Preparing for auction!

Are you new to the world of classic car auctions? We can take care of this for you. Here at Bridge Classic Cars we offer a complete auction preparation service. Today we have been preparing our gold 1973 Rolls Royce Corniche for auction!
The Rolls Royce will be at The Classic Sale at Silverstone, this Sunday, the 1st of August. Bids can be placed in the auction room, by phone, online or via commission.
Spare wheel cover for the Corniche.
July 27, 2021
Kath has been busy in the trim shop making a cover for the spare tyre for our gold 1973 Rolls Royce Corniche.
She started by cutting out black carpet in a circular shape for the top, and a long piece for the sides. Strips of black vinyl were then measured and cut. Kath sewed one of the vinyl strips around the outside edge of the circle of carpet. The vinyl was then folded under and sewn again along the edge of the carpet. This created a bound edge. She then created a bound edge on the long piece of black carpet, along one of the long edges and both the short ends. This long piece of carpet was then sewn onto the round piece of carpet, along the unbound edge, overlapping the two short ends. Pieces of velcro were sewn onto the underneath of the short ends, to make sure it stays together while wrapped around the tyre.
This car is being sold via The Classic sale at Silverstone 2021, by auction. Here’s a link to our website page with all the information needed. https://bridgeclassiccars.co.uk/product/1973-rolls-royce-corniche/ And her’s a link to the auction website page! https://www.silverstoneauctions.com/sa076-lot-16586-1973-rolls-royce-corniche-coupe?el=16586&pn=1&pp=100 You can choose to bid in various ways, either in the actual auction room, over the phone, live online or via commission!
Work on the blaze orange MG Midget.
July 27, 2021
A classic car wouldn’t be a classic car without a story! Last night we announced the winner of our 1979 MG Midget, congratulations to Coby Morton with ticket number 241.
Today, having put her on the ramp to carry out the necessary checks and pre delivery inspection we were greeted by a couple of small areas of corrosion that’ll need to be cut out and weld repairs carried out.
Paul and Scott have been working on repairing some corroded areas on our blaze orange 1979 MG Midget. The areas that needed attention were both the front inner arches, the nearside middle inner arch and the offside outer rear sill.
Paul also had to re-position and re-adjust the rear brake shoes and put a new rubber gaiter on the track rod end.
New owner for our 1960 Jensen 541S!
July 27, 2021
We have recently sold our 1960 Jensen 541S. It was being sold with the option of either; the buyer could buy the car as-is, or buy the car and have us restore it to its former glory or customise to their heart’s content. The buyer decided to buy it as-is and will be restoring it themselves! Here’s a website link to the original showroom page on our website, which gives you more information and photos.

Engine bay re-spray for the Jaguar!
July 27, 2021
The 1963 Jaguar MK II has been in the paint shop recently.
All the original paint and underseal was stripped from the engine bay of the car. It was then cleaned to remove any excess residues that would get in the way of the new paint. All the wires were masked up to prevent any paint from spraying onto them. Paper was then stuffed into any gaps. The final bit of prep was to cover the rest of the car in plastic sheeting. The engine bay was then finally ready for the new paint to be applied.

Inner rear arch work continues on the Honda!
July 27, 2021
Pricey has been continuing his work on the corroded inner rear arches of the 1998 Honda Integra Type R.
The inner arch section was fabricated and welded into position. The metal was ground down and dressed up. The nearside lower inner rear wheel housing was found to be corroded, so Pricey fabricated the nearside lower rear wheel housing section.
