Yesterday, the Bridge Classic Cars team welcomed Valerie to our restoration workshop to collect her 1973 Triumph TR6 she won through Bridge Classic Cars Competitions.
Valerie came down to take delivery of her beautiful Saffron Yellow TR6 and to have a look around our workshops at some of our restoration projects. Whilst she was collecting the car, we found out it was Valerie’s birthday! What a day it would be. Valerie, her son and her partner made the trip from Norfolk to collect the car and drive it home.
It’s always an incredible part of the story when you get to see someone’s reaction for the first time seeing their new classic in the metal for the first time. As Valerie said, the morning after she had won the car she still couldn’t believe it and had to ask if she had actually won it. This isn’t the first car Valerie won however, in 1991 she won a brand new Rover Metro through a competition by Heinz.
Still, this TR6 is a beautiful addition to the family so this morning Valerie sent us over a photo of ”Caramac” alongside the family Delorean in its new home.
We all want to wish Valerie many happy miles and hope she enjoys her new classic.
And here’s the video of Valerie collecting her 1973 Triumph TR6 from the Bridge Classic Cars workshop:
With the competition selling out just before the draw time of 7PM, the Bridge Classic Cars team got together to find out who the lucky new owner of our 1973 Triumph TR6 was.
The gorgeous Saffron Yellow TR6 was front and centre in the new Bridge Classic Cars building, surrounded by upcoming and some previous competition cars while a few of our personal collection are dotted throughout.
After having a look around and letting you all know about some very exciting competitions which have just gone live (the first ever driving experience of the Lotus Emira at the legendary Hethel test track) it was time to move on to what everyone was here for, finding out who had won the TR6.
As the team fired up the random number generator, and the entry list (published ahead of time due to the competition selling out early) up on the screen. It was time for the magical click, as the numbers whirred passed on the screen the last few messages of luck flashed up on the live comments. And there it was, 3999. A ticket number which was allocated to Valerie Bale. The new owner of the 1973 Triumph TR6.
Afterwards, during our live stream we tried to ring Valerie but couldn’t get through so left a message but she did ring back later and is over the moon with her new dream classic!
Last night, Bridge Classic Cars went to find out who the lucky new owner of our 1980 Supercharged Mini Van was.
At 7PM live on our Facebook page, we welcomed our followers watching along to our competition build which houses all of our competition cars and a couple of our personal cars and finished restoration projects. To begin with, we began our live stream from the inside of our new 1993 Land Rover Defender 90.
Then, Hayley and Freddie took everyone around the various cars which are held inside the building at our Suffolk HQ. Including the beautiful Saffron Yellow 1973 Triumph TR6 and the 1972 Lotus Elan +2. Of course, we couldn’t miss out on the car everyone was there for, the 1980 Supercharged Mini Van.
After the look around, it was time to find out who the new owner of this tiny terror was. The competition had sold out the day before so the entry list, as with all of our entry lists, is pre-published on our website for all to see. With 4999 tickets, we fired up the Random Number Generator.
With the parameters set, with one click of a button the fate of the Mini was sealed.
Its new owner was Peter with ticket 4529.
The team will give the Mini its pre-delivery inspection and one final check over before it is delivered straight to Peter.
Check out the live draw below:
Coming soon to the Bridge Classic Cars workshop is this beautiful 1954 Bristol 405.
Bridge Classic Cars have acquired the car for a customer to be restored and converted to left-hand drive by our workshop teams. The car is partway through a restoration in Ireland but is being supplied with the engine and gearbox from a Triumph TR6.
However, we have managed to track down and source the original engine and gearbox for the car! So, once they both arrive at our Suffolk HQ, the Bristol and its powertrain will be reunited once again. The TR6 engine and gearbox will be used for our own 1972 Triumph TR6 project completing what is needed for the car.
We’re excited to show you more about this fantastic car and project once it arrives at our Pettistree workshops.
