Bath auctioneers Aldridges put Blues Brothers models under the hammer

Auctioneers are hoping somebody needs these bodies.

Bath firm Aldridges are putting life-sized fibreglass models of the Blues Brothers under the hammer.

The Cheltenham Street auctioneers are selling Jake and Elwood Blues on behalf of a woman who bought them several years ago but ran out of space to house them.

Instead they have languished in a garage.

Aldridges account manager Graham Wiseman said he hoped they could find a buyer who would be able to put the figures on show.

"There has been a lot of interest in the figures.

"The owner is hoping they will be bought by someone who will put them on display.

"There appear to be a large number of Blues Brothers fans in Bath, so I am hopeful."

They will be part of The Collectors Sale, which takes place on Tuesday at 10am, and there have already been a few bids, with no reserve price set.

Mr Wiseman said he was surprised when he was shown them by salesroom manager Richard Evans.

He said: "I am in a band, and Richard came in to tell me that two of my band members had arrived. I was quite surprised when I saw them.

"I think the model of Jake is the better one, it has really captured his movement."
