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.

Hub of Activity – Preparing the 1934 MG PA Midget for Work on the Hubs

The 1934 MG PA Midget which belongs to our Director, Gordon, is in the workshop for our in-house teams to tackle the next jobs.

The first is our technicians have removed the hubs on the classic sports car so that our amazingly talented in-house paint team can get them to look as good as new for the car. This also gives our restoration technicians the chance to inspect and clean the hubs and spindles on the MG.

Another job on the list was to look into the battery of the car. Our team have been working on a way of better securing it into the car.

1979 MG Midget 1500 repair work

Back on the 26th July 2021 Coby Morton received the amazing news that he has won our 1979 MG Midget 1500. When carrying out the Pre Delivery Inspection checks in our workshops we discovered a small area of corrosion that needed to be repaired. Scott got to work immediately cutting out the area of interest and replacing the metal work with new.

The car is now in the paint shop with Matt and Chris to have the sills painted and the underneath sealed.

Hopefully we’ll be handing the keys over to Coby later this week. it may have taken a little longer to deliver than expected but as we often say, it’s the attention to detail that counts!

MG Midget: Classic Car Repairs

Pete has been working on a few repairs to our lovely little 1980 MG Midget.

It needed new brake cylinders and brake shoes which have now been fitted. There was also an issue with the clutch that needed attention. Pete diagnosed a faulty clutch slave cylinder and has now fitted a new slave cylinder.

This vehicle will soon be available for purchase from ourselves. It certainly isn’t a pristine vehicle, but this little MG is a lovely, usable classic car with a whole load of bang-for-your-buck summer driving fun to be had!
