In The Workshop

A new addition has recently made its way into the Bridge Classic Cars workshop – our 1962 Hillman Minx.

As you can see from the photos below, it is a beautiful classic car and one that will be nostalgic for many people. For now, it will have a thorough inspection and assessment by our team of technicians before a plan of action is put together for its future.

A Riley Tonneau

Classic car technician Brian has continued his work on our 1929 Riley 9 Tourer.

He first marked out where the front flap goes for the rear tonneau before he made paper patterns for the steering wheel cover. These were then cut out and a vinyl mock-up of the cover was made. Once the steering wheel cover was trial fitted, Brian cut out the front and rear tonneau covers from mohair.

The previously marked-out flap was cut out from mohair, as was the steering wheel cover. Brian then went on to cut a slot in the front tonneau cover for the steering wheel cover.

Door Panels For A Transit

Our Ford Transit MKII Tipper may have been stripped, prepped, and sent to the sandblasters, but that doesn’t mean work on it stops in the Bridge Classic Cars workshop.

In fact, classic car technician Brian has been making new boards for the door panels ready for when our Tipper comes back to the workshop and our restoration work continues. After Brian had cut out the boards from plywood, he cut the holes that were needed out too.
