Just Arrived – Our 1985 Ferrari Mondial
November 9, 2022
It may have been a wet and rainy evening when it arrived, but our 1985 Ferrari Mondial still looked impressive as it made its way to the Bridge Classic Cars workshop.
Once it was inside and dried off, it looked very much at home surrounded by other classic cars.
Our team of experienced classic car technicians will thoroughly assess and inspect the latest addition to our workshop before we decide what the future holds for this beautiful classic car.
Asbestos In Classic Cars
November 9, 2022
Asbestos used to be used for a wide range of functions. However, in more recent times, the detrimental impact it can have on people’s health has given it a bad reputation. As the majority of the cars that come into our workshop are classics, sometimes we come across some that may contain asbestos.
One such car that we currently have in the workshop is our 1972 Chevron B20. After leaving us last year, our 1972 Chevron B20 recently returned to us much to everyone’s excitement.
The reason for it returning to us is for it to be prepared for export. This F2 racing car is moving on to Australia in the near future. Australia has extremely strict laws surrounding asbestos. When it comes to importing vehicles into the country, any vehicle entering Australia must be completely free from the controversial material.
Checking For Asbestos In Classic Cars
Asbestos could potentially be found in a few areas of a classic car. Classic car technician Rob has been working alongside Richard from Positive Waste Solutions. Together, they stripped our Chevron B20 and made sure it was free from asbestos and ready for its trip to Australia.
Rob began the process by stripping the head while a poly drop sheet was placed underneath the engine to catch any falling debris. After Rob removed the head gasket, he carefully passed it to Richard who bagged it securely. The same process was followed for the brakes and clutch.
Richard also removed the insulation from the back exhaust.
Safety First
As asbestos can cause some dangerous health consequences, it’s extremely important that the appropriate precautions are taken during the removal process.
The photos below show Richard in his protective gear as he handles parts of our Chevron B20 that may have asbestos in them.
Once our 1972 Chevron B20 is given the all-clear, it will be ready for its long journey to Australia. We have loved having it back in the workshop and we look forward to seeing what the future holds for this rare classic car.
Underneath Our 1970 Land Rover Series IIA
November 9, 2022
Since we put our 1970 Land Rover IIA up for sale, we have had quite a few interested parties reach out to us to find out more.
One individual specifically asked about the condition of the underside of the vehicle. One of the workshop team headed up to our storage facility, The Hangar, to take some photos to share with the interested person.
As you can see from the photos below, although some attention is certainly needed to get this vehicle back to its former glory, everything is still running and the car is ready to be purchased by its new owner.
Our 1992 Rover Mini Cooper 1.3 Delivered
November 9, 2022
The lucky winner of our 1992 Rover Mini Cooper 1.3, received his car recently.
Peter Bell was randomly selected as the winner of our live draw held on 3rd November 2022 with ticket number 3569.
Everyone at Bridge Classic Cars would like to congratulate Peter again on winning this beautiful classic car and we hope he enjoys it as much as we did.
