THE TEAM AT BRIDGE CLASSIC CARS​

Based in Pettistree, just a stone’s throw from Woodbridge, Suffolk, Bridge Classic Cars is a renowned name when it comes to the restoration and maintenance of vintage and classic vehicles.

Established in 2004, Bridge Classic Cars is built on a passion for classic vehicles and ensuring that future generations get to admire them now and in the future.

We operate a full in-house service including restorations, tuning and engine rebuilds, automotive electrics, service and repairs, body preparation and paintwork, interior trim work, and more; all from our state-of-the-art workshop facilities. Keeping things in-house means we are able to maintain our meticulous standards that have led our restorations to multiple awards.

While we will always have restorations at the heart of the business, Bridge Classic Cars has grown into so much more. We offer weekly competitions where anyone in the UK can win their dream classic car for just a few pounds. We have a packed calendar of events that we host in our purpose-built events space (yes, we do have a licensed bar!) We also create some of the best automotive content you’ll find anywhere online.

You don’t have to come to us either, we provide vehicle transport and vehicle storage solutions too.

We offer a wide range of other services so if you need some help with your classic car, we’re here to help.

Our workshop team consists of specialist technicians, welders, painters, engine builders and trimmers. These are complemented by our innovative media team and our experienced administration team. Led by the father and son duo of Gordon and Craig Ranson, we bring nearly 400 years of combined experience in owning, restoring, maintaining, and competing with classic cars and motorcycles.
