and some minor dent damage.

It’s such a shame to see a classic car purposefully damaged in this way. But, we have just the team to put her right and return her to her former glory.

Our brilliant little 1972 MG Midget came to us this week with a puncture and a cracked distributor cap. The team are going to get her repaired and back on the road in no time.

Our exquisite 1989 Jaguar XJRS TWR arrived this week for a full survey to see what work needs to be carried out by our expert classic car technicians. We’ll be keeping you posted with what we uncover in the next few weeks.

Another Jaguar arrival at the workshop this week, was our gorgeous 1963 Jaguar SS100. With us for a couple of light repairs noted on her latest MOT. We’ll be sure to have her driving smoothly once more.

So there you have it, a warm welcome to all our new arrivals this week. We’re now bursting at the seams with classic cars! There’ll be a busy few weeks ahead trying to get this beauties fixed up and back to their owners.

Enjoying MG – October 2020

A former classic of ours, a 1980 MG Midget, has been featured in Enjoying MG Magazine. Her owner, Arthur Civill, gave a brilliant write-up on her history and talked about how he bought the car.

“I was fortunate to be able to purchase the car in 2018 following a fairly comprehensive recommissioning programme carried out by Bridge Classic Cars.” Arthur describes, “the car is absolutely mint and drives superbly.”

Prior to coming to Bridge Classic Cars, the MG Midget was in the same family for over 37 years. We hope she spends the next 37 with our good friend Arthur Civill, it sounds like she’s found a fantastic home.

Sealing up our Spitfire

Our 1971 Triumph Spitfire arrived with us last week with leaks all over the place. Ady, our specialist engine technician has been diagnosing the faults and working out what needs to be done.

“I’ve taken the sump off and taken the cover off the engine” Ady explains, “then cleaned an replaced all the seals”.

We won’t know until the engines all put back together if this has solved the problems, but we hope it has. Check back in again soon for what happens next!
