Smallest Details – Trim Edging on the 1934 MG PA Midget

We love the 1934 MG PA Midget here at Bridge Classic Cars. Whilst work is continuing on the classic sports car in the workshop, our in-house trim expert Brian has the seat in the trim shop.

Underneath the driver’s seat, the original leather liner and edging were missing. No problem for Brian and the trim team. Brian made the new piece from high-quality black leather and then hand made the edging which surrounded the outer edge of the seat base.

Our trim shop do an amazing job. Brian’s work really finishes off the seat from the 1934 MG PA, but expect to see a lot more on this car in the coming weeks here on the Bridge Classic Cars news page.

Under the Skin – Undersealing the 1968 Jaguar MkII 2.4

Part of the work carried out on the 1968 Jaguar MkII 2.4 by our in-house technicians here at Bridge Classic Cars was protecting the underside of the car.

Dave, one of our in-house restoration technicians, began by prepping the entire underside of the car and the wheel wells ahead of the undersealer being applied. The preparation before this is done is crucial to make sure the treatment has a clean and even surface to work on and build off.

After it had been thoroughly cleaned down, Dave began the process of applying the sealer to protect the car from the elements and whatever road grime may lay ahead on its adventures with its owner.
