Classic Motor Cars Ltd, the famous restoration company in Bridgnorth, Shropshire, is to open its doors over the weekend of October 5th and 6th for it’s first ever auction and will be partnering with Loveridge Agents and Auctioneers.

Nigel Woodward Managing Director of CMC said: “Following on from our successful Jaguar Mk 2 Birthday party in June and as part of our commitment to provide interesting activities for the classic car market, we have decided to stage ‘The Great Garage Sale.’”

He added: “ This will be the first auction that we have ever held and it will be run by Guy Loveridge and his team. The auction will feature significant private collections of automobilia. Two private motoring libraries will feature as well as other delightful collectable items including toys and artwork.”

Guy Loveridge said: “ This is a fantastic opportunity and will bring Loveridge’s back to the market for the first time in a decade. The motoring libraries will feature over 500 books including signed and limited editions and the automobilia section will include rare diecast models, motoring toys and ephemera as well as unframed posters and significant original artworks".

Guy added: “ There will be no sellers commission and a buyers premium of only 15%. Listings will be on line three weeks before the auction and catalogues will be available on the day. The whole team are VERY excited by this opportunity" 

Viewing of the sale will be on Saturday October 5th at CMC’s headquarters Building 9, Stanmore Business Park, Bridgnorth WV15 5HP, from 9.30am until 11:30am. The auction will take place at Noon. Lots can be collected after the auction or on Sunday 6th of October between 10am and 2pm.

Nigel Woodward said: “ Our workshops will be open for a behind the scenes visit during the Saturday and we are planning to organise a dinner in Bridgnorth on the Saturday evening for like minded enthusiasts to enjoy"

CMC are also planning a Sunday classic car mystery tour starting from the workshops and culminating in a pub-lunch if there is enough interest.
