The Festival of Classic & Sports Cars

Held in association with the Suffolk Vehicle Enthusiasts Club (SVEC), the Festival of Classic & Sports Cars features vehicles from a wide range of eras. More than 1000 vehicles attended the 2022 festival so you can be sure you will be able to find something for everyone.

The show takes place against the backdrop of Helmingham Hall and its surrounding moat making for a stunning location for some truly beautiful cars.

In addition to the eye-catching vehicles on display, there are plenty of activities for all the family including childrenโ€™s activities, fairground stalls, over 40 craft and trade stalls, main ring entertainment, birds of prey and much more!

A variety of food and drink will be available and there will be multiple forms of entertainment including country music artists Jax & Co, who will be playing among other performers, plus Chocks Away will be dancing throughout the day showing off their skills in Jive, Swing and Lindy Hop.

There is also the opportunity to transport yourself back to the era your car was made by dressing in the fashion of the time. Competitions for best dressed will be going on throughout the festival so you can be rewarded for making the effort.

Primed And Ready

Classic car technician Al has been applying primer to various parts of our 1959 Jensen 541R.

The underside of the bonnet was the first to have epoxy primer applied before the outside of the bonnet had its primer applied too.

Once the bonnet was complete, Al turned his attention to the doors, boot, wings, and body of this rare classic car. All of these had high-build primer applied.

Work continues on our classic Jensen 541R as it makes progress through its restoration journey in the Bridge Classic Cars workshop.

Paint Improvements For Our MGB GT

It won’t be too much longer until our 1968 MGB GT will be available to win through Bridge Classic Cars Competitions.

To make sure it is ready to be won, it has spent some time in the paintshop with classic car technician Chris. He has been making some improvements to the paintwork to ensure this classic British sports car is looking its very best for its eventual new owner.

Fixing Rust Issues

Our 1968 Jaguar E-Type Series 1.5 has spent some time in the Bridge Classic Cars paintshop recently.

Checking Our Daimler

After being in storage for several years, our 1968 Daimler 250 is in the Bridge Classic Cars workshop for an assessment and appraisal.

Classic car technician Jonn began his inspection of our classic Daimler and found some small areas of rust as well as noticing an issue with the engine oil level. The oil had been overfilled so there was actually too much of it in the car.

Once the car has been fully checked, Jonn’s findings will be reported to the car’s owner ready to formulate a plan of action for the future.
