At the Bridge Classic Cars Summer Show 2026, Loick, the son of our Managing Director Craig, raised £72 for EACH. He did this by asking our guests to guess how many bolts were in a jar and making a donation at the same time. This was an idea Loick came up with on his own, […]
One thing I’ve learned over the last few years is that cars and watches seem to work very well together. This makes sense if you think that both combine engineering and design, both tend to attract enthusiastic collectors and, when done properly, both can continue to be enjoyed for generations. That helps explain why Land […]
The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) has begun the national rollout of a new feature that allows MOT testers to take and upload a photograph of a vehicle during its MOT test.

Yesterday, we had a fantastic time at the Helmingham Hall Festival of Classic and Sports Cars. As the headline sponsor, we thoroughly enjoyed seeing all of the cars on display and having conversations with fellow classic car enthusiasts. This year’s event seemed to be even busier than previous years, and it was a great day […]
Our 1960 Triumph T100A is now live and available to win through Bridge Classic Cars Competitions. You might notice that this project is relatively empty. That’s because the bike arrived, was inspected, and was ready to go almost immediately. That is a sign of how good the condition of this bike is. Once the workshop […]
In the new Spider-Man film, Spider-Man Brand New Day, Spider-Man is seen with BMW’s new iX3 and the 5 Series.

When it went on sale in Japan in late 1997, the Toyota Prius was the world’s first mass-produced petrol-electric hybrid car. Hybrid technology itself was not new, but Toyota was the first manufacturer to solve enough of the practical problems to put it into series production as an ordinary family car. It’s important to remember […]
When Max and Molly visited Suffolk primary schools to share the Story of Rilee, they asked the children they met to design their very own sustainable car.

Following a visit from the customer, technician John carried out the requested work on our 1980 TVR 3000S by plumbing in the centre vents. He modified the elbows so they fitted correctly onto the vents, and found that the pipe passing through the bulkhead lined up almost perfectly. It was deliberately left slightly longer to […]
On Sunday, we welcomed hundreds of people to Bridge Classic Cars for our 2026 Summer Show. It was fantastic to see such a range of cars and bikes and, despite a short downpour, the sun stayed out for most of the show. A recent winner, Roger Freeman, came along and was able to collect his […]
Another important stage of the interior restoration moved forward as Rachael prepared the first front seat base for our 1955 Aston Martin DB2/4 Drophead Coupe.

As our 2004 Jaguar XKR is due to launch as one of our competition cars very soon, it took part in a photoshoot with John and Molly. It might not technically be a classic, but it still looks fantastic in these shots.
First registered on 30th June 1989, F302 NVA is a UK-supplied, five-door Volkswagen Golf GTI finished in Tornado Red and powered by a 1.8-litre eight-valve engine. As it comes with a comprehensive history file, I’ve been able to put together a detailed picture of its life. The original Volkswagen service book begins before the car […]
