Marketing Manager - Bridge Classic Cars
The first-ever Classic & Sports Cars by the Bridge event, held yesterday at Suffolk Food Hall, was a great success. Not only were there hundreds of interesting and rare vehicles to look at but the event also raised money for a very important local charity – Cancer Support Suffolk.
As the headline sponsor, Bridge Classic Cars was proud to play a role in this special event. One of the cars displayed on our stand was our 1990 Jaguar XJ6 which will be won later today. This is still live on the Bridge Classic Cars Competitions website. Tickets are ยฃ5.00 and the lucky winner will be found today at 4pm with all proceeds being donated to Cancer Support Suffolk.
The event itself was a big success. There was a huge range of vehicles and entertainment and attendees were treated to an incredible day.
Best In Show
One of the highlights of the event was the Best in Show competition. As part of our involvement, we had the privilege of inspecting the cars on display and selecting the winners. This was no easy task, given the quality of the vehicles present. Each car was judged not only on its aesthetic appeal but also on the care and effort that had gone into its restoration and maintenance as well as displaying it in a way that tells its story perfectly.
3rd Place – 1989 Ford Orion 1.6 Ghia
2nd Place – 1936 Austin Six Goodwood
Best in Show – 1934 Lanchester Sports Coupe
For the first time this has happened, Classic & Sports Cars by the Bridge exceeded all expectations. The turnout was fantastic, with a steady stream of visitors throughout the day. The feedback from attendees was overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing their hope that this event will happen again. The success of the event is a fantastic showing of the hard work and dedication of everyone involved, from the team at Suffolk Food Hall to the Cancer Support Suffolk Team, and everyone else who played a part in the day’s success.
Looking to the future, Bridge Classic Cars is excited about the possibility of returning to this event next year. We believe that Classic & Sports Cars by the Bridge has the potential to grow into an annual event as part of the fundraising efforts for the charity. We are eager to continue our involvement, not only as sponsors but as active participants in the running of the day.
Bridge Classic Cars is proud to have been a part of this special day. If the event happens again next year -and we hope it does – we will be there, ready to support the celebration of classic cars and the important work of Cancer Support Suffolk.
A big thank you to everyone who made yesterday possible!

One response to “A New Suffolk Car Show”
Just wanted to say we had a great time at this show, the location was terrific and hope to see a repeat next year. The field was ideal for far more cars to display and hopefully when the word gets around, more excellent classics and modern classics will attend. Only criticism would be holding it on a Bank Holiday Monday put a lot of people off, due to reports of heavy traffic.
